The first four seasons have been nothing short of interesting for the fans to watch and unfold. So, if you are sitting there wondering what’s going to happen next, be assured that you aren’t the only one. The majority of the fans are in a similar boat as well.
We will take you along to explore all the details about John Wick Season 5 and its eventual release down the line.

When is John Wick Season 5 Released?
John Wick: Chapter 5 is officially in development, with director Chad Stahelski back at the helm. However, a release date has yet to be confirmed.
Filming hasn’t begun, and considering the intricate fight choreography and visual effects that are hallmarks of the franchise, a 2025 release seems unlikely. A 2026 premiere date is more realistic, allowing ample time for production and post-production.
It is great if you are excited about the eventual release of the fifth season but we’d recommend that you have realistic expectations from the release. It would take some time before we even get a glimpse into the show’s teaser and trailer, let alone the actual episodes.
What can we expect from John Wick Season 5?
John Wick follows a very chronological order for the release of the episodes and seasons. If you have no idea what happened in the first four seasons, there are chances you will not understand what season 5 has in store. So, get that out of the way first.
John Wick appeared to succumb to his wounds at the end of Chapter 4. However, the film cleverly avoids showing a definitive death. Will John Wick defy the odds and return for one last fight? Or will the story take a new direction, focusing on the consequences of his actions and the power vacuum he leaves behind?
The Continental, the neutral ground for assassins, played a pivotal role in Chapter 4. John’s actions have undoubtedly broken their code. Will the Continental remain neutral, or will they be forced to choose a side?
John Wick has declared war on the High Table, the governing body of the assassin underworld. Chapter 5 could delve deeper into this conflict, showcasing the full force of the High Table’s retribution and the allies John can muster in this desperate fight.
The John Wick universe is rich with lore and untapped potential. Chapter 5 could introduce new factions and characters vying for power in the wake of John Wick’s actions.
Who is returning to John Wick Season 5?
To be fair, one thing about John Wick is its consistency in maintaining the characters throughout each season. If you are wondering who will return in the fifth installment, we can expect:
- Keanu Reeves (John Wick)
- Ian McShane (Winston)
- Laurence Fishburne (The Bowery King)
