John Wick’s Future Begins With a New TV Series

What’s going to happen to the world of John Wick after the events of John Wick: Chapter 4? That answers is coming in a brand new TV series called John Wick: Under the High Table, produced by star Keanu Reeves and director Chad Stahelski.

Reeves won’t appear in the show but is reportedly hands-on with its creation, according to Deadline. Stahelski, who directed all four John Wick movies, will also direct the pilot. Most importantly, the show will not interfere with any potential stories for a rumored John Wick 5, next summer’s Ballerina starring Ana de Armas, or the Donnie Yen spinoff.

Written by Robert Levine (Black Sails, The Old Man), Under the High Table picks up after the events of Chapter 4 which saw John Wick’s actions throw the whole world of the High Table and secret assassins into disarray. The story follows characters new and old as they try to gain power and reestablish order.

Though a previous John Wick show, The Continental, was on Peacock, there’s no guarantee this show will join it there. Deadline reports it’s “being shopped in what is shaping up to become a competitive situation.”

As someone whose favorite part of the John Wick movies was the vast, fascinating world-building they did, this show sounds incredibly appealing. And if it also goes so far as to reset the universe in a way that makes it possible for Wick himself to rise from the ashes to burn it all down again? All the better.
