“Constantine” will introduce another member of John’s Newcastle gang on Friday, in the first of a two-part episode that continues in January.
“In Episodes 8 and 9, we’re introduced to Anne Marie, who’s from the Newcastle crew,” Matt Ryan told reporters on the show’s Atlanta set last month. “We get another kind of side of John’s relationships with that.”
Series star Matt, who plays John, said Friday’s episode will have a slightly modified version of Anne Marie, than the woman of the “Hellblazer” comics.

“You get to kind of learn more about Newcastle and what happened there,” he said. “They’ve changed Anne Marie slightly from the comics. Her and John had a thing when they were younger and they’ve not made her kind of the 40-year-old nun who always had a crush on him, but actually, there’s something that did go on there. But what happens and what John has to do is just like, when I read it… I was like, ‘That’s so good!’ and it was just so much fun to play. It was the hardest episode out of all of them, in terms of what I had to go through.
“We shoot in eight, nine days and I was kind of like, ‘Wow, this is really ambitious for this amount of time, but it’s pretty cool man,” he added.

Matt said he loved the mix of content in the two-parter.
“They’re my favorite episodes so far ’cause they got the right balance of it being really dark and humorous at the same time,” he said.
“Constantine” airs Friday at 10 PM ET/PT on NBC.
