The John Wick franchise has proven to be a true success. As a result, there is now news that there will be a John Wick spin-off for the TV screen, which will be broadcast on Starz once it has been completed. For those who are curious, said spin-off will be called The Continental, so it should come as no surprise to learn that it will be centered around the Continental Hotel, which has an importance place in the setting.
What Can We Expect From the John Wick Spin-Off?
First and foremost, a lot of people might be curious about whether the titular character of the franchise will be making an appearance in The Continental. If so, they should know that John Wick is guaranteed to make appearances on the series from time to time, but it is probable that he won’t be the main character for the series. Instead, that role will go to some other character, but it remains to be seen who will be chosen, seeing as how the series is still in the earliest stages of production at this point in time.
However, it is important to note that The Continental should feature a lot of the same characteristics that have made the John Wick movies so interesting to its fans. For example, the CEO of Starz has promised not just the intense fight scenes but also the intense shootout sequences, which should come as welcome news to fans who are unsure about whether they will want to follow along with the TV show as well. However, it is interesting to note that The Continental could well feature some stand-out characteristics of its own, as shown by the CEO of Starz’s second promise that it will introduce new characters of interest as well.
Finally, it should be mentioned that interested individuals should give The Continental a chance for the simple reason that a lot of the same people who are involved with the John Wick movies are involved with the TV show. For example, the person writing its script will be Chris Collins, who was the one who wrote the scripts for the John Wick movies as well. As a result, if people liked the John Wick movies, it stands to reason that there is a good chance that they will like The Continental as well once it has been released.
Further Considerations
With that said, it is still much too soon to speculate too much about what The Continental will be like. After all, it is still at a point in the production process where it sounds like the people behind it haven’t even finalized who the lead character will be. As a result, while it possesses potential, it is still much too soon to say whether that potential will be realized or not.
Fortunately, there is enough interest in the John Wick movies for some of that interest to carry over to The Continental. As a result, whatever news that comes out about it is sure to spread far and wide as soon as it comes out, meaning that interested individuals should keep an ear out for the latest information.
