John Wick has become one of the best action franchises in recent history, seemingly changing the genre and eliciting many copycat movies with similar high-intensity sequences. Hoping to push the world of John Wick beyond Keanu Reeves, Lionsgate will release From the World of John Wick: Ballerina on June 6, 2025, starring Ana de Armas.

Before you head off to see the latest chapter, take a moment to relive the films, or watch them all for the first time. All four installments (and the prequel miniseries) are streaming on Peacock right now—the first three don't even need a subscription! You'll also be able to catch some of them on Fubo, Philo, or Sling. Otherwise, there are several places to buy and rent them.


Where to Watch the John Wick Films and TV Series

John Wick

Legendary assassin John Wick is forced out of retirement after tragedy strikes to unleash vengeance the only way he knows how: By killing everyone who pissed him off. Couple this with a bounty placed on Wick’s head, and you’re in for one hell of a ride. John Leguizamo, Alfie Allen, and Michael Nyqvist all bring a little piece of kickass to the table.

John Wick: Chapter  2

John Wick plans to resume his quiet retirement life—until Santino D’Antonio shows up demanding a favor the assassin cannot refuse. The job? Take out the Camorra crime syndicate's leader, who also just happens to be D’Antonio’s sister. Nothing says “family reunion” like hiring an assassin to take out a sibling. Riccardo Scamarcio rules as the antagonist, and you can enjoy some action-heavy performances from Ruby Rose and Claudia Gerini.

John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum

In chapter 3 of Wick’s saga, he makes an egregious error—he offs a member of the High Table. Booted out of his guild and saddled with an unreal $14 million bounty on his head, Wick goes on the lam. Anjelica Huston, Asia Kate Dillon, and Halle Berry round out the cast for the third film.

John Wick: Chapter 4

In the fourth installment of the series, John Wick learns of a way to defeat the High Table. His latest adventure features a higher bounty on his head, and a new evil that will turn old friends into foes. Expect appearances from Bill Skarsgard, Donnie Yen, Scott Adkins, as well as the return of familiar favorites like Laurence Fishburne and Ian McShane.

The Continental: From the World of John Wick

This prequel miniseries pulls the curtain back on Ian McChane's character Winston Scott, and how he came into possession of The Continental hotel. Set in the 1970s, it stars Mel Gibson as the previous proprietor and Colin Woodell as a young Scott, with appearances from some familiar faces.

Stream it: Peacock

Buy/Rent it: Amazon Video, Apple TV

From the World of John Wick: Ballerina

The first spin-off film for the John Wick franchise, Ballerina follows ballerina/assassin Eve Macarro as she trains to become a killer for the Ruska Roma and exacts her revenge on those who killed her father. The film stars Ana de Armas, Anjelica Huston, Gabriel Byrne, Norman Reedus, Ian McShane, and Keanu Reeves. It's also the final appearance of Lance Reddick, who passed away the month that Chapter 4 premiered.


How to Watch the World of John Wick in Order

Yes, you'd do just fine to watch all the films in number order. But then you'd miss out on all the lore of The Continental television series. And just where is Ballerina supposed to fit in the timeline? If you really want to get the full story, here's the definitive chronological order for the franchise (for now):

  • The Continental
  • John Wick
  • John Wick: Chapter 2
  • John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum
  • Ballerina
  • John Wick: Chapter 4

Everything Still to Come

Right now the franchise is nice and simple, but that probably won't last. Lionsgate has doubled down on its billion-dollar baby, so expect more films to come, with several currently in development set across the universe's timeline. The only named film at this point is Chapter 5, which was supposed to film back-to-back with Chapter 4. It was officially announced in April 2025, and will see John Wick confront new threats beyond the High Table.

Other unnamed projects were announced at the same time. Donnie Yen will star, direct, and executive produce a "Hong Kong-style action thriller" that follows his Caine and Rina Sawayama's Akira characters in the aftermath of Chapter 4. A prequel anime, starring Keanu Reeves, will take place before the first movie and finally depict how Wick left the High Table.

John Wick: Under the High Table, another television series, was also greenlit in August 2024. It will take place after Chapter 4, with new and returning characters fighting to usurp the High Table.

Check out From the World of John Wick: Ballerina in theaters beginning June 6.

Senior Editor, Help & How To

My Experience

As PCMag's editor of how to content, I have to cover a wide variety of topics and also make our stories accessible to everyday users. Considering my history as a technical writer, copywriter, and all-around freelancer covering baseball, comics, and more at various outlets, I am used to making myself into an expert.

I believe tech corporations are bad, but you might as well know how to use technology in everyday life. Want more how to content delivered right to your inbox? Sign up for the tips and tricks newsletter that I curate twice a week.

The Technology I Use

My job as how-to guru means I use just about every gadget under the sun, so I can figure out how everything works. I work from a Lenovo ThinkPad running Windows 11, but also have a very large Dell Inspiron 17 3000 and Apple silicon MacBook. I also have a Google Pixel 6a for personal use and use a Galaxy Z Flip 4 for additional Samsung-related testing. For iOS coverage, an iPhone 13 mini works like a charm, though it's already becoming a little long in the tooth.

My desktop situation includes a dual monitor setup with a modest Acer monitor. I also use a Logitech mouse (who can use these ThinkPad trackpads) and a Havit keyboard (my first mechanical keyboard; I love it but my wife hates it!). I'm a recent convert from wired headphones; I have Anker Soundcore Liberty Air wireless earbuds for personal use and have taken to the Sennheiser HD 450BT headphones for work.

Whenever I have a second to myself, I'm probably gaming on my Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, or Xbox Series S. I also still have a bunch of classic consoles lying around as well.
