Our Review
The Continental: From the World of John Wick (2023) is a action and crime series from Peacock. It has built a run of 3 episodes. It premiered on September 22, 2023. Viewers rate it 7.6 out of 10. It is currently ended. It runs 1 season.
What The Continental: From the World of John Wick Is About
The three-part event will 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 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.
What to Expect When You Watch
The format keeps each instalment self-contained enough to drop into, the full run covers 3 episodes, spread across 1 season and it leans into its action/crime roots while leaving room for the quieter character beats.
Performance-wise the series leans on Mel Gibson, Colin Woodell and Hubert Point-Du Jour to carry the emotional weight, with the rest of the ensemble filling out the world around them.
Cast and Creative Team
Mel Gibson, Colin Woodell, Hubert Point-Du Jour, Jessica Allain, Mishel Prada and Nhung Kate lead the cast.
Key roles include Mel Gibson as Cormac O'Connor; Colin Woodell as Winston Scott; Hubert Point-Du Jour as Miles; Jessica Allain as Lou; Mishel Prada as KD.
Why It Stands Out
Fans of action, crime and thriller have a clear reason to give this one a shot. It sits comfortably alongside Peacock’s other originals, a 7.6/10 audience score puts it in steady company and it commits to its premise instead of hedging between tones.
Released in 2023 and carried by Peacock with the series still ended, it lands hardest with action and crime viewers.
How The Continental: From the World of John Wick Compares
If The Continental: From the World of John Wick lands for you, the next stops are Avatar: The Last Airbender, Attack on Titan and Star Trek: The Next Generation, which share its action/crime lean.
Each of those sits at a different point on the same spectrum, so they make a natural follow-up once you finish the run here.

The Bottom Line
The Continental: From the World of John Wick is a safe bet for anyone already inside the action and crime lane, at 3 episodes it is an easy run to work through, the audience score holds around 7.6/10 and so there is little risk in starting it tonight.
Verdict: 7.6/10. Watch it if you want action/crime you can settle into.
