The Continental cast: Who stars in the John Wick spin-off series?
Peacock’s new series, The Continental: From the World of John Wick, promises to expand on the hit Keanu Reeves movies. But who stars in this new limited series?
John Wick was a hit when it premiered in 2014 with Keanu Reeves as the title character, a former assassin pushed back into the fight. It was shown that John belonged to a secret society that took their jobs and legacies seriously. The Continental was a set of hotels that acted as a safe haven for the killers to meet and make deals without the threat of violence.
The New York Continental was run by Winston Scott, played by Ian McShane, who became an ally of John. He was aided by concierge Charon, played by Lance Reddick (in a tragic irony, Reddick passed away right after filming John Wick 4, where Charon is killed off).
This new three-part series takes place in the 1970s and shows how Winston joined The Continental and became part of this world. He also has to deal with his brother Frankie, who makes the mistake of stealing a press used to print the assassin guild’s gold currency, which sparks some violence.
It looks like a good show, but who stars in it?
