The world of John Wick is expanding! No, a fifth film hasn’t been given a release date yet, but a new action series, John Wick: Under the High Table, is in the works from Keanu Reeves and franchise director Chad Stahelski.
Reeves and Stahelski will exec-producer John Wick: Under the High Table, with the latter also set to direct the pilot episode. Penned by showrunner Robert Levine (The Old Man), the story picks up immediately after events in John Wick: Chapter 4. Per the report, “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.”
Reeves is said to be “very hands-on” with the project, but at this point, he has no acting commitment. The series is said to “combine new and old and thrust the Wick universe into a new age,” which sounds like a few familiar faces will show up.
The world of John Wick has already made its mark with Peacock’s The Continental: From the World of John Wick prequel series. Other projects in this universe are the Ana de Armas-led film Ballerina, plus a spinoff featuring Donnie Yen’s character, Caine. [Deadline]
