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:

  1. Character accuracy

Does John feel like Constantine in voice, behavior, and decisions?

Does Chas and Zed feel consistent with their versions?

  1. Tone

Does it feel like Hellblazer / Constantine in atmosphere, or does it drift into something else?

  1. World / occult logic

Do the rules of the Brujería / symbols / possession feel understandable and grounded?

  1. The Zed neighborhood sequence

Did it feel tense and escalating, or repetitive?

  1. Ending hook

Does it feel like a strong lead-in to episode 2?

Script (Google Drive – view only):

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.
