For months now, there have been a ton of questions regarding where the “John Wick” franchise was going to go after the main character’s apparent demise in ‘Chapter 4.’ Would we get a John Wick resurrection? Or is the franchise going to be led by someone else? Well, the answers to those questions are still unknown at this time, but we do know that Lionsgate is working on a series that will serve as the sequel to the “John Wick” film franchise.
According to Deadline, Lionsgate is teaming with “John Wick” filmmaker Chad Stahelski to work on a new TV series titled “John Wick: The High Table.” The series is said to pick up where the fourth film left off, as the powerful High Table is left in a bit of uncertainty.

Actor Keanu Reeves is only mentioned as a producer on the new series. It’s unclear if he will have a role or not. Stahelski is set to direct the pilot episode, and ‘The High Table’ will be rewritten by Robert Levine, who is probably best known for his work on the FX series, “The Old Man.”
This is one of a couple of new ‘Wick’ projects that have been announced since Chad Stahelski came aboard to be the creative lead behind the expansion of the franchise. We already knew that there is a film being developed starring Donnie Yen, a character last seen in ‘Chapter 4.’ In addition to that project, there is a film that is expected to debut this year, “The Ballerina,” which stars Ana de Armas.
It’s still far too early to know when we might see ‘The High Table’ debut on TV. We still don’t know what network or streamer it’ll appear on. But at least we know we’ll be getting a sequel series at some point.
