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
