How to watch the 'John Wick' movies in order online

Watching all the "John Wick" movies online is well worth your time. I once watched them all on flights to and from Hawaii and I had zero regrets. The first "John Wick" movie may be one of the greatest movies ever made — it's personally in my top 4 — and the rest are action movie masterclasses.

Unfortunately, unless you're on a plane, streaming all four movies is a little difficult. It used to be easy — the first three movies are often bundled together on the same streaming service (currently Hulu). But to watch "John Wick: Chapter 4," you'll need to get a Starz subscription or rent it from a video-on-demand service.

Still, watching the "John Wick" movies online is easier than, say, watching James Bond movies online, watching the "Fast & Furious" movies in order or watching the Marvel movies in order. So without further ado, here's how to watch the "John Wick" movies in order online

How to watch the 'John Wick' movies in order online

Aside from "John Wick: Chapter 4," all you need to watch the entire "John Wick" universe is Hulu. For $9.99 per month (with ads) or $18.99 per month (no ads), you can watch the first three "John Wick" movies right now.

However, we recommend going with the Disney Plus Bundle rather than just Hulu. The Disney Bundle Duo Basic is the same $9.99 per month as Hulu (with ads) but also gives you Disney Plus) with ads. It's literally two streaming services for the price of one.

For "John Wick: Chapter 4,", you're going to need to add a Starz subscription. While Starz currently isn't currently on our list for the best streaming services, it does have a deep library of TV shows and movies. 

If you're getting Starz to watch "John Wick: Chapter 4," I also recommend watching the "Spartacus" TV series. Seasons 1 and 2 are must-watch TV for anyone who loves a violent, action-packed historical drama.

Finally, if you want to watch the spin-off TV series "The Continental: From the World of John Wick," you'll need Peacock. But don't feel obligated to watch it. The movies are far better. This show is really for completionists only.

We first met retired hitman John Wick (Keanu Reeves) back in 2014, when he was still grieving the loss of his wife Helen (Bridget Moynahan), possibly the only character from these movies to die from natural causes. John's love for Helen was so powerful that it caused him to force his way out of the assassination industrial complex. But before Helen passed, she had made arrangements for John to be sent a puppy (a beagle named Daisy) — and asked that he accept her death and find peace. 

This didn't go that well, because of one Iosef Tarasov (Alfie Allen), son of Viggo Tarasov (Michael Nyqvist), who really wanted to buy John's Ford Mustang Boss 429. Wick said it wasn't for sale, the two exchanged some unpleasantries in Russian, and this led Iosef and his goons to break into John's house, beat him up, destroy some of his property and kill Daisy. 

Then, Mr. Wick proved why Iosef had just made the mistake of his life. Out of retirement, John Wick embraces the skills that made him infamous.

How to watch 'John Wick: Chapter 2' online

So, after having gotten his hands dirtied again, Mr. Wick returned in "John Wick: Chapter 2," complete with his Boss 429 Mustang. And while he's not for revenge, Wick's on the scene because of an owed debt. It turns out John asked the wrong favor of the wrong man to escape the business, as crime boss Santino D'Antonio (Riccardo Scamarcio) cashes in a blood-tinted medallion (called a marker). John, trying to honor Helen's wish to find peace, declines. He claims he's retired.

Santino doesn't let John stay out so easily, though, and once John relents, he learns that he's going to have to kill Santino's sister, Gianna (Claudia Gerini). Santino wants her dead so he can take her seat at the High Table, the group of 12 top-tier crime bosses. This means we get a trip to Rome, but the bad news for John is that Gianna's got the protection of Cassian (Common), a capable bodyguard.

Oh, and Santino isn't to be trusted either.

How to watch 'John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum' online

We won't spoil why, but John Wick enters the third movie in the series in a state of being excommunicated. But because this is a John Wick movie, we note he's been labeled as "excommunicado." On the run and trying to stop the tails of hitmen on his trail, John heads to the Ruska Roma crime syndicate to try and get help. At the same time, a representative from the High Table tells Wick's allies at The New York Continental — the hotel for assassins — that they're all getting fired for helping Wick in "Chapter 2."

John then seeks the help of someone above The High Table, because (surprise!) there is a higher power. Chaos continues as Wick and his allies deal with trouble from all angles, all while Wick looks to keep the memories of the love he shared with Helen.

How to watch 'John Wick: Chapter 4' online

If it wasn't for the original, "John Wick: Chapter 4" would be the best "John Wick" movie. It's a tour de force of action set pieces, hand-to-hand combat and vengeance. The addition of Donnie Yen to the franchise is also a stroke of genius.

Unfortunately, "John Wick: Chapter 4" also somewhat undoes everything that happened in "John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum." In fact, because this movie exists you could probably skip the third installment entirely, though I argue it's very much still worth watching. Without spoiling things, there's a new person in command of the High Table and they have only one mission on their mind — kill John Wick.

How to watch 'The Continental: From the World of John Wick' online

If you are a "John Wick" super fan, Peacock also has a new "John Wick" TV show. There's no Keanu Reeves in "The Continental: From the World of John Wick," but there are still some familiar names in this three-part miniseries. The show stars Colin Woodell as a young Winston Scott (portrayed by Ian McShane in the "John Wick" movies) in 1970s New York City as he takes over the hotel that will one day give Keanu safe haven on more than one occasion. 

The show also stars Mel Gibson as Cormac, who runs The Continental before Winston takes over and Ayomide Adegun as Charon, the beloved hotel concierge (played by the late Lance Reddick in the movies). The show and Woodell both have big shoes to fill — perhaps too big — but the show doesn't lack the violence of the original films.
