Constantine showrunner Daniel Cerone has again spoke out to deny rumours that the show has been axed.

In a statement to Comicbook.com, Cerone admitted that season two is "a long shot" - but insisted that no final decision had been made.

"I just received confirmation from the corporate offices at NBC," he said. "I was assured that Constantine has not been canceled and our pitch meeting to discuss a potential second season remains on the books.

"By the way, this is a pitch meeting involving the president of Warner Bros and and the entertainment heads of NBC. Nobody at this incredibly busy time of the development season has time to waste taking pointless meetings."

Cerone added that high costs could count against Constantine when it comes to NBC ordering more episodes.

"While we marginally improved a tough time slot for NBC, we're a very expensive show to produce," he said.

"A lot of NBC's decision making will not doubt hinge on their new pilots and how they feel those new shows would fare as a companion piece to Grimm, versus a second season of Constantine."

Last year, Cerone refuted claims that Constantine had been cancelled after NBC declined to order a full 22-episode season, leading fans to fear for the show's future.

The first season wrapped on NBC in February. In the UK, the series is exclusive to Amazon Prime Instant Video.
