Here’s a little behind-the-scenes shake-up news regarding Constantine. The show hasn’t even premiered yet and one of the co-stars is on her way out.
Per The Hollywood Reporter, Lucy Griffiths – who is playing “Liv” on the show – is being written off. Her character will make way for another that “Hellblazer” readers should be familiar with.
The reason for the departure? Well, THR says it was a creative decision, so that’s what we’ll have to stick with. In the pilot episode, Constantine – played by Matt Ryan, meets Liv, a young woman who is marked for death by a demon.
The first episode airs on Friday, October 24th on NBC. Harold Perrineau and Charles Halford also star.
Based upon the characters from DC Comics and executive produced by Daniel Cerone (Dexter) and David S. Goyer (Man of Steel, The Dark Knight films), Constantine reflects the lore of the fan-favorite comic, combining noirish storytelling with the evolving mythology of John Constantine, a morally challenged character who doesnt come down on the side of either good or evil but ultimately might be the only thing defending us against the dark forces from beyond.
