Constantine will premiere on NBC on October 24th, and in some encouraging news for the series, Deadline reports that the network has ordered three extra scripts for the DC Comics adaptation. This has become a common practice for new shows, and The Flash also received a similar order recently. As the site points out, "Picking up backup scripts has become a favorite tactic of the broadcast network as it is a relatively inexpensive way to buy a few extra weeks by keeping writers working on shows that executives feel have promise before the nets have to decide on a back episodic order." From Executive Producer David S. Goyer (Batman Begins) and director Neil Marshall (Game of Thrones) comes a dark new thriller that proves fighting evil is a hell of a job. The series stars Matt Ryan, Harold Perrineau and Charles Halford. What do you guys think?

I finished off Justice League: Trinity War over the weekend and am halfway through Forever Evil (both of which involve a lot of Constantine), couldn't be more excited for the show. Matt Ryan is the perfect guy to play the character.

Only got to watch the pilot last week, but I was very in to it. Great acting, good script, good story and plot. All around has a lot of promise. It was much better than the movie we got like 10 years ago which I won't lie I actually like but this was better

I don't think this show has much potential further than the lead.

Apparently I reported one of your comments, which is weird....because I definitely didn't.

Every morning I wake up, make some coffee and look at cbm headlines before I go to work.
Every morning I'm shocked and appalled i wasn't banned.
Every morning I say to myself " you have to APPLY yourself more"
Evey night I go to bed hopeful.

This looks to be a good show. I wonder if those leaked pilots for this and Flash were planned. Hmmmm

I reckon both leaked pilots for THE FLASH / CONSTANTINE, were all very very incidental... just to stir the pot, early buzz....and when actual epicodes comes out, makes everyone at the edge of their seats for it... Good Tactics...But they gotta deliver to keep us, the fans, constantly at the edge of our seats for the whole entire season...We Shall See

I really hope that they find a way to bring in Zatanna and Swamp Thing. Plus it would be great if the Shadowpact could be in the series too.
