The output of the first John Wick we were all caught short in 2014. And strong is to note that, 4 years later, the film that almost started a genre all by itself.

Yes, because the first John Wick was a double return : the level of action to the former, well and barns, and especially well-filmed (not Jason Bourne ), but especially the return of Keanu Reeves, we were missing a lot. A B-series in the noble sense of the term that has so marked the spirits that it was the starting point of a trilogy and, now, we speak of the “movies to John Wick“. This is a form of consecration.

In addition to John Wick 3 that prepares Chad Stahelshi and which should be released on our screens the may 17, 2019, we learn via a press release from the channel Starz, as its boss Chris Albrecht has confirmed that a tv series derived from the film would be beautiful and well-produced and broadcast over the network. The entire team of the film, Keanu Reeves included, will be the producer and Chad Stahelski should make the driver.

That said, it must not exactly expect to see John Wick himself in the series as the project is called The Continental, and that it will be held in the hotel reserved for killers. We will follow new characters and we can finally find out more about this secret organization, in a Los Angeles that we are promised hyper-realistic.

On the downside, the project is not yet dated, even if logic would dictate that it would be broadcast around the release of John WIck 3, i.e. to mid-2019. And we cross our fingers for this to be good.
