A DESPERATE WIFE MUST MAKE A DEAL WITH THE DEVIL TO SAVE HER HUSBAND'S LIFE -- MICHAEL JAMES SHAW GUEST STARS AS 'PAPA MIDNITE' -- John (Matt Ryan) and Zed (Angélica Celaya) engage in a dangerous confrontation to save a woman and her family from sinister forces. John's efforts force him to confront the darkness in his own life - while also coming face to face with a new powerful adversary in Papa Midnite (guest star Michael James Shaw)?. Harold Perrineau and Charles Halford also star.

Based on the wildly popular comic book series "Hellblazer" from DC Comics, seasoned demon hunter and master of the occult John Constantine specializes in giving hell... hell. Armed with a ferocious knowledge of the dark arts and his wickedly naughty wit, he fights the good fight - or at least he did. With his soul already damned to hell, he's decided to leave his do-gooder life behind. But when demons target Liv, the daughter of one of Constantine's oldest friends, he's reluctantly thrust back into the fray - and he'll do whatever it takes to save her. Before long, it's revealed that Liv's "second sight," an ability to see the worlds behind our world and predict supernatural occurrences, is a threat to a mysterious new evil that's rising in the shadows. And now it's not just Liv who needs protection; the angels are starting to get worried too. So, together, Constantine and Liv must use her power and his skills to travel the country, find the demons that threaten our world - and send them back where they belong. After that, who knows... maybe there's hope for him and his soul after all.

Matt Ryan as John Constantine
Harold Perrineau as Manny
Charles Halford as Chas Chandler
Angélica Celaya as Zed Martin
Lucy Griffiths as Liv Aberdeen
Joey Phillips as Nergal

I think this show's getting cancelled

Deschain99 - 11/5/2014, 2:52 PM

I keep expecting this show to disappoint me and it just doesn't. Solid show solid show . . .still feel they should put some more character into the film work though. Good times.

Lemons - 11/5/2014, 2:57 PM

Good show. Poorly marketed and given a shitty time slot, unfortunately.

ZeoTV - 11/5/2014, 2:58 PM

@Deschain99 I agree im just afraid that this show wil get cancelled cuz ratings have been low

Deschain99 - 11/5/2014, 3:06 PM

@ZeoTV

Like @Lemons said"Poorly marketed and given a shitty time slot" It's like NBC isn't even trying or could give less of a f*ck.

All is NBC fault who the [frick] watches tv on friday nights!?

LOCKE - 11/5/2014, 3:29 PM

Very sad that this show isn't getting a fair chance

Axiom - 11/5/2014, 4:40 PM

Pretty good show, the guy playing Constantine nailed it. Hope they get the chance to introduce Lucifer.

Axiom - 11/5/2014, 4:40 PM

And (nerdgasm) Swamp Thing. I would pass out from the awesomeness

kylemf88 - 11/5/2014, 5:08 PM

Chill out with the show is going to get canned stuff guys. It's on NBC, the numbers are fine by their standards. Hannibal is in the same time slot with worse numbers and got a third season picked up.

danield222 - 11/5/2014, 5:48 PM

kylemf88:

Yeah, but Hannibal is a co-production between NBC and AXN, so it's much cheaper for NBC, because of that it stays alive longer (it has a huge following around the world, also syndication).
Constantine is in it's second episode and already has bad numbers, and it will surely go downer, but yeah friday nights are doomed for NBC-only shows, Dracula also died after a season.
Example:
Hannibal has 2,5 million viewers (co-production), Dracula had 3 million (NBC only) and Constantine had 3 million in it's second episode (NBC only).

ComicFan523 - 11/5/2014, 6:07 PM

Great show, I don't know how long its going to be on but I say we all just enjoy it while it lasts. Maybe the fans will get together and save the show like they did with Chuck for five years, although Chuck had a bigger audience then Constantine does.

Trickwil - 11/6/2014, 12:31 AM

it's a lot better than Gotham

Boosterblue - 11/6/2014, 7:34 AM

Gotham is a hit! Flash is a hit! If Constantine is cancelled, it will ONLY BE NBCs FAULT!!!
If they have any sense at all, they will move it to another night!
