Tonight’s Constantine “A Feast of Friends” finds John visited by Gary Lester, an old friend wreaking havoc in Atlanta when he unleashes a dark force. John is once again thrown into the middle of a battle of good versus evil forcing him to decide how far he’s willing to go to win this fight.
Executive Producers David S. Goyer and Daniel Cerone took some time to chat about the seasons ever evolving landscape of characters, clear up whether or not Chas is actually immortal and drop a few goodies about the rest of Constantine’s first season.

His soul is damned to hell, he’s been locked up in a mental hospital and demons insist on possessing people to pay him a visit on here on Earth. Aw that’s just a typical day at the office for a seasoned demon hunter like John Constantine. Matt Ryan (No not the Atlanta Falcon’s football player.
