Prepare to be floored! The first teaser poster for the John Wick prequel miniseries The Continental has been released on Peacock’s Twitter account, giving a sneak peek of some rather bloody elevator buttons.
The button for the ninth floor is lit, perhaps hinting at a plot point or showcasing an important level?
The Continental is a three-part special event produced Peacock and Lionsgate as part of their recently signed multi-year deal. The limited series will explore the origin story and inner workings of the exclusive Continental Hotel, a centerpiece of the John Wick Universe, which serves as a refuge for assassins.

Told from the perspective of the hotel manager, a young Winston Scott (Colin Woodell, based on Ian McShane’s character in the films), the series sees the character dragged through 1975 New York to face a past he thought he’d left behind. In an attempt to seize control of the iconic hotel, which serves as a meeting point for the world’s most dangerous criminals, Winston charts a deadly course through the mysterious underworld of New York City.
Joining Woodell in the cast are Ayomide Adegun (as a young Charon based on Lance Reddick’s character); Peter Greene (based on the tight-lipped body disposal expert); Mel Gibson (as Cormac); Ben Robson (as Frankie); Hubert Point-Du Jour (as Miles); Jessica Allain (as Lou); Mishel Prada (as KD); and Nhung Kate (as Yen).
Greg Coolidge and Kirk Ward serve as writers and showrunners and executive produce alongside Albert Hughes, Thunder Road Pictures’ Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee; Chad Stahelski; Derek Kolstad; David Leitch; Shawn Simmons; Paul Wernick; Rhett Reese and Marshall Persinger. Hughes directs the first and third episodes, with Charlotte Brandstrom directing the second.
The Continental will premiere exclusively on Peacock in 2023.
