Ian McShane has said he will not be reprising his role as assassin hotel owner Winston in The Continental<\/strong><\/em>, the John Wick<\/em> TV series<\/a> that\u2019s been in development for years at Lionsgate and Starz. But though McShane won\u2019t be in it, his character definitely will be.<\/p>\n

Kevin Beggs<\/strong>, the chairman of Lionsgate TV, has revealed that The Continental<\/em> is going to be a John Wick<\/em> prequel that follows a younger version of Winston in the 1970s and explores \u201cthe origins of The Continental\u201d hotel itself. And it sounds like they\u2019re taking the BBC Sherlock<\/em> app<\/a>roach here, with The Continental<\/em> season 1 consisting of three 90-minute episodes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Beggs spoke with Deadline about what fans can expect when the John Wick<\/em> universe series eventually makes its way to the small screen.
\n\u201cWhat we\u2019re exploring in\u00a0The Continental<\/em>\u00a0is the young Winston and how it came to be that he and his team of confederates found their way into this hotel which we have met for the first time in the movie franchise 40 years later,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s the arena. I won\u2019t give away more than that, but Starz really leaned into this take also, and they have been great collaborators. And how we\u2019ve approached this first season is as three essentially 90-minute events, which you could construe as a limited series or a limited event series.\u201d There\u2019s no casting news<\/a> about who might play Young Winston yet.<\/p>\n

He explained that Lionsgate TV fielded a lot of pitches for the project, but the creative team \u201cfrom this obscure little show called Wayne<\/em> that was on YouTube<\/a>\u201d blew away the brass with their idea for the show. Like Todd Phillips\u2019 Joker<\/em>, The Continental<\/em> will be set against the backdrop of 1970s New York City, \u201cwith a garbage strike that has piled up bags of garbage to the third floor of most brownstones, [and] the mafia muscling in on that business,\u201d Beggs said.<\/p>\n

Several years ago, it was announced that franchise star Keanu Reeves<\/strong> was going to be appearing in this show. But now Beggs says that\u2019s not the case, and that because the show is a prequel, Wick \u201cis not finding his way\u201d into the action. Instead, Reeves is\u00a0in talks to executive produce the series, and he and director Chad Stahelski<\/strong> \u201chave read every draft and been enthusiastic supporters of expanding this universe in a meaningful way.\u201d Last we heard, Stahelski was attached to direct the pilot for Starz.<\/p>\n
