A television series set in the “John Wick” universe is currently in development at Lionsgate Television, Variety has confirmed. Titled “John Wick: Under the High Table,” the new series will continue the story immediately following the events of “John Wick: Chapter 4.”
As of now, no network or streaming service is attached to the project, with Lionsgate actively shopping the series to potential buyers. The official logline reveals that the series will explore the fallout from John Wick’s departure from the High Table, introducing a mix of new characters aiming to establish their influence while some familiar faces remain loyal to the traditional order. The show promises to blend both new and established elements, propelling the Wick universe into a new era.
Keanu Reeves, who stars as the titular character, will serve as an executive producer for the series alongside Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee of Thunder Road. Chad Stahelski, who directed the “John Wick” films and has been instrumental in shaping the franchise, will also executive produce through his 87Eleven Entertainment banner and direct the pilot episode. Robert Levine, known for his work on “The Old Man” and “Black Sails,” is set to be the writer, showrunner, and executive producer for the series.
Lionsgate Television, which has been the home of all “John Wick” films, will produce the series. Stahelski’s involvement follows a January 2024 agreement with Lionsgate to oversee the expansion of the “John Wick” franchise across various media platforms.
This new project would mark the second television series set in the “John Wick” universe. Lionsgate Television previously produced “The Continental: From the World of John Wick,” a miniseries that served as a prequel to the film series. Originally slated for Starz, the show eventually premiered on Peacock in the fall of 2023.
The original “John Wick” film debuted in 2014, with the fourth installment released in 2023. A fifth film is currently in development, and a spinoff film titled “John Wick Presents: Ballerina,” starring Ana de Armas, is scheduled for theatrical release in 2025.
Deadline was the first to report on the development of this new sequel series.
