Peacock has unveiled three new posters teasing its upcoming John Wick prequel series The Continental. The three-episode event series follows a young version of fan-favorite character Winston Scott, played by Ian McShane in the John Wick films. Colin Woodell is taking on the role of Winston for The Continental.
Peacock’s release of the posters comes hot on the heels of the debut of John Wick: Chapter 4, which has already made over $300 million globally. The film marked the return of Keanu Reeves as the titular character and has been well-received by both critics and audiences alike.
Fans of the John Wick franchise are looking forward to seeing The Continental bring the same level of action and intensity that made the films so popular. The posters themselves give little away in terms of plot or tone, instead opting to focus on stylized imagery.
In addition to Colin Woodell, The Continental also boasts a star-studded cast including Mel Gibson, Hubert Point-Du, Jessica Allain, Mishel Prada, Nhung Kate, Ben Robson, Peter Greene, Ayomide Adegun, Jeremy Bobb, Katie McGrath, Ray McKinnon, Adam Shapiro, Mark Musashi, and Marina Mazepa.
The people behind the John Wick prequel series
The Continental was written by a team of writers consisting of Greg Coolidge, Kirk Ward, Shawn Simmons and Ken Kristensen, with Albert Hughes and Charlotte Brändström directing the three episodes.. The series is produced by Coolidge, Ward, Basil Iwanyk, Albert Hughes, Derek Kolstad, Chad Stahelski, and David Leitch.
Peacock’s decision to release the posters after the success of John Wick: Chapter 4 is a savvy move, capitalizing on the buzz surrounding the franchise and ensuring that fans remain excited for what’s to come. With the release of The Continental still some time away, it’s likely that more teasers and promotional material will be released in the coming months.
The Continental is expected to hit Peacock in September 2023. Stay tuned for the latest news regarding the John Wick series and make sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel for more content!
