[Rumor] WB Reportedly Developing New “Constantine” Series, With Matt Ryan in Mind to Star
After just one season, NBC pulled the plug on the Matt Ryan-starring “Constantine” back in 2015, but Ryan’s portrayal of John Constantine proved so popular that the end of the series sure didn’t mean he was done playing the character. Subsequently, he voiced the character for a CW Seed animated series, and also reprised the role on “Legends of Tomorrow.”
But could Ryan’s Constantine be returning with another live-action series entirely his own? We Got This Covered reports today that Warner Bros. is developing what their sources tell them is a “full-blooded new Constantine show,” and they add that WB wants Matt Ryan to star.
The site goes on to speculate that if “Constantine” is revived, it could find a home on either the DC Universe streaming service or on The CW as part of their “Arrowverse.”
We’ll let you know if we hear anything further on this one.
From Skybound Comics and creators Chip Zdarsky and Ramón K Pérez, the horror comic book Stillwater is getting a small screen adaptation at Prime Video, Deadline reports.
Greg Berlanti (You, The Flight Attendant) and Carly Wray (Watchmen, Westworld) are leading the charge on the upcoming horror-drama series from Amazon MGM Studios.
Stillwater has received an eight-episode series order for Prime Video. The series comes from Warner Bros. Television, Berlanti Productions and Skybound Entertainment.
Deadline details, “Co-written by Berlanti and Wray, Stillwater is a mind-bending horror thriller that focuses on ex-con Daniel West. When Daniel receives a mysterious letter promising answers about his past and a substantial inheritance in the small town of Stillwater, he discovers a community where nothing ever ages, no one ever dies, and nobody ever gets out.”
“We’re thrilled to dive into Stillwater because it’s far beyond the usual immortality story,” Berlanti and Wray said in a statement shared by Deadline. “It’s a horror show about a community that has to decide what forever is worth, and what they’re willing to do to protect it. Chip Zdarsky & Ramón K Pérez created an extraordinary world that’s both terrifying and deeply human, and we’re so grateful to our partners at Amazon, WBTV, and Skybound for trusting us to bring such a beloved title to life. We couldn’t be more excited for fans, and everyone discovering this story for the first time, to meet Daniel West and all the eerie townsfolk lying in wait for him.”
“Stillwater is a truly original series that blends horror, mystery, and psychological suspense into something entirely unexpected,” said Peter Friedlander, Head of Global Television, Amazon MGM Studios. “Greg Berlanti, Carly Wray, and the incredible teams at WBTV and Skybound have created a world unlike anything audiences have seen before—one that’s unsettling, emotionally rich, and impossible to look away from. We’re thrilled to bring this remarkable story to Prime Video audiences around the world.”
