After years of enjoying success on Netflix, the John Wick franchise is moving to a new streaming home. The Keanu Reeves-led action movie series has been one of the genre's most influential and acclaimed properties in the near decade since it launched, inspiring a wide variety of movies and spawning a series of sequels and spinoffs.
The franchise's first big screen spinoff, Ballerina, recently saw its release date delayed from June 2024 to a full year later in an effort to reshape the movie with additional photography. The John Wick franchise will be changing its streaming home to Peacock, as reported by ComicBook.com. The action series had previously made a home for itself on Netflix, where it frequently found its way into the streamer's Top 10 charts both globally and domestically.
All four John Wick movies are set to begin streaming on the NBCUniversal platform on March 31, one day after they leave Netflix. Interestingly, the John Wick movies' impending arrival on Peacock isn't the first time the franchise has made its way to the NBCUniversal streamer. The series' first spinoff, The Continental, was originally intended to run on the cable network Starz before shifting to its streaming-only release, with all three parts premiering across three weeks on the platform.
Peacock has been making strides in the streaming war by adding high-profile franchises like the Harry Potter movies, previously on WarnerMedia's Max. Recent additions of 2023's The Super Mario Bros. Movie and Oppenheimer have set major streaming records for Peacock, boosting its popularity. The addition of the John Wick movies to Peacock could attract new subscribers and secure the franchise's future on screen beyond Ballerina.
The John Wick franchise's move to Peacock is set to happen on March 31. Ballerina, a spinoff movie in the John Wick universe, features Ana de Armas in the lead role seeking revenge for her family's murder.
