Fans of the comic book character have long been asking for “Constantine” after its unceremonious cancellation two years ago on NBC. The network decided not to push through with the show following failing ratings, but fans have petitioned to bring it back since.

Fans loved Matt Ryan’s portrayal as Constantine and he has reprised the roles in special guest appearances on other DC productions on TV like “Arrow” and “Justice League” animated series. “Constantine” is best on the “Hellblazer” comic series from DC Comics.
