Is "Constantine" really dead on television? Despite NBC canceling the series in mid-2015, talks continue to spark about its potential revival on another network. The CW took interest in reruns of "Constantine" Season 1 on its free online streaming service, The CW Seed. But with the first-ever release of the "Constantine" DVD/BluRay sets, it looks like The CW is interested in something more.
Inverse suggests that The CW might be keen on resurrecting "Constantine" based on several ads that were published in DC comics in the recent weeks. These ads were for Warner Archive store's DVD and BluRay library. It highlighted The CW shows like "iZombie" and "The 100," whose video releases have already been previously announced. Interestingly enough, the ad also includes the long-awaited release of "Constantine" Season 1 on DVD/BluRay, but the details have yet to be revealed.
The media site further suggests that because the character of Constantine has been part of The CW's "Arrow" in the past -- with Matt Ryan's guest stints -- then "Constantine" has already established itself in The CW's programming. As it is, the network is reportedly planning on boosting its Friday schedule with horror, thriller and suspense series. Could this line up potentially include the Hellblazer?
Meanwhile, "Constantine's" former showrunner, Daniel Cerone, had some idea that DVD/BluRay could be coming to the Warner Archive store, but he believes it's the show's avid followers who made it all happen. "I give [fans] all the credit because they've made their voices known and never gave up," Cernone said per Comic Book. "I'm continually overwhelmed by the passion out there for this character," he added, in reference to the countless of petitions that had fans hoping "Constantine" gets another season.
Warner Archive has not made any comments as to when these video sets will be available at their store and it looks like the site will be carrying "Constantine" Season 1 video sets exclusively. More announcements about this are expected soon, so stay tuned!
