Prepare yourself, John Wick fans! This beloved action series is expanding once again! We've already seen how wild this universe can get. "John Wick: Under the High Table," a sequel series is in the works - a direct sequel to the awesomely brutal John Wick: Chapter 4!
No, you are not dreaming! This time, the series will introduce a bunch of fresh faces, some pretty daring individuals who are taking on the high-stakes task of going after The High Table, the big-bad that controls all of the criminal underworld, a criminal enterprise more powerful than anything we've ever seen.
It all started with John Wick, back in 2014! This ex-hitman, who had to take up the deadly job again after his beagle, Daisy, got snatched by some nasty bad guys, became one of those iconic characters that's turned into a franchise! And the world keeps spinning with new releases like "The Continental," and "Ballerina," all tied in to this super thrilling underworld. The whole story is so cool, we can't wait to see more!
We've been waiting for "John Wick 5," but while the franchise is going on a rampage of creating new spinoffs, they seem to be putting "John Wick 5" on hold – for now, maybe? But now "Under the High Table" arrives, set to expand this universe even more.
Yeah, it is not great news that John Wick is not actually part of the cast. While there were rumors he might make an appearance, Keanu Reeves isn’t really interested in that, and to be fair, his character went down at the end of "Chapter 4"! He is though, part of the show's team, so he will be involved. Keanu confirmed he'd happily come back to the John Wick franchise, just as long as the story was cool! Plus, he will be the executive producer! No doubt, this is just another way to get into the nitty-gritty of John Wick’s awesome universe!
The new "Under the High Table" show, a lot of people think, is gonna pick up after “Chapter 4,” with new faces ready to make a mess in the underworld! With a director, Chad Stahelski, at the helm, there's no doubt that "Under the High Table" is going to be a masterpiece with some hardcore action sequences.
So now that we've seen the world through "John Wick: The Continental" we’ve had a look at what the history behind the Continental Hotel - that really stylish haven for all the assassins — we've got "Under The High Table" set to do some serious digging into this world and bring in some powerful, new characters who are taking a run at dismantling this notorious crime empire. This is just the perfect scenario to bring in some truly awesome action, a dash of unexpected betrayal, and of course, more of those intense confrontations. It’s gonna be amazing.
The world of John Wick just gets more intricate with every installment, so it's no surprise there are even more plot twists and surprising characters! Let's get ready to dig into the dark underworld and uncover those powerful personalities trying to tear it down! We’ve already been introduced to The High Table in the John Wick films but with Under the High Table, we can see the world of assassin empires more intricately than ever before.
So the new John Wick show has got a release date in mind – March 24, 2023. That gives us more time to get stoked for the action! We’re ready for a deeper dive into the underworld, we’re ready to learn about this awesome new cast!
It might feel like a super long wait, especially after seeing all the intensity in "Chapter 4," but you just know it’s going to be totally worth the hype. And one more thing, the show has been making headlines since late 2023! There's lots to love here. If we're really lucky, we’ll even find out what's next for John Wick! He might be dead right now, but, this universe has never shied away from bringing the dead back, so who knows? The only thing we can do right now is speculate, and try to resist our curiosity! We’re on the edge of our seats and excited about the action, adventure, and, yeah, probably even a whole bunch of tears over a canine friend.
