The Truth About NBC TV Series 'Constantine' According To Daniel Cerone. Canceled Or Renewed?

Will there be a "Constantine" season 2?

Yesterday, rumors spread that the Hellblazer-based TV series from NBC has been officially canceled by the network.

The news was first broke by a Buzzfeed staff, leaving those who want it to get renewed devastated. Turned out, that report was just based on a hunch and a person directly connected to the show denies it is true.

Comicbook.com immediately contacted "Constantine" developer Daniel Cerone regarding the news spreading around and he clarified that his show is not canceled nor renewed.

The plan is he and other writers and showrunners will make their pitch at NBC by the end of the month for "Constantine" season 2 as what was previously reported.

"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," said Cerone who developed "Constantine" TV series alongside David S. Goyer.

"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."

Although "Constantine" season 2 still has a chance, Cerone told Comicbook.com it will be a long shot. He said:

"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."

He also went on to clear reports about "Constantine" season 2 cancellation/renewal through his Twitter account.

"Constantine" TV series, which stars Welsh actor Matt Ryan in the title role, aired for 13 episodes from Oct. 24 last year to Feb. 13.
