From Constantine Halted At 13 Episodes But Not Cancelled Posted on November 24, 2014 by Dan Wickline On Friday the cast and crew of NBC’s Constantine were told that the production will be stopped after the initial 13 episode order that it received. But the series is not cancelled and is in strong contention for a second season. The show has been gaining audiences since its initial airing with it being up 38% with the fifth episode that aired Friday. The problem is that unlike other freshman shows, Constantine didn’t start until late October giving the network only four episodes to make a full season commitment on. So NBC will see how the show does over the last eight episodes and then make a decision about a second season. NBC is still promoting the show and ran a marathon of the series on SyFy this weekend. In its time slot NBC is considering running Hannibal, which is returning for a third season, or one of their mid-season shows: Allegiance, Odyssey, Aquarius, as well as miniseries The Slap.

Is it worth watching?
I thought about watching it initially but never started, so any feedback people can give would be helpful. There's nothing else on Friday nights I watch, so it wouldn't be a problem to pick up something new, but I'm worried that it is too neutered from the comic book version, which would be disappointing.

I'd recommend watching it. With that said, it's not phenomenal but it's pretty good. On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd give the show a 6. |

I'll try to catch up with episodes OnDemand this week. |

For me it's the best of the DC series on right now. Captures Constantie the right bastard and is suitably creepy for the type of genre show it is.

Amy just got this update on Facebook shared by Christy Blanch* earlier today.. So if you want to let NBC know in some small way there is support for the show... -M  *Christy is a comic writer (Damnation of Charlie Wormwood), educator, comic shop owner, and partner of Mark Waid, and just all around super-cool person if you ever get to meet her at a con or store signing...one of my favorite people I have met on the con circuit |
