"The Continental" will explore the origin behind the hotel-for-assassins, which increasingly has become the centerpiece of the John Wick universe. This will be accomplished through the eyes and actions of a young Winston Scott (played by Ian McShane in the movies), who is dragged into the Hell-scape of a 1975 New York City to face a past he thought he'd left behind. Winston charts a deadly course through the New York's mysterious underworld in a harrowing attempt to seize the iconic hotel, which serves as the meeting point for the world's most dangerous criminals.
Gibson is set to play a character named Cormac. This is the actor's first foray into television since making his acting debut on the Australian television drama series "The Sullivans", which ran between 1976 and 1983.
Colin Woodell ("The Flight Attendantd") will star as the young Winston Scott. McShane has previously said he won't appear in The Continental but might do voice-over work, and Lionsgate has said that while Reeves likely won't appear in the series, he's in talks to be an exec producer.
The series will be written by Greg Coolidge ("Ride Along") and Kirk Ward ("Wayne"). They will also serve as showrunners and executive produce. Albert Hughes ("The Book of Eli") will be directing Night One and Night Three, and Charlotte Brandstrom ("The Lord of the Rings") will direct Night Two.
