In the live-action series that was developed by NBC in 2014, however, Constantine was a British exorcist who spends his days hunting paranormal beings. The show was canceled in May 2015 due to low ratings. After its cancelation, Matt Ryan reprised the role in a guest appearance in an episode of The CW series "Arrow."

The CW has resurrected the show to become an online animated series on CW Seed. Matt Ryan will also reprise the role to voice the lead character. The CW has ordered five to six episodes that consist of 10 minutes each. Additionally, the original "Constantine" is still available on CW Seed for streaming with 13 episodes.

According to a report by Hollywood Reporter, David Goyer, Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter will be the executive producers of the animated series on The CW's superhero lineup.
