'Constantine' News: Season 2 Pitched, Renewal Up in the Air
The supernatural TV series "Constantine" is still in limbo with regards to its season renewal on NBC. The first season ended in February 2015, with its 13th episode, and nine episodes shy of a full 22-episode season order. Recently, the show's producer Daniel Cerone and the show's writers took to Twitter to share news about the pitch that they will make to NBC executives for Season 2.
According to report in Cinema Blend, Cerone and his team shared their ideas with the network, after which the network will have to make the decision of whether to renew or cancel the show. The decision will likely come a few weeks or more after the meeting.
Perhaps in a bid to gather fan support for the show's renewal, the show's writers took to Twitter to tease possible new characters to be developed for the show's next season. One of the tweets said: "We were planning on introducing #DoctorFate, #Spectre, #PhantomStrange, #TheDemon, etc. Want 'em? Contact #NBC!!! #DSG."
The show's writers also shared tidbits of what their plans are for the next season. According to the report, they would like to introduce Doctor Strange, whose was apparently shown in some episodes in Season 1; also Phantom Stranger and Etrigan the Demon. It is also in Season 2 that Detective Jim Corrigan will die and finally become The Spectre, God's spirit of vengeance.
Another tidbit they shared is the possibility of making Papa Midnite, Corrigan's arch-enemy in Season 1, as a series regular in the next season.
Lastly, the show's creative team are planning something big for the lake house, which serves as the protagonists' headquarters of sorts in the show. One arc in Season 2 is said to be set entirely in the lake house, which in actuality is a "bigger-on-the-inside" lair. One episode in Season 1 apparently showed just how vast the house is, when one of the protagonists was being pursued right inside the house.
Fans will just have to wait for official word from NBC to see if these ideas will come into fruition.
