Constantine Not Cancelled, Still Awaiting its Fate

Constantine‘s fate is still up in the air, though websites and blogs would have you think otherwise. Going off the list generated by Buzzfeed, many sites are reporting Constantine has officially got the ax from NBC. Trusting a site which built its empire on lists ripped off from Reddit probably wasn’t the way to go. The author of the article claimed it was “fact checked.”

Well apparently Kate didn’t check her facts well enough because the show has shifted in her list from cancelled to “awaiting news,” though you wouldn’t really know about the switch unless you had seen earlier copies of the post.

Daniel Cerone, the producer of the show, last updated fans on March 28 saying they were pitching their season 2 to NBC in April, and NBC will decide after.

Cerone confirmed the fact the show’s fate is still up in the aire, and in a statement to another site:

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. 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.

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.

For facts, go to the source people, not click-bait websites.
