CBSUniversal streaming service Peacock has released the official trailer for The Continental, the upcoming three-part event series that serves as a prequel to the John Wick films.

The plot takes us to 1970’s NYC and follows a young Winston Scott, who was played by Ian McShane in the films and is here played by Colin Woodell (The Flight Attendant). We explore the origin behind the iconic hotel-for-assassins as a young Winston is dragged into the Hell-scape of 1970’s New York City to face a past he thought he’d left behind. Winston charts a deadly course through the hotel’s mysterious underworld in a harrowing attempt to seize the hotel where he will eventually take his future throne.

The cast of this slick-looking three-parter includes Mel Gibson, Ayomide Adegun (playing a younger Charon, who was played by the late Lance Reddick in the films), Peter Green, Ben Robson, Mishel Prada, Jessica Allain, Hubert Point-Du, and Nhung Kate.
