Constantine Is BACK! Could We Be In Line For A Tv Series Return?

Constantine fans rejoice! The show is back, although sadly it’s not back for a second series, with the news that CW have acquired the show and are showing it for FREE (yes free) on CW Seed, this had sparked a frenzy of rumors that the show could be coming back.

Now don’t get me wrong I love El Rey, they are constantly putting shows out there of top quality that may not have got picked up elsewhere, they are also the home of the number one wrestling promotion right now Lucha Underground. That’s why I trusted them 100% or that was until the pulled the plug on Constantine. I don’t understand the reasons for it, but needless to say I went into a Firefly like state of denial before finally coming to terms with the shows demise quite recently.

So why have CW picked up the show? Well they already have an impressive array of shows in Supergirl, Riverdale, Frequency, Beauty And The Beast and oh yeah most importantly Arrow, to name but a few. yes I know I left out Vampire Diaries, The Flash, The Originals, Legends Of Tomorrow and The 100. I feel that this was less about the chance of reviving the show but more about stocking up on it’s DC heavy content.

It makes sense for CW to get the rights to the show after all it owns most if not all of the other DC television adaptations. Plus what’s more within the DC Universe there are frequent crossovers, so when you’re watching Arrow and John Constantine makes an appearance you know he’s the number one badass in exorcism and the demonic black arts.

Could the fact the show has been picked up, mean we could be in for a long awaited and much hoped for second series? Well in reality sadly not, as the cast and crew were released from their contracts once negotiations to try and save the show had failed. Although with the news that the Dark Justice League is set to be animated rather than live action, there may be a tiny sliver of hope.

Constantine, however, did pop up in Arrow’s fourth season when he was brought in by Oli to try and resolve the Sara Lance Lazarus Pit problem. Let’s face it he stole the show in that one episode and CW you would be mad not to pick this series up, then again you didn’t renew The Secret Circle so I’m not holding out any hope.

Just incase you miss our favourite exorcist, here’s the official trailer from the show below

Frequency Gets a TV Show Remake… And It Looks Amazing!

Tune in to this blast from the past remake about a literal blast from the past (but not the 1999 Brendan Fraser film of the same name).

Frequency, a film from the year 2000, is getting a television show reboot.

Now that you know that, reread the first sentence a few times. I promise it makes sense.

For those not in the know, Frequency is a fantastic thriller starring Jim Caviezel (Person of Interest, The Passion of the Christ) and Dennis Quaid (The Day After Tomorrow, Pandorum).

The story revolves around a long-dead father and his now-grown son, connected over time via an old radio and a freak electrical storm.

Caviezel (the son), who’s now a cop, attempts to change the past by saving his father (Quaid) from the fire that killed him when Caviezel was just a kid.

But in doing so, they spark a chain reaction that spirals into chaos. I’ll try not to spoil anything else, but if you’re interested, here’s the trailer:

But that’s enough about the film. CW is now remaking the film into a television series – but it seems the only thing they’ve taken from the original is the concept, as the stories are drastically different.

For one, it’s about a daughter and her father. Peyton List (The Tomorrow People, Flashforward) will play Raimy Sullivan, with the role of her father, Frank Sullivan, played by Riley Smith (Radio, New York Minute).

Two, not only is she a cop – she’s a cop following in her father’s footsteps (in the original film, the father was a fireman).

Three, her father was killed while on the trail of a serial killer – a serial killer that’s been silent until the old ham radio connects Raimy and Frank through time.

After she warns Frank of his impending death, she somehow – improbably, impossibly – manages to save her father’s life. But things devolve rapidly from there, as the daughter’s life begins to fall apart.

Instead of her father dying, her mother dies at the hands of the serial killer. Instead of having a loving almost-fiancé, he has no idea who she is and has never met her.

Is there a way for her to fix her life, catch the serial killer, and save her mother and her father?

I don’t know… but I’m extremely excited to find out.

Here’s the trailer – I know that I’ll be hulu-ing (yes, it’s now a word, deal with it) the heck out of this show when it comes out this fall!
