The CW has ordered five to six episodes that consist of 10 minutes each. Additionally, the original "Constantine" is still available on CW Seed for streaming with 13 episodes.
According to a report by Hollywood Reporter, David Goyer, Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter will be the executive producers of the animated series on The CW's superhero lineup.
"Constantine" will join numerous lineups of DC properties on TV including "iZombie," "Gotham" and "Lucifer" from Fox, and "Preacher" from AMC. NBC is also releasing its first DC Comics, a comedy entitled "Powerless," which stars Vanessa Hudgens.
