John Wick is arguably the defining action franchise of the last decade. What began as a relatively simple story of a retired assassin (Keanu Reeves) out for revenge has morphed into a globe-trotting saga filled with twisting allegiances, increasingly opaque worldbuilding, and guns… lots of guns.

This article explains how to watch the entire John Wick series in order of release and chronologically, as well as where each installment is available to stream.

Although it’s not a movie, we’ve included the spinoff Peaco*ck miniseries The Continental: From the World of John Wick in the lists below.

How to Watch the 'John Wick' Movies in Order of Release

John Wick was originally released in 2014, and three sequels have come out since. In addition to the movies, a prequel miniseries called The Continental: From the World of John Wick came out in 2023 on Peaco*ck.

Here’s the complete list of John Wick movies and spinoffs, sorted by order of release:

Entry	Release	Where to Watch
John Wick	2014	Tubi
John Wick: Chapter 2	2017	Tubi
John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum	2019	Tubi
John Wick: Chapter 4	2023	Starz
The Continental: From the World of John Wick	2023	Peaco*ck
Ballerina	2025	TBA

Planning a marathon? The first four John Wick movies will take eight hours and 42 minutes to watch back-to-back. The Continental miniseries adds another four hours and 28 minutes, so if you watch everything currently available, you're looking at a very long day of 13 hours and 10 minutes watching John Wick.

How to Watch the 'John Wick' Movies in Chronological Order

If you just want to stick to the movies, the John Wick chronology is identical to the release order. This means you can watch John Wick through to John Wick: Chapter 4 and be caught up on the whole story thus far.

However, if you add The Continental to the mix, the order changes a bit. The miniseries is set before the events of John Wick, so you’ll want to start there to watch in the proper chronological order.

Entry	Release	Where to Watch
The Continental: From the World of John Wick	2023	Peaco*ck
John Wick	2014	Tubi
John Wick: Chapter 2	2017	Tubi
John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum	2019	Tubi
Ballerina	2025	TBA
John Wick: Chapter 4	2023	Starz

Are They Making 'John Wick 5'?

While Ballerina is the fifth John Wick movie, a proper Chapter 5 is in development. We don't currently have a release date or any plot details, however. Originally, it and Chapter 4 were supposed to be filmed back-to-back, but director Chad Stehelski wanted a break between them.

Along with Chapter 5, producers are also developing other spinoffs similar to Ballerina. The first would bring back Caine, Donnie Yen's character from Chapter 4, and follow directly from that installment.

Producers are also already exploring a possible sequel for Ballerina and separate projects. One will include Sofia (Halle Barry) and Tracker (Shamier Anderson), and another may provide some backstory for the Bowery King (Laurence Fishburne).

Other discussed (but unlikely) projects include crossovers with Atomic Blonde and Nobody.
