Keanu Reeves isn’t done with the John Wick franchise just yet, as he has just signed on as an executive producer for a new sequel series titled John Wick: Under The High Table.
The in-demand action star, who turns 60 next month, will team up with his Matrix stunt double and former director Chad Stahelski for the film, which picks up immediately after the end of John Wick: Chapter 4.
“He is said to be very closely involved in the project, which is being carried out in a situation that is developing into a competitive situation,” an insider said. Deadline.
‘Under The High Table promises to combine the new and the old, ushering in a new era for the Wick universe.’
Robert Levine, co-creator of The Old Man, wrote the upcoming series and will serve as showrunner.

The sought-after action film star, who turns 60 next month, will reunite with his Matrix stunt double and now director Chad Stahelski (R) on the project set immediately following the conclusion of John Wick: Chapter 4.
One possible storyline could involve the blind assassin Caine (Donnie Yen) who works at the High Table. He was last seen in Paris, where he meets his violin-playing daughter in the post-credits scene.
However, Osaka Continental janitor Shimazu Akira (Rina Sawayama) pulled a knife on Caine in an attempt to avenge the murder of her late father Shimazu Koji (Hiroyuki Sanada), but the camera cut to black.
Fans worried about Wick’s fate at the “ambiguous” end of John Wick: Chapter 4 can rest assured that a fifth film is in the works. “The High Table will not be involved in that.”
Keanu starred in the first four John Wick films – from 2014 to 2023 – which collectively grossed a billion dollars at the global box office, with each film getting bigger and better rated than the previous one.
On July 27, Reeves, who chopped off his long John Wick 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 visits ‘one of the coolest moments in pinball history.’
Keanu will reprise his role in Len Wiseman’s Ballerina, which is set to hit US theaters on June 6, 2025, and UK theaters on 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.
