The John Wick prequel series is set to launch in 2023, on the NBC subscription service, Peacock. The Continental<\/em>, a three-part series set in the Continental Hotel, was originally set to launch on Starz. Peacock has since acquired the series along with the rights to the John Wick trilogy.<\/p>\n The Continental<\/em> is an origin story for the hotel, which is a secret refuge for assassins that serves as a setting throughout the John Wick movies. The Continental Hotel is neutral territory, which makes it a natural site for meetings and parlays between deadly agents of the underworld.<\/p>\n The story is told from the perspective of Winston Scott, portrayed by Colin Woodell (The Purge<\/em>)<\/em> , as he arrives in New York City to take up his position as the Continental’s new manager. The show takes place in 1975, so this is a much younger version of the character in the movies played by Ian McShane in the films. Younger versions of Charon and Charlie, portrayed by Ayomide Adegun (The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes)<\/em> and Peter Greene (Pulp Fiction)<\/em>, are also part of the ensemble. There’s also a new cast of characters, played by Ben Robson, Hubert Point-Du Jour, Jessica Allain (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre<\/em>), Mishel Prada (Fear the Walking Dead<\/em>) and Nhung Kate. Mel Gibson has also been cast on the show, despite the actor having an infamous past of both accusations of domestic violence, as well as a history of using anti-Semitic, racist, homophobic, and misogynistic language.<\/p>\n
