John Wick could be headed to television with a prequel TV series, according to director Chad Stahelski.
Speaking to /Film at a press event for John Wick: Chapter Two, Stahelski explained that while they wanted to tell a prequel story with the upcoming sequel movie, "it just didn’t fit quite where we're at." Instead, it sounds like Lionsgate is interested in telling that story on television.
Stahelski said he and screenwriter Derek Kolstad "basically almost have a prequel written," though they'd rather "save that for other aspects of the property." He went on to note that "Lionsgate is very interested in doing a John Wick TV show, which they find "very appealing" because of the additional creative freedom that medium provides. "I think in TV you could really expand on what that is, and greater than we could in just a two-hour film," he explained.
As for right now, the director said they are focused on concluding the story they have created thus far and will "maybe save all [their] prequel ideas and impossible task ideas" for television.
John Wick: Chapter Two releases on February 10. Series star Keanu Reeves said that "if the first one was a black belt," then Chapter Two is a "third degree black belt." For our thoughts on the first film, read IGN's John Wick review.
