We have a new trailer and official release date for “John Wick” prequel / spinoff series “The Continental.” Originally developed for a cable network, Peacock swooped in and nabbed the 3-part limited series.
“The Continental” will serve as an origin story for the iconic hotel-for-assassins within the “John Wick” universe. The story is being told through the eyes of a young Winston Scott (Colin Woodell), who is dragged into the dark underbelly of 1970s New York City. Where he is forced to face a past he thought he was able to put behind him.
“The Continental” will premiere September 22nd, only on Peacock. The next two episodes will be released on September 29th and October 6th, respectively. Check out the trailer now:
Mary Anne Butler
Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
