Exciting: JOHN WICK TV show in the works, not tied to The Continental

Fans of the John Wick franchise will be excited to hear that Lionsgate has announced plans for a new television series set in the action-packed universe. Details on the project are still sparse, but this development is separate from the previously aired prequel, The Continental. The latter explored the backstory of the hotel that serves as neutral ground for the world's assassins but received lukewarm responses from audience and critics alike, even failing to win over Ian McShane, who portrayed the hotel's proprietor in the films. Despite the absence of clear information about Keanu Reeves' involvement or specific plotlines, anticipation is high for more content in the gritty world of John Wick. Alongside, the spin-off Ballerina is also anticipated but its release has been pushed to 2025.

Currently, there is no confirmation if Keanu Reeves will star in the newly announced John Wick TV series. The details concerning the cast and specific roles are yet to be revealed.

The John Wick series, starring Keanu Reeves, began in 2014 and quickly became a cult hit due to its intense action sequences, stylish cinematography, and the intriguing underworld it depicted. Centred around a retired hitman seeking vengeance, the franchise has since expanded with three sequels, contributing to a resurgence in action-thriller films that focus on practical fight scenes and elaborate stunt work. With its focus on the unique criminal underworld, including the Continental Hotel, a neutral zone for assassins, the series has gained a dedicated fan base eager for expansions of the story world.
