Hey, all you John Wick fans! We’ve got some exciting news for you. Lionsgate has unveiled plans for a sequel series to the blockbuster John Wick franchise – John Wick: The High Table. Let’s dive into what the new series has in store for us!
Keanu Reeves Rides Again – As Producer
Even though he is not returning in front of the camera, Keanu Reeves is not completely saying goodbye to the franchise. He is as connected with this project as the High Table is to the John Wick universe. He will be an executive producer for the series. Our favorite action hero wants fans to know that even though he’s working behind the scenes, the series will maintain the same quality as previous flicks.
From the Movie Screen to TV
Chad Stahelski, who gave us the thrilling John Wick movies, will direct the pilot episode of the sequel series. He’s also looking to shop the series around, which means it just might start a bidding war. So, gear up for a ride into the dark world of assassins!
Writing the Dark World
Robert Levine, who you may know from The Old Man, is the one penning the series. He’s putting us directly into the action that follows the end of John Wick: Chapter 4. Remember how our beloved Baba Yaga left the High Table in chaos? Well, the story now centers around members of the criminal underworld looking to take over the assassin network. Levine aims to go full throttle and “combine new and old and thrust the Wick universe into a new age.”
But that’s not all! There will be new faces and old friends joining the series. Who knows what surprise is waiting just around the next dark corner of this unforgiving world?
Stahelski and Reeves Behind the Scenes
Chad Stahelski is producing John Wick: The High Table. Along with him, Levine too is wearing dual hats of a writer and an executive producer. Our very own Keanu Reeves and the duo from Thunder Road’s – Erica Lee and Basil Iwanyk – are joining forces on this project. Consider it as the working group behind the expansion of the John Wick universe.
The Expansion of John Wick Universe
If you thought, that was all, there’s more! Along with John Wick: The High Table, Lionsgate is also prepping for a feature-length spinoff, Ballerina. Ana de Armas will be sharing the screen with Keanu Reeves in this movie.
Moreover, another film project called Caine, featuring Donnie Yen, is underway with Robert Askins, a veteran from The Umbrella Academy, taking charge of the screenplay. Looks like the John Wick universe is only getting bigger and wild!
