A TV series followup to the “John Wick” films is currently in development at Lionsgate Television, Variety has confirmed.
No network or streaming service is attached, with Lionsgate currently shopping the project. The series, titled “John Wick: Under the High Table,” would pick up immediately after the events of “John Wick: Chapter 4.”
The official logline states, “John Wick has left the world of the High Table in a tenuous position and a collection of new characters will look to make a name for themselves while some of the franchise stalwart characters remain committed to the old-world order. The series will combine new and old and thrust the Wick universe into a new age.”
Keanu Reeves will executive produce the series along with Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee of Thunder Road. Chad Stahelski will executive produce via 87Eleven Entertainment and direct the pilot. Robert Levine (“The Old Man,” “Black Sails”) will serve as writer, showrunner, and executive producer on the series. Lionsgate Television will produce, with Lionsgate having released all of the “John Wick” films to date. Stahelski signed a deal with Lionsgate back in January to oversee the expansion of the “John Wick” franchise across all media.
Should the project find a home, it would be the second TV series set in the world of “John Wick.” Lionsgate TV previously produced the miniseries “The Continental: From the World of John Wick,” which served as a prequel to the events of the films. Originally set up at Starz, the show ended up airing on Peacock in fall 2023.
The first “John Wick” film was released in 2014, while the fourth was released in 2023. A fifth film is in development, while the spinoff film “John Wick Presents: Ballerina” starring Ana de Armas is due to be released in theaters in 2025.
Deadline first reported the sequel series was in development.
