Keanu Reeves Set To Star As Lead Actor In The John Wick: Chapter 5; Checkout Title, Story Plot And More Details

As a lifestyle expert with a keen eye for action-packed entertainment, I am beyond thrilled about the expansion of the John Wick universe with the new series, John Wick: Under The High Table. With Keanu Reeves and Chad Stahelski at the helm, it’s safe to say that this series will be nothing short of extraordinary.


Lionsgate is broadening the world of John Wick by creating a fresh action series called “John Wick: Under The High Table.” This series is being overseen by Keanu Reeves, the main actor from the movie franchise, and Chad Stahelski, who will also direct the initial episode. Both are involved in its production.

The narrative penned by Robert Levine, a key figure behind The Old Man’s creation, picks up where John Wick: Chapter 4 concludes its tale.

As an ardent devotee of the John Wick franchise, I can’t help but be captivated by the narrative that unfolds as fresh personalities strive for recognition amidst a world that has been irrevocably impacted by John Wick’s exploits. Remarkably, some cherished cinematic figures continue to tread familiar paths, preserving their traditional ways.

Director Chad Stahelski, having secured a creative agreement with Lionsgate back in January for the John Wick franchise, is now overseeing production through his company, 87Eleven Entertainment. Meanwhile, showrunner Beau Levine has joined Keanu Reeves, along with producers Erica Lee and Basil Iwanyk from Thunder Road, in taking on executive producer roles for the series.

In the series, Reeves holds a role as an executive producer, meaning he’s heavily involved behind-the-scenes, but you won’t see him acting in it. His dedication and enthusiasm towards the project are drawing considerable attention.

In the fourth installment of John Wick, John Wick and assassin Caine, portrayed by Donnie Yen, manage to break free from the control of the powerful High Table. Winston, played by Ian McShane, regains his role as the overseer of the restored New York Continental Hotel. During this adventure, John manages to eliminate the High Table’s Marquis, but sustains severe injuries in the process.

In the closing scenes, it’s suggested that John might have perished, but there’s no definitive proof. A sneak peek after the credits reveals a potential fresh struggle between Caine and Akira (Rina Sawayama), who launches an attack on him in retaliation for her father’s demise. I, as a dedicated follower, am intrigued by this hint of a new conflict brewing!

In this scenario, there’s a possibility that a separate movie focused on character Caine could be made, currently being worked on by Lionsgate. Additionally, another spinoff film titled “Ballerina” featuring Ana de Armas is planned to unfold between the third and fourth installments of the John Wick series. A fifth John Wick film is also in production. The upcoming series, John Wick: The High Table, will not conflict with future movie plans.

Levine is recognized for his contributions to television shows like FX’s The Old Man and Starz’s Black Sails. His representation is handled by both William Morris Endeavor (WME) and TFC Management. Similarly, Stahelski is also represented by WME and attorney Tara Kole.
