Swamp Thing 37 sure seems to have taken a hit with the cancellation. I love the book but the price needs to take a large correction before I buy it again.

CW Gives Glimmer of Hope for Season 2 of ‘Constantine’ from Cancellation

 

Mark Pedowitz, in his latest statement to tvseriesfinale.com said that talks about CW not saving “Constantine” are just plain rumors. He also jokingly added that there is a rumor going around that I was going to play in the NBA.

 

The statement of Pedowitz actually gave “Constantine” and its fans a glimmer of hope for the possible airing of the show’s second season. But until an official confirmation from the network is made, everyone is still keeping their fingers crossed.

 

According to the latest viewership figures, “Constantine” had averaged around 3.5 million households weekly. The show ended its first season with 3.3 million viewers, a slight improvement to its series-low penultimate episode with 2.96 million viewers.

It probably will be corrected. I don't have any hopes for this show to be continued, now.

It is definitely a sad day across the hobby.

 

OFFICIAL: CONSTANTINE Is Dead; Executive Producer Daniel Cerone Issues Statement

 

I promised I’d share news when I had it — sadly, that news is not good. The cast and writers of Constantine are being released from their contracts. The studio tried to find a new home for the show, for which we’re forever grateful, but those efforts didn’t pan out. I’m sorry, I wasn’t provided any information on the attempts to sell the show elsewhere. All I can report is that the show is over.

 

Many ingredients went into this TV series. From the dedicated cast that breathed these characters to life, led by Matt Ryan as the comic-made-flesh embodiment of John Constantine, to the exceptionality talented crew that put unreal images on screen, to the original Hellblazer writers and artists who gifted us a universe.

 

As a general principle, writers don’t choose a writing career to achieve stardom. Whatever demons or insecurities drove them to find freedom of expression through written words generally keeps writers comfortably obscure behind their words. Nor do people choose writing as a means to financial freedom. I’d venture to guess that most who set out to write professionally never receive a paycheck for their hopeful scribbles or key strokes.

 

In fact, nobody I know ever chose a writing career — it chose them. You write because that’s what you do. Like breathing, it just happens and you have to do it and you just hope that someday somebody out there notices what you’re trying to say.

 

If that’s the dream of writers, than the writers of Constantine lived the dream, because we’re leaving behind wild and passionate fans who believe in and were moved by what we tried to do. To leave such a significant, dedicated and active fan base on the table — that’s the real sadness. You all deserve many years of the series we set out to make, and we’re disappointed that we couldn’t deliver that to you. The good news is that Constantine will live on for years in many more forms. But our time as caretakers has ended.

 

Thank you for letting us in.

 

Daniel Cerone

What a shame! And he was fanatical over the role, which is what I want from an actor.

 

:(

 

What the fans should do is put ALL that effort into getting Del Toro to cast Matt in any role that requires John Constantine (ala Justice League Dark). He's already expressed interest....and this final kick in the balls by NBC should be repaid in turn by showing how wrong they were. It would be the ultimate vindication.

If the DCCU is going to go the route of a shared universe that crosses platforms much as the MCU does, it would make sense for them to cast him to keep things consistent.

But that would negate the idea of a comprehensive universe. If Marvel cast a movie role for, say, Agent Coulson as a different actor than the guy in the movies that would be confusing and counterproductive. If DC went with this guy for the TV show then they ought to respect the fans and the concept of the shared universe by keeping him. It is the better long term move.

I miss Constantine.

Damn NBC for giving it a bad time slot.
