According to NBC, for most cable channels, the budget for producing "Constantine" is an obstacle. Although, Nellie's Andreeva of Deadline is giving some hope, wherein she said,  "I hear there could be a future for the show, even a potential broadcast play - what do you think of this monster mash: Lucifer, Frankenstein and Constantine under one roof?!"

"Constantine," aired a single 13-episode during season 1, starring "Criminal Minds" actor, Ryan, as the chain-smoking supernatural investigator, first launched by Alan Moore in "Saga of the Swamp Thing and a spin-off into his own show, "Hellblazer."  

The first season also stars Angélica Celaya ("Dallas"), Harold Perrineau ("Lost") and Charles Halford. The series is produced by Bonanza Productions with Warner Bros. Television. The series is written by executive producers Mark Verheiden, Daniel Cerone and David S. Goyer.
