The action-packed franchise has spawned multiple films, each raising the stakes and expanding the intricate world of assassins, hotels, and underground societies. Now, the John Wick universe is set to expand further with a television series titled “John Wick: Under the High Table.”
A New Era For John Wick
Picking up immediately after the events of Chapter 4, the series promises to delve deeper into the complex power dynamics of the High Table.

Robert Levine, known for his work on critically acclaimed shows like “The Old Man” and “Black Sails,” takes the helm as writer, showrunner, and executive producer. Thus, his talent for crafting compelling narratives and complex characters is a promising sign for the series.
Chad Stahelski, the visionary director behind the John Wick films, will executively produce and direct the pilot episode. His expertise in action choreography and world-building is invaluable, guaranteeing that the series will deliver the same adrenaline-pumping thrills as its cinematic counterparts. Keanu Reeves, while not currently attached to star in the series, remains deeply involved as an executive producer. Hence, his continued involvement ensures that the core essence of hero will permeate the show, satisfying fans and introducing new viewers to the captivating world.
A World Of Possibilities
“John Wick: Under the High Table” marks the second television series set in the John Wick universe, following the prequel miniseries “The Continental.” With its potential to introduce new characters, explore unseen corners of the underworld, and expand upon the mythology established in the films, the series offers exciting possibilities for fans and newcomers alike. As the franchise continues to grow, with a fifth film in development and spin-offs centered around characters like Ballerina and Caine, the future looks bright for the Baba Yaga and his world. Thus, with “Under the High Table” on the horizon, audiences can anticipate even more thrilling adventures and unexpected twists in the saga of the world’s deadliest assassin.
