"My Experience Was…Odd": John Wick Spinoff Producer Explains How Show Went From 10 Episodes To 3 Movies

A producer of the John Wick spinoff The Continental explains how the show went from 10 episodes to 3 movies. Keanu Reeves’ Baba Yaga became a cult sensation when the original film released in 2014, then evolved into a genuine worldwide movie phenomenon through a trio of sequels. Now thanks to a currently-streaming Peacock spinoff series, the world invented through Chad Stahelski’s quartet of action-packed films has received a further expansion, taking audiences back in time to the 1970s and the early days of Ian McShane’s mysterious hotel proprietor Winston Scott. Though the show does succeed in expanding the lore of its universe, the fact that it lasts for just three extended episodes may seem curious in a world where spinoff shows routinely get much longer runs.
