Although the decision was of the new CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery David Zaslav, HBO Max has been facing the heat as well for allegedly supporting racism by canceling the Constantine series reboot. The decision came when Keanu Reeves announced his return for the Constantine (2005) sequel which the hero had originally starred in.
There have been no additional details regarding the release date of the series except the studio behind which is none other than Warner Bros. Based on previous series releases, the series will likely hit the digital shelves on HBO Max in due time.
