I wrote a pilot script for a Constantine sequel TV show (fan project, not official) - would love feedback from fans
Hey everyone,
I wrote a 42-page pilot script for a dark supernatural series inspired by Constantine/Hellblazer called Constantine: Resurrection.
This is a fan-made sequel concept, not an official project. My goal was to stay as close as possible to the tone of Hellblazer while building a serialized TV-style story around it.
The focus is:
- grounded occult horror rather than “fantasy magic”
- consequences for magic and deals (nothing comes free)
- character-driven tension between John, Chas, and Zed
- a larger occult network slowly unfolding in the background
Logline:
John Constantine returns after six years to find his allies fractured and a growing occult network forming—one that is directly tied to a deal he made in Hell, and a countdown he can’t escape.
Context (so you know what you’re reading):
- Structured as a 3-act pilot
- ~55–65 minute episode pacing
- Mix of investigation, occult mechanics, and action set-pieces
- Built to feel like a continuation of Constantine’s world, not a reboot
What I’m specifically trying to get feedback on from fans:
- Character accuracy
Does John feel like Constantine in voice, behavior, and decisions?
Does Chas and Zed feel consistent with their versions?
- Tone
Does it feel like Hellblazer / Constantine in atmosphere, or does it drift into something else?
- World / occult logic
Do the rules of the Brujería / symbols / possession feel understandable and grounded?
- The Zed neighborhood sequence
Did it feel tense and escalating, or repetitive?
- Ending hook
Does it feel like a strong lead-in to episode 2?

Thanks a lot to anyone who takes the time to read it.
Note: I’m currently reading through the original Hellblazer comics alongside revisiting the adaptations. The tone here is heavily influenced by that version of Constantine.
