The dreaded cancellation of "Constantine" on NBC in 2015 has left fans wondering if the show would be getting another shot at airing elsewhere. When the show's executive producers confirmed that all the talents have been released from their contracts, then pursuing a renewal became a moot point.
But now that the first season of "Constantine," which starred Matt Ryan as John Constantine, is being streamed on The CW Seed, renewal talks have once again resurfaced. Could "Constantine" actually be primed for a Season 2 on The CW, or does this hint of a potential appearance for the character on another show, such as "Legends of Tomorrow?"
'Constantine' On The CW Seed
According to Bleeding Cool, all 13 episodes of "Constantine" Season 1 can be watched on The CW Seed streaming site. The episodes were put up in early July and anyone interested to re-watch or catch up on the series can do so for free.
But fans are growing curious as to why the show is currently on the streaming site after more than a year of being off the air. NBC pulled the plug on "Constantine" in February 2015 due to low ratings and the cast and crew have moved on to other projects since.

'Constantine' Revival A Huge Possibility?
The DC Comics character, who goes after the supernatural and sends them back to hell, appeared on The CW show "Arrow" after "Constantine's" cancellation. TV Insider reports that, short of calling it magical, this actually doesn't happen a lot on television, but "Arrow" did it twice at that.
So, if this can happen on TV, then a potential "Constantine" revival is not far-fetched. Speculations are that The CW is testing the waters for a "Constantine" revival. But if "Constantine" isn't getting a Season 2, then the character could either return on "Arrow" or become part of "Legends of Tomorrow," which also runs on The CW.
"Legends of Tomorrow" consists of superheroes from DC Comics, otherwise known as John Constantine's family. They are all part of one studio, which makes the revival or casting easier to put together for network. It's still uncertain what will happen to "Constantine" at this point, but there is hope a good news is awaiting its fans.
