The Continental: From the World of John Wick on Peacock: Everything you need to know about the John Wick spinoff

The Continental: From the World of John Wick is a miniseries, so it will only release one season with only three episodes.

Here is the episode schedule,

• Episode 1: Brothers In Arms - Night 1 - September 22, 2023
• Episode 2: Loyalty to the Master - Night 2 - September 29, 2023
• Episode 3: Theater of Pain - Night 3 - October 6, 2023

Here is the official trailer for the show,

From the above trailer, it is obvious that there is going to be a ton of thrills, adventure, guns, weapons, and high-paced action sequences. Winston Scott is shown to be a sleek individual who is also a smooth talker and easily gets any woman he wants.

Hollywood superstar Mel Gibson seems to have a very prominent role as Cormac. He is apparently the person who ran the Continental of New York during the 1970s, and all guests were dangerous and highly trained assassins.

This is the first time Mel Gibson will appear in a John Wick-related project. In an interview with Movie Web, the actor described the role he is going to play on the show.

He said,

"He's kind of like [Winston and Charon’s] mentor, or actually, mentor or tormentor, I'm not sure which. But he's rather a nefarious character who's like a father figure to them, and they perceive him that way when they're young, but as they grow and begin to analyse who he really is, they realise he's probably not the father figure he pretends to be. He's pretty selfish in his own motives, and has used them in an ill way, and I think they're burned by that and they want to get even. Rightly so."
