A John Wick spinoff, American Horror Story, and more new TV this week
It’s fall! Movies are back, but movies are also on TV — just not how you’d think.
This week marks the premiere of The Continental, a Peacock show set in the John Wick universe, which details the origins of the Continental hotel (at least as we know it).

Also like the movies, it might be a little longer than you expect — each of The Continental’s three episodes is closer to feature-film length than that of a typical TV show.
That’s just one of many heavy hitters coming to TV soon. This week will also see the premiere of American Horror Story: Delicate, which has big Rosemary’s Baby vibes (with a classic Ryan Murphy twist, of course). Sex Education returns for its fourth — and, sadly, last — season. Love Is Blind is here to once again make us all ponder what really happens in those pods.
