A TV series followup to the “John Wick” films is currently in development at Lionsgate Television, Variety has confirmed.
No network or streaming service is attached, with Lionsgate currently shopping the project. The series, titled “John Wick: Under the High Table,” would pick up immediately after the events of “John Wick: Chapter 4.”
The official logline states, “John Wick has left the world of the High Table in a tenuous position and a collection of new characters will look to make a name for themselves while some of the franchise stalwart characters remain committed to the old-world order. The series will combine new and old and thrust the Wick universe into a new age.”

Lionsgate Television will produce, with Lionsgate having released all of the “John Wick” films to date.

Should the project find a home, it would be the second TV series set in the world of “John Wick.” Lionsgate TV previously produced the miniseries “The Continental: From the World of John Wick,” which served as a prequel to the events of the films.
