NBC ‘Constantine’ ratings continue to drop
After NBC stopped production on Constantine, rumors circulated that the TV studio was going to cancel the Friday drama series. NBC’s ‘Constantine’ is still struggling to find an audience. According to reports, ratings for Constantine have dropped 38% since the second episode.
Back for a new year and in a new time slot, the demon hunting detective series retuned for the remaining 5-episodes of its 13-episode run. Unfortunately, the ratings sprits were not evoked for Constantine (0.8/3) at 8 PM last night. Moved to a potential more advantageous earlier slot, the series based on the acclaimed DC Comic was down 20% from the near high of its last original at 10 PM on December 12. Fourth among the Big 4 in the new slot, that’s a tie for the worst the struggling show has done since it debuted on October 24. Bloodied in the ratings as it was on last night’s “Saints Of Last Resorts Pt. 2” episode, Constantine also fell a hard 38% from what a new Dateline pulled in the 8 PM time slot back on December 12. With the slot full of Grimm repeats the past few weeks, last night’s Constantine was at least up 14% from the 2-hour episode of the procedural fantasy drama.
The Atlanta filmed drama ‘Constantine’ is based on the Hellblazer graphic novels. The series centers on master of the occult John Constantine, who is struggling with his faith and is haunted by the sins he committed in the past. But, he put into the role of defending humanity from the forces of darkness.
