Actor Keanu Reeves, known for his portrayal of the iconic character John Wick, is set to executive produce a new sequel series titled 'John Wick: Under the High Table.' The series, in development at Lionsgate Television, will pick up right after the events of the upcoming film 'John Wick Presents: Ballerina' in 2025.
The premise of the series revolves around John Wick's departure from the world of the High Table, leaving it in a precarious state. A mix of new and familiar characters will navigate the shifting dynamics of power, with some embracing change while others cling to tradition. This new chapter aims to blend the old and the new, propelling the Wick universe into uncharted territory.
The John Wick franchise, which began in 2014 with the release of the first film, has since seen the success of three sequels: 'Chapter 2' in 2017, 'Chapter 3 - Parabellum' in 2019, and the upcoming 'Chapter 4' in 2023. Additionally, a three-episode prequel titled 'The Continental: From the World of John Wick' streamed on Peacock in 2023, expanding the lore of the series.
Robert Levine, known for his work on 'The Old Man' and 'Black Sails,' will take on the roles of writer, showrunner, and executive producer for 'John Wick: Under the High Table.' Alongside Reeves, director Chad Stahelski, who has helmed all four John Wick films, is set to direct the pilot episode of the series.
As of now, details such as casting, network, and episode count for the first season are yet to be announced. The expansion of the John Wick universe into television marks an exciting new chapter for fans of the action-packed franchise.
With the announcement of 'John Wick: Under the High Table,' the franchise continues to captivate audiences with its adrenaline-fueled storytelling and intricate world-building, promising to deliver more thrills and surprises in the future.
