The first look at John Wick’s prequel series ‘The Continental’ has been released and it seems packed full of action.
The trailer takes the viewers back to an alternate 1970s, where Colin Woodell (The Flight Attendant) assumes the role of Winston Scott.
The Continental stars Colin Woodell as a young Winston Scott — the hotel manager at The Continental. It will explore the origin behind the iconic hotel-for-assassins centerpiece of the John Wick universe through the eyes and actions of Woodell’s young Winston, as he’s dragged into the Hell-scape of 1970’s New York City to face a past he thought he’d left behind.

In the trailer, the audience could find a young Winston thrust into a deadly situation after his brother Frankie stole something important from Mel Gibson’s criminal kingpin Cormac, then manager of The Continental NYC.
A short clip for the show (subtitled From the World of John Wick) gave us a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it taste of the grand sets on display, plus Woodell’s character simply saying: “And away we go…”
