After the action packed ‘John Wick: Chapter 4’, Lionsgate is looking to expand further into the John Wick universe, this time with a TV show. That’s right! The production house has just announced ‘John Wick: Under The High Table’ — a new series in the franchise, which will pick up the events right after the movie.
Deadline reports that Keanu Reeves is set to come back as the titular character on the show. He will also be acting as executive producer to the series. Excitingly, the pilot episode is going to be directed by Chad Stahelski. Here’s all you need to know about this exciting new prospect.
What To Expect From ‘John Wick: Under The High Table’?
Lionsgate’s new venture into the John Wick universe with the upcoming series has fans very excited. The series is reported to be written by ‘The Old Man’ co-creator Robert Levine. Keanu Reeves, who is the face of the franchise, has signed up as executive producer.
The storyline is set after the events of ‘John Wick: Chapter 4’. It will pick up where the 2023 movie ended, wherein John Wick has left the world of the High Table in a tenuous position. A set of new characters are also likely to be introduced, while some of the franchise stalwart characters remain committed to the old-world order.

The New John Wick Series Will Connect To A Spin-off Movie
At the end of the movie, John Wick and fellow assassin Caine are shown to have won their freedom from the High Table and Winston gets reinstatement of Hotel Manager of the rebuilt New York Continental. So it is likely that the series will show what the characters face after escaping the High Table.
The movie also presumed that John Wick was dead. So that will be an interesting angle to explore in the series.
A post-credit scene also teased a confrontation between Caine and Akira. Sources reveal that the series will have a connection to a John Wick spinoff movie about Caine. Independently, a fifth John Wick movie is in the making, along another spin-off series ‘Ballerina’ which stars Ana De Armas.
