Watch Order Guides

Every John Wick movie and series in order

The best order to watch John Wick is story order: start with The Continental, then John Wick, and finish with John Wick: Chapter 4. That's 6 films and series out so far, about 15 hours. Short on time? The 4 essentials take about 9 hours. In release order, John Wick starts with John Wick (2014).

The four John Wick films tell one story, so watch them in order. Ballerina takes place during Chapter 3 – Parabellum, so it fits between Chapter 3 and Chapter 4, and The Continental is set in the 1970s, decades before John Wick.

Only want John? The four main films are all you need.
