Sounds interesting I would watch it and man their will be four DC Comics adaptations in 2014 if Gotham, Constantine, and Flash all get picked up.

It seems like NBC is trying to shape itself into like a Fantasy/Sci-fi network with Grimm, Dracula, Revolution and now Constantine.

Yeah... just hope none are on at the same times! LOL. I think the only thing we know for sure is Gotham will probably be a 9pm show... Constantine, probably, too.

Flash could go at 8, though.

Grimm worked out really well for them, so it's not surprising they're trying for this... ohhh... Constantine the same night as Grimm, even at 10PM, would be amazing.

Not sure if Dracula is meant to run a long time though... and Revolution's ratings are still dipping... I'm hopeful because Revolution season 2 is such an improvement.

It depends NBC does have shows at 10pm so they could try to be darker and have Constantine on at 10pm.

If you want the real Constantine you have to have it after 9pm. That's why the Vertigo/Hellblazer Constantine comics were great.

If you want a watered down version as he is in the New 52 then it will be good but you won't be using him to his full potential.

Grimm at 9 and Constantine at 10 on Fridays would be amazing.

For at least a week or two the CW is also going to try its hand at a couple Sci-Fi offerings this year. Their version of the Will Smith & Son movie, with hip space teens moving back to a dangerous Earth. And something else. It's an explosion of Sci.

+ Defiance.

Cool to see more comic book adaptations but something like Hellblazer would be more suitable for HBO, AMC, Showtime or FX I think. On the other hand NBC did give us Hannibal so who knows, this might turn out good.

Perfect right there, although I wouldn't mind the pairing be on either Mondays or Thursdays instead of Friday which seems to be a very bad slot with shows that don't start with S.

I don't think we'll be getting the Hellblazer version Ex. Might be a bit risque for a new show they're wanting to put out. Maybe they could incorporate element's of it.

Not for NBC. Grimm is arguably one of NBC's most successful launches and it's done well on Fridays. I hate the notion that TV needs to give up on Fridays. The key is to put GOOD stuff there, and people will watch.

Monday and Tuesday, whatever they have at 10 would go on after The Voice, and I don't know that Constantine would really be compatible with that, lol.

Grimm was successful on Fridays and the only reason I started watching it was because it aired after Chuck during Chuck's final season.
