Peacock has revealed the official release date for The Continental: From the World of John Wick three-part event series.
Audiences at San Diego Comic-Con got an exclusive first look at The Continental: From the World of John Wick, but we’ll have to settle for the official release date. The upcoming three-part event series will be streaming on Peacock and follows a young Winston Scott as he’s dragged into the hell-scape of 1970s New York City to face a past he thought he’d left behind. The streaming service revealed that the official release date for The Continental is just two short months away.
The Continental: From the World of John Wick will premiere on Peacock on September 22nd, followed by the release of Night 2 on September 29th and Night 3 on October 6th.
“The three-part event will explore the origin behind the iconic hotel-for-assassins centerpiece of the John Wick universe through the eyes and actions of a young Winston Scott, as he’s dragged into the Hell-scape of 1970’s New York City to face a past he thought he’d left behind,” reads the official synopsis for The Continental. “Winston charts a deadly course through the hotel’s mysterious underworld in a harrowing attempt to seize the hotel where he will eventually take his future throne.“
Colin Woodell stars as Winston Scott, with Ayomide Adegun as Charon, Mishel Prada as KD, Jeremy Bobb as Mayhew, Ben Robson as Frankie, Nhung Kate as Yen, Jessica Allain as Lou, Hubert Point-Du Jour as Miles, and Mel Gibson as Cormac, the current manager at The Continental Hotel. Ruthless, brutal, yet capable of charm, Cormac has a history with Winston and Frankie Scott, and when Frankie steals something of immense value to Cormac’s superiors, Cormac drags Winston back into the criminal underworld. We’ll follow Cormac as his desperation mounts and his lunacy and anger boil over.
In addition to The Continental, there’s another John Wick spin-off on the way with Ballerina, which will star Ana de Armas as a young woman with killer skills who sets out to get revenge when hitmen kill her family. Reeves will appear in the spin-off among other John Wick supporting characters. After the enormous success of John Wick: Chapter 4, Lionsgate is in early development on a fifth chapter as well.
