John Wick: Under The High Table will pick up directly after the events of John Wick: Chapter 4. “John Wick has left the world of the High Table in a tenuous position and a collection of new characters will look to make a name for themselves while some of the franchise stalwart characters remain committed to the old-world order,” Deadline’s description of the series reads.

At the end of Chapter 4, John Wick appears to succumb to his injuries and is buried next to his wife, Helen. Reeves is only attached to Under The High Table as an executive producer, not an actor. However, Reeves is reportedly very “hands-on” with the project. Under The High Table is currently being shopped as it looks for a home at a network or streamer.

The Old Man co-creator Robert Levine will serve as writer, executive producer, and showrunner of Under The High Table. Additional executive producers include Thunder Road’s Erica Lee and Basil Iwanyk, who produce the John Wick movies.

The wait for the next chapter is over. It's been a long journey for everyone's favorite puppy-avenging assassin. From defending his home from Russian gangsters in the first John Wick to engaging in a knife fight at an antique store in John Wick: Chapter 3 -- Parabellum, Keanu Reeves' now-iconic assassin has seen it all and lived to tell the tale ... so far.

But in John Wick: Chapter 4, Wick seems to have met his match in Bill Skarsgård's psychotic Marquis Vincent de Gramont, who uses all of the High Table's resources to kill John. After a long and bloody fight between Wick and the High Table's assassins at the Osaka Continental, which results in the death of his longtime friend, Shimazu Koji (Hiroyuki Sanada), John arranges to duel Caine (Donnie Yen), a blind assassin blackmailed by the Marquis to do his bidding so his daughter will not be killed, at the Sacré-Cœur in Paris at sunrise. But first, Wick must deal with a bevy of bounty hunters, a mysterious friend/foe, a killer dog who likes to bite on a man's private parts, and a race against time.

The best kills in John Wick: Chapter 4, ranked

oThe Baba Yaga has finally returned with the release of John Wick: Chapter 4. As expected, Keanu Reeves has delivered some bloody and spectacular kills throughout this three-hour, action-packed epic.

Over the years, viewers have seen John murder people with just about every weapon that comes to mind, but he and his fellow assassins went above and beyond when it came to dishing out creative kills in this fourth chapter. In a film filled with deaths, these kills are undoubtedly the best of the best.

I saw John Wick: Chapter 4 and I couldn’t stop thinking about this one scene
John Wick loads his gun in John Wick: Chapter 4.

John Wick: Chapter 4 is one of the greatest achievements in action filmmaking that I have ever seen. I am not saying that John Wick: Chapter 4 is one of the greatest action films I have ever seen; however, in action filmmaking - stunts, choreography, camera movements, set pieces - John Wick: Chapter 4 is one of the very best. The credit belongs to the director, Chad Stahelski (John Wick), who famously worked as a stunt double for Keanu Reeves (Speed) in The Matrix franchise.

Throughout the 169-minute runtime, there were multiple moments where I asked myself if I was witnessing the greatest choreographed fight sequence ever caught on film. Chapter 4 rarely lets the audience breathe (in a good way) as it transitions from one action sequence to the next. When describing Kill Bill and its violence, Quentin Tarantino (Pulp Fiction) said, "Kill Bill’s a violent movie. But it’s a Tarantino movie. You don’t go to see Metallica and ask the fuckers to turn the music down." I, along with the rest of the fanbase, are not going to see John Wick for its monologues. I want to see John take down an entire army of assassins with a pistol in hand and a dog by his side, and Chapter 4 provides that request and then some.
