Peacock Drops Official Trailer for ‘The Continental: From the World of John Wick’

*Peacock has released the official trailer, key art, and scene imagery for “The Continental: From The World Of John Wick,” the highly anticipated prequel series in the blockbuster movie franchise starring Keanu Reeves.

“The series explores the origin behind the iconic hotel-for-assassins centerpiece of the John Wick universe through the eyes and actions of a young Winston Scott, as he’s dragged into the Hell-scape of 1970’s New York City to face a past he thought he’d left behind,” per the synopsis.

The three-part event premieres Friday, September 22, followed by Night 2 airing September 29, and Night 3 airing October 6.

“Everyone loves escapism in cinema. As a filmmaker I wanted to honor the spirit of escapism and excitement from the film series while introducing new fans to a hyper-stylized world they’ve never seen before,” series EP Albert Hughes previously said in a statement.

“Together executive producer/writer Kirk Ward and I had several goals – to explore the backstories of familiar Wick characters, introduce new and exciting ones, dig deeper into the rules and mythology while expanding the physical scope of The Continental, showing fans areas of the iconic hotel they’ve never seen before,” Hughes continued.

“The challenge for me was capitalizing on television’s ability to deliver longer form storytelling and deeper character arcs. We found this format to be an exciting opportunity to create three feature films that balance storytelling and interesting idiosyncratic characters while giving the hardcore Wick fans more of what they love – original high-octane action. We can’t wait for you to see what we’ve all been working on; we believe it is great television at its best.”
