The series of John Wick films starring Keanu Reeves has been called by critics a renaissance of the action movie genre. And Lionsgate, in the wake of its success, decided to turn them into a full-fledged franchise and is now preparing a television project.

According to Variety, Lionsgate Television has started developing a TV series based on this movie universe. Currently, no television network or streaming service is associated with the upcoming show. The working title of the series is “John Wick: Under the High Table”. Its events will take place immediately after the events of the fourth movie.

The official logline says that John Wick will leave the council of criminal authorities called the High Table in a precarious position. New characters will try to make a name for themselves here. The series will combine the new and the old and bring Vic’s universe into a new era, the authors promise.

It is not yet known whether Reeves will appear in the upcoming series, but he will work on it as an executive producer. Chad Stahelski, the director of the main series, will also join the production team. Robert Levine (The Old Man, Black Sails) will serve as a writer and showrunner. Lionsgate Television will produce the series, as Lionsgate has produced all the John Wick films to date. Stahelski signed with Lionsgate back in January to oversee the expansion of the John Wick franchise across all media.

If “John Wick: Under the High Table” will be the second TV series to be produced in the world of penny stocks. Lionsgate TV previously released the mini-series Continental, which was a prequel to the events of the films. Originally created for the Starz platform, the project was eventually released on Peacock in the fall of 2023.
