John Wick prequel series The Continental has boosted its ranks with five new faces.
Joining Mel Gibson's Cormac, Colin Woodell's Winston Scott and Peter Greene's Uncle Charlie, it's been confirmed via ComicBook that Katie McGrath (Supergirl), Ray McKinnon (Deadwood), Adam Shapiro (Sense8), Mark Musashi (Fear the Walking Dead) and Marina Mazepa (Malignant) will all walk this assassins' playground.
McGrath replaces Asia Kate Dillon as The Adjudicator – the show is set 40 years prior to the events of John Wick afterall – while Shapiro and McKinnon take on the roles of Lemmy and Jenkins.

As for what fans can expect from The Continental, a synopsis teases how it'll "explore the origin behind the hotel-for-assassins, which increasingly has become the centrepiece of the John Wick universe.

Lionsgate TV boss Kevin Beggs previously revealed: "How we've approached this first season is as three essentially 90-minute events which you could construe as a limited series or a limited event series."
The Continental has yet to receive a release date. The John Wick movies are available to buy or rent on Amazon Prime Video, plus DVD, Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD.
