The upcoming John Wick event series, a three-part movie from director and executive producer Albert Hughes, finally has an air date.
The Continental: From the World of John Wick will premiere on Sept. 22. That will follow with night two airing Sept. 29 and night three airing Oct. 6.
The announcement was made during Peacock’s panel for the series at San Diego Comic-Con.
Hughes was on stage along with executive producer Marshall Persinger and the creative team, including action director Larnell Stovall, production designer Drew Boughton and editor Ron Rosen.
A prequel to the massively popular action movie franchise will explore the origin behind the iconic hotel-for-assassins at the center of the John Wick universe and seen through the eyes and actions of a young man named Winston Scott, as he’s dragged into the Hellscape of 1970s New York City to face a past he thought he’d left behind.
Scott is a key figure in the Wick movies, acting as the manager of the hotel and played by Ian McShane. Colin Woodell plays young Scott in the series, whose cast also includes Mel Gibson, Michel Prada, Ben Robson, Jessica Allain, among others.
