How The Continental Show Connects To The John Wick Movies

The Continental takes place in the universe of John Wick, raising the question of how it connects to the original films and the story of Keanu Reeves’ now-iconic hitman. The Continental series was first announced in 2017 after Chad Stahelski – director of all four John Wick movies – and writer Derek Kolstad began thinking of ways to expand the universe. The show was officially announced in 2018, with Stahelski and Kolstad both agreeing the expansion of John Wick would be best told in long-form, TV format.
