Keanu Reeves is nowhere near done with the John Wick franchise as he just signed on to executive produce a new sequel series titled John Wick: Under The High Table.
The in-demand action star – turning the big 6-0 next month – will reunite with his Matrix stunt double-turned-director Chad Stahelski on the project set directly after the end of John Wick: Chapter 4.
‘He is said to be very hands-on with the project, which is being shopped in what is shaping up to become a competitive situation,’ an insider told Deadline.
‘Under The High Table promises to combine new and old and thrust the Wick universe into a new age.’
The Old Man co-creator Robert Levine penned the upcoming series and will serve as showrunner.

One possible plot line could involve blind High Table assassin Caine (Donnie Yen), who was last seen in Paris attempting to meet up with his violin-playing daughter during the post-credits scene.
However, Osaka Continental concierge Shimazu Akira (Rina Sawayama) pulled a knife on Caine in an attempt to avenge her late father Shimazu Koji’s (Hiroyuki Sanada) murder, but the camera cut to black.
Fans worried about Wick’s fate at the ‘ambiguous’ end of John Wick: Chapter 4 can rest a bit easier knowing a fifth film is also in the works as ‘The High Table will not interfere with it.’
Keanu starred in the first four John Wick films – spanning 2014-2023 – which amassed a combined $1B at the global box office with each one bigger and better reviewed than the last.
On July 27, Reeves – who chopped off his John Wick long locks in March – surprised fans at the Stern Pinball booth at San Diego Comic-Con, so he could play the brand new John Wick game.
Anthrax drummer-guitarist Charlie Benante composed the music for the game and he called the Beirut-born Canadian’s visit ‘one of the coolest moments in pinball history.’
Keanu will next reprise his role in Len Wiseman’s Ballerina, which doesn’t hit US theaters until June 6, 2025 and UK theaters until June 7, 2025.
John Wick Presents: Ballerina stars Ana de Armas (and 11-year-old Victoria Comte) as the vengeful dancer Rooney previously played by Unity Phelan in John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum.
