Take a First Look at Peacock's 'John Wick' Spinoff 'The Continental'

Peacock has shared a first look at the upcoming John Wick spinoff series, The Continental.

Billed as a “three-part event,” the show will take a deep dive into the origin story of The Continental — the setting greatly featured in the John Wick universe as a hotel for assassins — as seen from the perspective of a young Winston Scott, the former MI6 who eventually becomes the owner of the hotel. “The four Wick films take place over a 3 month span. John is either chasing, or being chased. There has been no time to take a breath, to allow the audience to dig deeper into the world and its denizens. In our show, The Continental, we finally have space to explore these characters, how they became who they are, and how The Continental became the epicenter of this world. Combine that with introducing new characters that are as compelling as any in the John Wick universe,” a press release read. It further teased “[a]ction that’s crazy cool and inventive. Easter eggs that will excite the hardcore Wick fans” and “a vision of ‘70s New York that embodies the sexiness, edginess, and visceral style that the franchise is known for. This show will look/sound/smell cooler than any show out there.”

The show sill star Mel Gibson, Colin Woodell, Mishel Prada, Ben Robson, Hubert Point-Du Jour, Nhung Kate, Jessica Allain, Ayomide Adegun, Jeremy Bobb and Peter Greene, while Greg Coolidge, Kirk Ward, Shawn Simmons developed and wrote, as well as executive produced alongside Basil Iwanyk, Erica Lee, Albert Hughes, John Wick film director Chad Stahelski, Derek Kolstad, David Leitch, Paul Wernick, Rhett Reese and Marshall Persinger. Hughes helmed Part 1 and 3 while Charlotte Brandstrom directed Part 2.
