NBC cancels Atlanta-based 'Constantine'
By RODNEY HO/ rho@ajc.com, originally filed Sunday May 10, 2015
Three broadcast network shows shot in metro Atlanta have now been cancelled: ABC's "Resurrection," Fox's "The Red Band Society" and now DC comic book drama "Constantine" on NBC.
The show starring Matt Ryan (no, not the Falcons quarterback) lasted just one season and was given only 13 episodes. Viewership wasn't that bad for a Friday night: around 5 million viewers and a respectable 1.4 18-49 rating (DVR usage included.)
But it's not entirely dead yet. Warner Bros., the production company, is shopping it elsewhere, according to Deadline.com.
"Constantine" was not just shot here but also based in Atlanta.
