Constantine TV Series Trailer Released Online

NBC have quietly released the first trailer for Constantine on their website, bringing the DC/Vertigo supernatural detective and con man to the small screen in a big way. The series, which stars Matt Ryan, Harold Perrineau and Lucy Griffiths, can be seen in a more than three-minute sneak preview embedded below. The trailer drop comes on the heels of an announcement that the series will air back to back with Grimm on Friday nights at 10 p.m. ET/PT and the release of some new promo images. You can see the series' official description below the trailer, and check back later for a more in-depth look at the trailer. CONSTANTINE – Based on the wildly popular DC Comics series "Hellblazer," 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 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.
