The Continental Season 2: Producers Spill Exclusive Details on John Wick TV Show's Highly Anticipated Future!

Summary

Executive producers Erica Lee and Basil Iwanyk are hopeful for The Continental season 2, revealing that "there's more story to tell."

The team responsible for The Continental, much like the John Wick films, has been dedicated to perfecting the current project without prematurely considering future endeavors. However, discussions regarding a potential second season have already taken place. Although the producers do not divulge the specifics of what this second season would entail, the expansive network of Continentals depicted in the movies offers a multitude of captivating settings and individuals that could be further explored.

The future of the John Wick show beyond season 1 and the possibility of a season 2 is addressed by Erica Lee and Basil Iwanyk, the executive producers of The Continental. With the recent release of John Wick: Chapter 4, the franchise is expanding and introducing thrilling spinoffs. Alongside a movie featuring Ana de Armas, The Continental, a Peacock series, will delve into the early years of Winston at the assassin hotel in New York City during the 1970s.

Lee and Iwanyk recently discussed the possibility of a second season of The Continental with Collider ahead of its release on Peacock this weekend. Lee mentioned that discussions about a follow-up season have only just begun, but expressed confidence that there is more story to be told. The creative team is hopeful for a second season. As for the franchise's approach to sequels and follow-ups, Iwanyk shared that the focus is always on ensuring the current project is successful, rather than discussing future installments.

What Could The Continental Season 2 Be About?

In the movies, Ian McShane portrayed the character of Winston in The Continental. However, in the series, a younger version of Winston, portrayed by Colin Woodell, takes center stage. The show will delve into his introduction to the hotel industry and his encounters with a variety of quirky individuals within the hotel's ecosystem, including Cormac, the hotel's manager portrayed by Mel Gibson. While the second season might continue to explore Winston's adventures at the New York City Continental, the show's premise allows for the possibility of a different approach in the second season.

Instead of continuing the story with Winston in 1970s New York City, the show could adopt an anthology approach and introduce new characters at different hotel locations. The John Wick movies have showcased Continental hotels in Rome, Italy, and Osaka, Japan, both of which would offer intriguing settings for the second season. Koji Shimazu (played by Hiroyuki Sanada) stands out in John Wick: Chapter 4, making his character's backstory a potential focus for the show's new season.

The movies imply the existence of Continental hotels worldwide, providing countless possibilities for future seasons. While the reception of The Continental season 1 remains to be seen, if it proves successful on Peacock, there is a strong likelihood for another installment to be approved.
