Yep, her off Babestation.

A 'John Wick' TV spin-off is coming!

Even though John Wick 3 is still in production, Starz network has started developing a spin-off show called The The Continental. If it's anything like TV spin-off, Constantine, I think it'll give it a miss.

Fans of John Wick will understand the title, The Continental, which is also the name of the hotel where the assassins stay when they're working.

Apparently the new series will explore New York’s criminal underworld and will focus on the guests of the hotel. Keanu Reeves, who is the shows executive producer, is set to make an appearance on the show but he won't be the main character. Nobody knows yet if actor Ian McShane, who plays the hotel's owner will appear in the series but here's hoping.

The show is being written by Chris Collins who has also worked on shows like The Man in the High Castle and The Wire. The network's CEO Chris Albrecht said he doesn't want the series to be a low budget version of John Wick, and intends to maintain the high-quality action that fans love so much. Chris said:

The Continental promises to include the thunderous fight sequences and intensely staged shootouts between professional assassins and their targets that fans have come to expect in the John Wick movie franchise as well as introducing some new, darkly compelling characters who inhabit this underground world.

To be fair, they've got an awesome writer on the case, plus a few of the original cast. This could actually be pretty amazing.
