Lionsgate is finally debuting the series set in the 1970s exploring the world of dog-loving assassin John Wick‘s favorite hideaway The Continental – but on Peacock, not its usual streamer Starz as orginally announced.

Peacock dropped a trailer for The Continental: From the World of John Wick (official title) Wednesday in anticipation of the three-part event, a series about Colin Woodell as a young Winston Scott. Scott, played by Ian McShane in the John Wick films, becomes the proprietor of The Continental, a notorious chain of hotels he established as a neutral haven for housing assassins. This mini-series reveals his backstory, in a style that director Albert Hughes calls “Disco Noir.”

In the words of the official show description, “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.”

Thunder Road executive producer Basil Iwanyk told IndieWire that “the four Wick films take place over a three-month span. John is either chasing, or being chased. There has been no time to take a breath, to allow the audience to dig deeper into the world and its denizens. In our show, The Continental, we finally have space to explore these characters, how they became who they are, and how The Continental became the epicenter of this world.”

He continued, promising new characters and “action that’s crazy cool and inventive. Easter eggs that will excite the hardcore Wick fans. And what I love the most: a vision of ‘70s New York that embodies the sexiness, edginess, and visceral style that the franchise is known for. This show will look/sound/smell cooler than any show out there.”

The show does not feature Keanu Reeves, of course, and anyone who doesn’t care for Mel Gibson should probably opt not to watch the program. Gibson plays a ruthless kingpin named Cormac who is friend or foe (or both) to Scott. The miniseries also stars Ayomide Adegun, Peter Greene, Ben Robson, Hubert Point-Du Jour, Jessica Allain, Mishel Prada and Nhung Kate.

The Continental is developed and executive produced by Greg Coolidge, Kirk Ward and Shawn Simmons, who also serve as writers on the show alongside Ken Kristensen. Executive producer Albert Hughes directed Part 1 and Part 3 of The Continental, while Charlotte Brandstrom directed the second part. 

The Continental debuts on September 22nd with the first episode of the three-part event, titled “Night 1.” Episode 2 will debut on September 29th, and the final episode will hit the streamer on October 6th.
