Shortly after sharing the first image from upcoming John Wick prequel miniseries The Continental, Peacock has dropped the first official teaser video showcasing bloody, and funky, 1970s assassin shenanigans.

The three-part event will explore the origin story behind the iconic hotel-for-assassins centerpiece of the John Wick universe through the eyes of a young Winston Scott (Colin Woodell, based on Ian McShane’s character in the films) as he faces a past he thought he’d left behind. Winston charts a deadly course through the hotel’s mysterious underworld in a harrowing attempt to seize the hotel where he will eventually take his future throne.

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).
