How Many John Wick Movies Are There?

There are five John Wick movies as of November 2026: four main films starring Keanu Reeves as the title assassin, plus one spinoff, From the World of John Wick: Ballerina (2025). A further main film, John Wick: Chapter 5, is in development at Lionsgate but has no release date. On television there is one series, The Continental, which Peacock released in 2023 as three feature length episodes. Counting theatrical releases only, the answer is four films plus one spinoff, and the John Wick movies hub shows them all in one grid. If you want the sequence to watch them in, the John Wick movies in order page lays out both the release order and the chronological order.

The four main John Wick movies were all directed by Chad Stahelski and all star Keanu Reeves. The series opens with John Wick (2014), which reached US theaters on October 24, 2014, runs 101 minutes and grossed about $86 million worldwide, according to Box Office Mojo. It introduces a retired hitman grieving his wife Helen, the puppy she arranged for him to receive, and Iosef Tarasov (Alfie Allen), the young gangster who steals John's classic car and kills the dog. That theft leads John back to Iosef's father, the crime boss Viggo Tarasov.

John Wick 2, formally John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017), followed on February 10, 2017 in the US. It runs 122 minutes, cost $40 million to make and earned about $174 million worldwide, according to Box Office Mojo. Production moved to Rome after New York, drawing on Italy's film incentives, as Screen Global Production reported in January 2016. The cast widened to include Common as Cassian, Laurence Fishburne as the Bowery King and Riccardo Scamarcio as Santino D'Antonio.

John Wick 3, formally John Wick: Chapter 3: Parabellum (2019), opened in the US and UK on May 17, 2019. With a 131 minute runtime and a $75 million budget, it grew well beyond the second film in scale and grossed about $328 million worldwide. The story starts with John declared excommunicado after killing a member of the High Table inside the Continental, and it sends him from Manhattan toward Casablanca. Halle Berry joins as Sofia and Mark Dacascos plays Zero.

John Wick 4, John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023), is the longest and biggest entry so far, with a 170 minute runtime, a $100 million budget and a worldwide gross of about $447 million, per Box Office Mojo. It opened on March 24, 2023, after Lionsgate moved it from an earlier May 2022 date. Donnie Yen plays Caine, a blind retired assassin and an old friend of John, and Bill Skarsgård plays the Marquis, the aristocrat the High Table sends after John once the Elder is dead in Morocco. The Paris location work included the Louvre and the Arc de Triomphe. Taken together, the four main films have grossed more than $1 billion worldwide, and the John Wick box office page breaks the figures down film by film.

Ballerina is the franchise's one spinoff film, and it is set during the events of Chapter 3 rather than before the first movie. From the World of John Wick: Ballerina (2025), directed by Len Wiseman, reached US theaters on June 6, 2025. Ana de Armas stars as Eve, an assassin raised in the Ruska Roma who hunts the cult responsible for her father's death, with Keanu Reeves, Ian McShane, Anjelica Huston, Gabriel Byrne and Norman Reedus in the cast. It runs 125 minutes and carried a $90 million budget, according to The Numbers, and it earned about $140 million worldwide, according to Box Office Mojo. TheWrap reported it as the first feature length spinoff and as Lance Reddick's final appearance as Charon.

Because the story runs alongside Chapter 3, Ballerina John Wick sits fourth in chronological order, between Chapter 3 and Chapter 4, even though it was released after Chapter 4. That split between release order and story order is why the watch order page keeps two lists.

You do not need all four main films before Ballerina, but Chapter 3 is the one that helps most. Unity Phelan appears as the Ballerina in Chapter 3, and Screen Daily noted that connection when Lionsgate dated the spinoff. Winston, Charon and the Director appear in both films, and John Wick himself turns up in Ballerina, so the Continental, the Ruska Roma and the rules of the High Table come up with little explanation. If you are short on time, watch Chapter 3 first. If you want every reference to land, start with John Wick (2014) and follow the release order. The John Wick characters page is a quick refresher on who is who, and the John Wick cast page shows who returns in each film.

Yes, The Continental: From the World of John Wick is the one TV series so far, a prequel miniseries that Peacock streamed on September 22, September 29 and October 6, 2023. It is set in New York City in 1975 and follows a young Winston Scott (Colin Woodell), with Mel Gibson as Cormac and Ayomide Adegun as a young Charon. Greg Coolidge and Kirk Ward are the writers and showrunners. Albert Hughes directed the first and third nights, and Charlotte Brandstrom directed the second. The project began at Starz and moved to Peacock in a deal announced in August 2022, with Lionsgate producing. Because it is a series and not a film, it stays out of the movie count, but it belongs in any list of John Wick universe movies and series. The John Wick timeline shows where 1975 sits against the films.

The latest John Wick movie is Ballerina, released June 6, 2025, and the next is John Wick: Chapter 5, which is in development with no release date. Lionsgate Motion Picture Group chair Adam Fogelson announced development at CinemaCon on April 1, 2025, and the studio's press release named Thunder Road, Keanu Reeves and Chad Stahelski as the partners. Reeves is the only confirmed cast member. Basil Iwanyk, Erica Lee, Stahelski and Reeves are credited as producers, according to TheWrap. Lionsgate has not announced a shoot date for Chapter 5.
