Last night a rumour emerged from Buzzfeed suggesting that NBC had pulled the plug on its ratings-challenged DC show Constantine, but it seems the report may have been a little premature as showrunner Daniel Cerone has debunked the claim, posting the following message to ComicBook:
“I just received confirmation from the corporate offices at NBC. I was assured that Constantine has not been canceled and our pitch meeting to discuss a potential second season remains on the books. By the way, this is a pitch meeting involving the president of Warner Bros and and the entertainment heads of NBC. Nobody at this incredibly busy time of the development season has time to waste taking pointless meetings. Now, is it fair to say that Constantine is a long shot? Sure, that’s fair to say. While we marginally improved a tough time slot for NBC, we’re a very expensive show to produce. A lot of NBC’s decision making will not doubt hinge on their new pilots and how they feel those new shows would fare as a companion piece to Grimm, versus a second season of Constantine.”
So, it looks like there’s still some hope of a second season, although the chances seem slim…
