'John Wick' fans can check into the prequel series on Peacock in late-September.
After an incredible quartet of movies , the John Wick franchise is venturing into new territory with The Continental: From the World of John Wick. Taking place decades before the events of the original film, The Continental will be the IP's first spin-off and television series, and is expected to tell the story of how Ian McShane's beloved manager Winston became the concierge of the titular hotel, which doubles as a safe haven for assassins, criminals, and more.
The featurette also gives a fairly good idea of what the tone of the show will be, which is seemingly slightly lighter and more comedic. While the John Wick films have always had elements of humor, the featurette shows that there will be a slightly larger emphasis on levity. The character of Lemmy in particular looks to be something of a comic relief figure.
Producer Marshall Persinger confirmed that the character of Frankie is Winston's brother, and has been made a target of Cormac and the High Table. Also, according to action director Larnell Stovall, the impressive action sequence was filmed in a single day, and actor Ben Robson performed all the stunts.
The third clip is another tense action sequence, where Winston tries to evade two assassins named Hansel and Gretel . Winston is barely able to escape the hotel room he's confronted in but is then stopped by a character named Mrs. Davenport , who appears to be a law enforcement officer. Her confrontation with Winston gives Hansel enough time to catch up to them. After killing a bellboy and wounding Davenport, Hansel and Gretel escape with Winston in their custody.
