The Continental: From the World of John Wick teaser gets very ’70s

Until morale improves, the John Wick franchise will continue to hand out beatings — this time in the ’70s. We get our first glimpse at the miniseries that preceded it. The Continental: The World of John Wick is here, and it’s appropriately groovy.

Set to Donna Summer’s “I Feel Love,” the teaser is big on style and light on substance, with lots of guns, a katana, and plenty of suits.

Billed as a three-part “event,” The Continental will, according to the official Peacock synopsis, “explore the origin behind the iconic hotel-for-assassins centerpiece of the John Wick universe through the eyes and actions of a young Winston Scott, as he’s dragged into the hellscape of 1970’s New York City to face a past he thought he’d left behind.”

Colin Woodell stars as Winston Scott as a young man. This series is based on the movies, where Ian McShane was the young assassin King of New York. John Wick. All we know so far is this: The Continental is that it will chronicle Winston’s attempt to seize the eponymous hotel. The role other cast members have to play — like Mel Gibson’s Cormac or Mishel Prada’s (from the excellent Starz series Vida) KD — remains a mystery.

The Continental: The World of John WickPeacock will host the premiere in September.
