Winston & Charon’s Origins Before The John Wick Movies Explained

The Continental: From the World of John Wick is a prequel to the John Wick movies, and the series reveals Winston and Charon’s origins. The new series, which consists of three 90-minute episodes, is set 40 years before the first John Wick film, as The Continental takes place in the 1970s and follows Winston as he becomes the iconic hotel’s manager. In the John Wick film franchise, Winston (Ian McShane) is the hotel manager and Charon (Lance Reddick) is the hotel’s concierge and Winston’s closest confidant. One of the most endearing parts of the John Wick franchise is Winston and Charon’s relationship, which became more prominent with each consecutive release.
