According to Deadline, NBC has decided to halt production:

The cast and crew of the series were informed on Friday that the series will halt production after completing production on the initial 13-episode order. Constantine will remain in its 10 PM Friday time slot for the remainder of its run. […] It is not clear what NBC will air in the Friday 10 PM time period after Constantine‘s run is over, though previous slot occupantHannibal, which has been renewed for a third season, is considered a strong possibility.

Constantine is currently struggling to find an audience on Friday nights. According to reports, NBC Constantine averages a low 1.04 in the key demographic and only 3.5 million viewers.

Before you get upset, there still is a chance that NBC will not cancel Constantine.

The decision to cut the number of episodes comes after NBC’s Constantine featured a 38 percent increase over the previous week’s episode in the key demographic. In addition, it retained 85 percent of Grimm’s 18 to 49 audience. Both are ratings highs for the series since the show premiered in late October.

In addition, Constantine has been on fire in DVR viewings. NBC Constantine has had an increase of 81% in viewers up to 3 days after the episode has aired.

Rotten Tomatoes gives NBC Constantine a 70% positive rating calling “Constantine ’​s creepy atmosphere, high-stakes action, and splendid special effects combine with a welcome touch of humor to overcome narrative flaws and present a version of the title character that’s close to his comics counterpart.”
