Deadline

The John Wick franchise is heading for the small screen. Starz and Lionsgate are teaming to develop The Continental, a television series adaptation of the highly successful Lionsgate film franchise. The project was announced (Friday) during Starz’s portion of the TCA winter press tour.

The Continental will be set in the John Wick universe, focusing on the inner workings of the exclusive Continental Hotel which serves as a refuge for assassins.

Writer/producer Chris Collins (Sons of Anarchy, The Wire, The Man in the High Castle) will write the series and serve as showrunner.

Chad Stahelski (John Wick co-director and John Wick: Chapter 2 director) will direct the premiere episode

Keanu Reeves to appear at some point

Sounds like a good idea. I really like the movies and The Continental is an interesting part of the Wickverse that's worth exploring.

So...not Christopher Walken?

I'm okay with the idea of a television show, but my preference would be for the third film (supposedly the end of a trilogy) be released first.
