\n The first look at the John Wick prequel series<\/a> is here, but don\u2019t expect to see its biggest star. <\/p>\n

\n Below is the teaser trailer for The Continental<\/em>, Peacock\u2019s three-part limited series set roughly 40 years before the events in the Wick feature film saga that focuses on events surrounding a hotel for assassins in New York City. <\/p>\n

\n The project\u2019s top-billed actor is Mel Gibson, who plays a character named Cormac, yet the controversial Oscar winner is absent from the footage: <\/p>\n

\n The show \u2014 fully titled The Continental: From The World Of John Wick<\/em> \u2014 stars Colin Woodell (The Purge<\/em>) as Winston Scott. He\u2019s the young version of the Continental Hotel owner played by Ian McShane in the films that star Keanu Reeves. <\/p>\n

\n For Gibson,\u00a0The Continental<\/em>\u00a0is his first TV series work since his recurring role in the short-lived 2004 ABC comedy\u00a0Complete Savages<\/em>. His casting in The Continental<\/em> caused a backlash on social media<\/a> when announced due to the actor-director\u2019s history of anti-Semitic comments. His omission from the trailer is a bit conspicuous given Gibson is the most well-known member of the ensemble cast. <\/p>\n

\n Here\u2019s the official descript<\/a>ion: \u201cThe three-part event will explore the origin behind the iconic hotel-for-assassins centerpiece of the John Wick <\/em>universe through the eyes and actions of a young Winston Scott, as he\u2019s dragged into the Hell-scape of 1970s New York City to face a past he thought he\u2019d left behind.\u00a0 Winston charts a deadly course through the hotel\u2019s mysterious underworld in a harrowing attempt to seize the hotel where he will eventually take his future throne.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n Peacock also announced the event will premiere in September 2023.<\/p>\n

\n The Lionsgate project took a long road to the screen, having first been put into development in 2018. The limited series is written and executive produced by Greg Coolidge, Kirk Ward and Shawn Simmons (Wayne<\/em>), with Albert Hughes (Menace II Society<\/em>) directing episodes one and three and Charlotte Brandstrom (The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power<\/em>) helming episode two. <\/p>\n

\n The series also stars Mishel Prada (KD), Ben Robson (Frankie), Hubert Point-Du Jour (Miles), Nhung Kate (Yen), Jessica Allain (Lou), Ayomide Adegun (Charon), Jeremy Bobb (Mayhew) and Peter Greene (Uncle Charlie).\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
