El Rey Network Got Nerdy: ‘Constantine,’ ‘Almost Human,’ and More Airing in 2016

We’re a bit late because the press release got buried in my email, but El Rey Network just locked down a deal with Warner Bros. and will begin airing reruns of cult TV shows making their basic cable debut for the first time. Among them? Constantine, Almost Human, Mortal Kombat: Conquest, and both iterations of the sci-fi series V.

El Rey just got hella nerdy.

“We are proud to have these extremely popular titles make their off network cable debuts on El Rey Network,” said El Rey Network founder and chairman Robert Rodriguez in the press release. “This is the kind of distinctive, action packed content that viewers have come to expect on our air and these franchises will be the perfect compliment to our existing line-up of iconic and thrilling originals and acquisitions.”

Uh. Yuh-up. Constantine and Almost Human begin airing on Nov. 3 and Nov. 9 respectively, while the rest of the acquired shows will air sometime in 2015 and 2016. Check out the full list of shows with the press release’s description (Almost Human strangely leaves out the fact that it starred Karl Urban) being added to El Rey’s rotation.

Constantine (Begins Nov. 3, airs Tuesdays at 8pm ET)

Almost Human (Begins Nov. 9, airs Mondays at 8pm ET)

Human Target

Mortal Kombat: Conquest

Freddy’s Nightmares

V: Miniseries and V: The Series (2009 remake)

The Twilight Zone (2002 remake)

Night Visions

Yeah, that it’s the remake of The Twilight Zone and not the original is lame, but it’s dope that El Rey got Constantine. It’s the next best thing to happen to the show aside from a total revival. We’ve got his one Arrow appearance to look forward to, and without any foreseeable Netflix availability, a regular spot on El Rey is still a blessing. Almost Human too, which I was totally into until Fox pulled the plug.

So, are you excited as we are for the new shows coming to El Rey? Let us know!
