Check out this clip from NBC’s Constantine, starring Matt Ryan

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Just yesterday we caught a glimpse at the three minute promo for NBC's upcoming TV adaptation of "Constantine" which stars Matt Ryan who looks like he's having a blast taking on the popular comic book character. Although I really dig the look of the show so far, I'm both excited and not excited about this one simply because NBC likes to cancel the shit out of their shows, so here's hoping that they give this one a fair shot before they ditch it like so many others. IGN snagged the clip below as it introduces us to none other than John Constantine. Dig it!

The series is set to hit NBC this fall. Here is NBC's official description of the show:

Based on the wildly popular comic book series “Hellblazer” from DC Comics, seasoned demon hunter and master of the occult John Constantine (Matt Ryan, “Criminal Minds”) specializes in giving hell… hell. Armed with a ferocious knowledge of the dark arts and his wickedly naughty wit, he fights the good fight — or at least he did. With his soul already damned to hell, he’s decided to leave his do-gooder life behind, but when demons target Liv (Lucy Griffiths, “True Blood”), the daughter of one of Constantine’s oldest friends, he’s reluctantly thrust back into the fray – and he’ll do whatever it takes to save her. Before long, it’s revealed that Liv’s “second sight” — an ability to see the worlds behind our world and predict supernatural occurrences — is a threat to a mysterious new evil that’s rising in the shadows. Now it’s not just Liv who needs protection; the angels are starting to get worried too. So, together, Constantine and Liv must use her power and his skills to travel the country, find the demons that threaten our world and send them back where they belong. After that, who knows… maybe there’s hope for him and his soul after all.

The cast also includes Lucy Griffiths, Harold Perrineau and Charles Halford. Writer Daniel Cerone (“The Mentalist,” “Dexter”) serves as executive producer with David S. Goyer (“Man of Steel,” “The Dark Knight Rises”). “Constantine” is produced from Bonanza Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television. The show is based upon characters published by DC Entertainment.
