Hello John Wick fans! Hold on to your seats because we’ve got some gripping news. Lionsgate has just spilled the beans about a sequel series to the super-hit John Wick franchise – John Wick: The High Table. Let’s delve into what this forthcoming series has in store!
The Keanu Reeves Twist
Our beloved Keanu Reeves might not be the one busting moves on screen, but he isn’t completely bowing out. He’s as integral to The High Table project as the High Table itself is to the John Wick world. He’ll be wearing the hat of an executive producer for the series. So, rest assured, the series will uphold the top-notch standards set by its predecessors, even with our favorite action hero working off-camera.
From Cinema to Television
Chad Stahelski, the brains behind the electrifying John Wick movies, is directing the pilot episode of this exciting sequel series. He’s also keen on getting the best deal for the series, which could spark off a bidding war. Better strap in for a thrilling journey into the perilous world of professional killers!
Scribing the Sinister World
The task of translating this action-packed universe into words falls on Robert Levine. Known from The Old Man, he’s scripting a narrative that takes off from where John Wick: Chapter 4 left us. The plot revolves around the villains vying for control over the chaotic assassin network left behind by John Wick. Levine has ambitious plans to merge the old with the new and drive the Wick universe into uncharted territories.
Expect new talents and familiar faces in the series. Who knows what surprises lurk in the shadowy corners of this unforgiving world?
Stahelski and Reeves Unleashed Behind the Scenes
Apart from directing, Stahelski is also producing John Wick: The High Table. Levine is pulling double duty as the writer and an executive producer. Joining this stalwart team is Reeves himself, and Thunder Road’s Erica Lee and Basil Iwanyk. This power-packed team is working tirelessly to broaden the horizons of the John Wick universe.
Bigger and Bolder John Wick Universe
And there’s more! Besides John Wick: The High Table, Lionsgate is prepping for another full-length spinoff, Ballerina. The film will feature Ana de Armas sharing screen space with Keanu Reeves.
Additionally, a film project christened Caine, featuring Donnie Yen, is in the pipeline. The screenplay for this venture is being written by Robert Askins, a veteran from The Umbrella Academy. Clearly, the John Wick universe is expanding at a rapid pace!
