Encouraging news for freshman NBC dramas Mysteries of Laura and Constantine. The network has ordered three extra scripts of each show. The script pickup for Laura comes after three episodes, for Constantine, it is being done ahead of the comic book drama’s debut later this month. Both series hail from Warner Bros. TV.
The Mysteries of Laura has showed excellent week-to-week retention. In its second episode in its regular Wednesday 8 PM slot, the cop dramedy starring Debra Messing drew a 1.5 in Live+Same Day, matching its rating in Week 1 and also matching the delivery of NBC’s 10 PM drama on the night, Chicago P.D.
Meanwhile, Constantine, based on the DC comic, has been tracking very well, with one of the highest awareness levels for a new series this season. The series joins NBC’s Friday genre block on Oct. 24.

Yay Constantine! I only wish they'd ordered backup scripts for Marry Me as well, don't really give a damn about MoL but at least people there are getting paychecks. Crossing my fingers week two of Constantine retains most of its premiere audience and that NBC will announce a full pickup pretty quickly. Even if it has its problems I loved the original version of the pilot, and it will finally give me something to look forward to on Friday nights (or Saturday mornings).
ReplyDeleteAwesome for Constantine! I have high hopes for this show.
ReplyDeleteFor a second I've thought they're ordering the additional 9 episodes, but this is cool news too.
ReplyDeleteOh they must be very confident in Constantine or they don't know which will replace it if its run end...
