‘John Wick’ May Get A Prequel TV Series According To Its Creators
How would you feel about a John Wick prequel TV series? Me? Torn. I have absolutely no idea how you’d bring John Wick to TV , unless it’s absolutely on a premium channel. If the creators can pull that off, I’d be interested. Otherwise. Hard pass.
The John Wick sequel that comes out next week follows up on the events of the first film. But, according to a report in /Film, director Chad Stahelski and screenwriter Derek Kolstad have designs to go back in time with the character. They reportedly are interested in doing a prequel TV series, which we assume would chronicle John’s early assassin days before he settled down down with his now-dead wife (Bridget Moynahan). “We basically almost have a prequel written, but we’d save that for other aspects of the property,” Stahelski told Slash Film. “Lionsgate is very interested in doing a John Wick TV show, and that seems very appealing to us, to give those creative ideas to that entity, because I think in TV you could really expand on what that is, and greater than we could in just a two-hour film.” Considering Keanu Reeves doesn’t age, sticking him in a show that takes place years in the past won’t be that much of a problem, if they choose to do so.
