The John Wick universe is expanding again at Lionsgate.

Per Deadline, the next spinoff in the John Wick franchise will be John Wick: Under The High Table. The action series will be produced by Keanu Reeves and Chad Stahelski, with the latter directing the pilot episode.

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.

To quote the Bowery King (John Wick: Chapter 2's Laurence Fishburne), "Somebody please get this man a gun." Keanu Reeves (The Matrix Resurrections) returns as the world's greatest, angriest, and deadliest assassin in John Wick: Chapter 4. After the events of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, John is alive and joins forces with the Bowery King to dismantle and destroy the High Table.

It won't come easy, though, as the Marquis Vincent de Gramont (Barbarian's Bill Skarsgård), a powerful member of the High Table whose mission is to end John's warpath. To earn his freedom from the High Table, John challenges the de Gramont to a duel, which he accepts. However, the price on John's head continues to increase, forcing the hitman to kill opposing forces from all around the world. Chapter 4 is an action-packed adventure with more conflicts and kills as John fights for his independence.

If there's one thing the John Wick franchise has taught us, it's that the titular character (The Matrix Resurrections's Keanu Reeves) wants one thing and one thing only: freedom. John will do anything for freedom, as evidenced in the final trailer for John Wick: Chapter 4, even if that means taking down the entire High Table.

Set to Nas' Got Yourself a Gun,  the trailer follows John as he discovers a way to earn his freedom. He must challenge a member of the High Table, The Marquis de Gramont (It's Bill Skarsgård), to single combat. However, getting to that challenge will be difficult, as many assassins come after John. The adventure spans all across the globe, including New York City, Paris, and Japan. And everywhere John visits, he brings his gun and kills a lot of people. Anyone that stands in his way will be met with a bullet.
