NBC Has Canceled Five Shows

Hope you weren't too attached to NBC's new shows Constantine, State of Affairs, Marry Me, and One Big Happy, because they have been canceled, along with About a Boy.

Constantine, based on DC Comics' Hellblazer, starred Matt Ryan as a tortured soul tasked with saving humanity. The original run, which was only 13 episodes, concluded in February. The show originally aired on Fox, and Warner Bros. is expected to shop the series elsewhere. It's not completely infeasible that it could land online. After all, The Mindy Project may be heading to Hulu. Having said that, Constantine didn't have great ratings to begin with. Despite having the star power of Katherine Heigl and Alfre Woodard, State of Affairs lost nearly half its audience by the time its finale aired in February.

Meanwhile, freshman comedy Marry Me failed to make an impact on audiences as well. It was created by Happy Endings' David Caspe and starred his real-life wife, Casey Wilson, opposite Ken Marino. About a Boy seemed so promising, but despite positive reviews, the Jason Katims comedy never found its footing. Poor One Big Happy only got six episodes before it was canceled. Stay tuned and stay up to date with all the latest cancellations and renewals.
