Peacock has released the first teaser trailer of the highly anticipated John Wick prequel series The Continental. This is a prequel story set in the 70s that will offer some background and history about this fascinating world of assassins and the High Table. I was thrilled with this show and am differentiating the vibe from this first look.

The Continental is planned as a three-episode event series with each episode running for 90 minutes. The story of the series will be told through the eyes and actions of Winston Scott, “who is drawn into the hellish 1975 New York City to face a past he thought he had left behind. Winston plots a deadly path through the mysterious underworld of New York in a harrowing bid to take over the iconic hotel, which serves as a meeting point for the world’s most dangerous criminals.
It will be a lot of fun to watch it and see how Winston took over the Continental Hotel. I really hope we get to see him doing some crazy action! I’ve always wondered if Winston was tough in his youth, and now we’ll see!
