“	My name is John Constantine. I am the one who steps from the shadows, all trench coat and arrogance. I'll drive your demons away, kick 'em in the bollocks and spit on them when they're down, leaving only a nod and a wink and a wisecrack. I walk my path alone because, let's be honest... who would be crazy enough to walk it with me?	”
— John Constantine^[src]

Constantine is a television series based on the DC Comics character, John Constantine.

The series is developed by Daniel Cerone and David S. Goyer with the former serving as showrunner. The first and only season premiered on October 24, 2014, before being cancelled. The series concluded on February 13, 2015 with a total of 13 episodes.

John Constantine later reprised his role on Arrow and became a regular character on DC's Legends of Tomorrow. The series was retroactively established to take place in the Arrowverse with events being indirectly referenced by multiple characters.

Synopsis[edit | hide | hide all]

Based on the wildly popular comic book series Hellblazer from DC Comics, seasoned demon hunter and master of the occult John Constantine specializes in giving hell... hell. Armed with 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, 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.^[1]
