How many John Wick moviesJohn Wick Movies: What the Series Is About
The John Wick movies follow a retired hitman who is dragged back into a hidden criminal world, and the series is built from four main films, one spinoff and one television prequel. If you are wondering how many John Wick movies there are, the answer is four main films plus one spinoff, with a fifth main film in development. Lionsgate is the studio behind the series, Keanu Reeves leads every main entry, and Chad Stahelski directed all four main films.
John Wick (2014), directed by Chad Stahelski, opened in US theaters on October 24, 2014 on a $20 million budget, according to Box Office Mojo, and earned about $86 million worldwide. The setup is simple. John is a retired hitman grieving his wife Helen, who arranged for a puppy to be delivered to him before she died so he would not be alone. Young Russian gangsters led by Iosef Tarasov break into his home, steal his classic car and kill the puppy, and John then learns that Iosef is the son of Viggo Tarasov, a crime boss John used to work for.
The sequels grew in scale with each release. John Wick 2 (2017) had a $40 million budget and earned about $174 million worldwide, and its crew moved to Rome after shooting in New York, a move Screen Global Production linked to Italy's film incentives. John Wick 3, titled John Wick: Chapter 3: Parabellum (2019), cost $75 million and earned about $328 million, with Halle Berry joining as Sofia. John Wick 4 (2023) cost $100 million, ran 170 minutes and earned about $447 million.
Put side by side, the numbers tell a clear story. The budget rose from $20 million to $100 million across the four main films, a fivefold increase, and the worldwide gross rose from $86 million to $447 million, which is a little more than fivefold. Chapter 4 brought Paris location work at the Louvre and the Arc de Triomphe, and TheWrap's interview with the film's cinematographer covers an overhead shot built in Germany and night for day sequences in Paris. For the full numbers, see John Wick box office.
The spinoff, Ballerina John Wick, is a different kind of entry. Directed by Len Wiseman and released in the US on June 6, 2025, it stars Ana de Armas as Eve, with Keanu Reeves, Ian McShane, Anjelica Huston and Gabriel Byrne in support. It is set during the events of Chapter 3, and it was first dated for June 7, 2024 before moving to 2025, according to Screen Daily. It had a $90 million budget and earned about $140 million worldwide. It also marks Lance Reddick's final appearance as Charon, according to TheWrap.
The Continental: From the World of John Wick is the television side of the series. It is a three part prequel miniseries that streamed on Peacock from September 22 to October 6, 2023, set in New York City in 1975, with Colin Woodell as a young Winston Scott and Mel Gibson as Cormac. Greg Coolidge and Kirk Ward wrote it and served as showrunners, Albert Hughes directed nights one and three, and Charlotte Brandstrom directed night two. It began life at Starz before moving to Peacock in a deal announced in August 2022, and Derek Kolstad is among its executive producers. The John Wick timeline shows where it sits against the films.

How Do I Watch the John Wick Movies in Order?
The simplest way to watch the John Wick movies is release order, which runs John Wick (2014), Chapter 2, Chapter 3, Chapter 4 and then Ballerina. Chronological order is almost identical, with one swap: Ballerina moves ahead of Chapter 4 because it takes place during the events of Chapter 3.
Release order:
- John Wick (2014)
- John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017)
- John Wick: Chapter 3: Parabellum (2019)
- John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023)
- Ballerina (2025)
Chronological order:
- John Wick (2014)
- John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017)
- John Wick: Chapter 3: Parabellum (2019)
- Ballerina (2025)
- John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023)
The Continental sits outside both lists as an optional extra. It is a television prequel set in 1975, decades before the films, so it comes first in story terms if you want to watch everything. Every film order begins with John Wick (2014), because the later films build directly on that story. The full guide, with a note on each film, is at John Wick movies in order, and the John Wick timeline lays out the events in sequence.
Is There a John Wick 5 Movie?
Yes, John Wick: Chapter 5 is in development at Lionsgate, but the studio has not announced a release date, a shoot date or any cast beyond Keanu Reeves. Its status is in development and its date is still to be confirmed.
The film was announced in stages. On March 11, 2025, Lionsgate executive Jenefer Brown said in an interview with The A.V. Club that the studio was working on a fifth John Wick film. On April 1, 2025, Lionsgate Motion Picture Group chair Adam Fogelson confirmed at CinemaCon that Chapter 5 is in development, and a Lionsgate press release named Thunder Road, Keanu Reeves and Chad Stahelski as the creative partners. Basil Iwanyk, Erica Lee, Chad Stahelski and Keanu Reeves are the confirmed producers, according to TheWrap.
So, is John Wick 4 the last? Chapter 4 is the most recent main film, but it is not the end of the series, because Chapter 5 is now in development. Any specific release year quoted elsewhere is unconfirmed, since Lionsgate has never published one. The latest status, cast and sourced rumors are tracked at John Wick 5, and official trailers for the released films are collected under John Wick 5 trailer as they appear.
