John Wick prequel series moves to peacock, on track for 2023 premiere

The John Wick prequel series is going to stream on Peacock, and not Starz.  Peacock and Lionsgate announced yesterday that The Continental, the three-part “special event” that was originally developed for Starz, will instead premiere exclusively on Peacock next year.  Told from the perspective of the titular hotel’s manager, a young Winston Scott (played by Colin Woodell and based on Ian McShane’s character in the John Wick films) is dragged through 1975 New York to face a past he thought he’d left behind. In an attempt to seize control of the iconic hotel, which serves as a meeting point for the world’s most dangerous criminals, Winston charts a deadly course through the mysterious underworld of New York City.
