John Wick Movies in Order (Including Ballerina)
The John Wick saga is one continuous story told across four films, with each sequel picking up close to where the previous one ended. That makes the watch order easy — but the spin-off Ballerina adds one wrinkle worth knowing about.
The main films
- John Wick (2014) — The lean original. A dog, a car, and consequences.
- John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017) — Expands the Continental's world and its rules.
- John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum (2019) — Begins minutes after Chapter 2 ends.
- John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023) — The biggest and, for now, the conclusion of John's story.
Where does Ballerina fit?
- Ballerina (2025) — Set between Chapter 3 and Chapter 4; Ana de Armas leads, with familiar faces appearing.
Ballerina takes place between Parabellum and Chapter 4, so timeline purists can slot it there. But it was written to work after the main films too — watching in release order (all four Wicks, then Ballerina) is just as good, and arguably better since it preserves Chapter 4's momentum.
The short version
Watch in release order. The films chain together tightly, so avoid gaps between Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 in particular. The series often splits across services — the early films and the newest ones frequently stream in different places — so check each film on this site to see where the full saga sits in your country.
