After two dreadful big-screen attempts, a live-action Hitman show penned by the creator of the John Wick movie series and other hard-hitting action hits seemed like a no-brainer, but Agent 47’s return wasn’t meant to happen… yet.
The Hitman TV series everyone had forgotten about is “dead in the water”, says John Wick creator Derek Kolstad

It’s always interesting to hear about projects that have had a rocky journey. The combination of the Hitman franchise with Derek Kolstad’s writing certainly had potential, even if it didn’t pan out. Thanks for sharing this update!
creative minds behind John Wick and Hitman certainly raised expectations. It’s a shame the series didn’t find its footing, especially since the video games have such rich storytelling potential. Perhaps a different approach or format could have done justice to the source material.
It really is disappointing, especially considering the potential for a deeper narrative in a TV format. With the right character development, a Hitman series could have explored the moral complexities of the profession much more fully. It’s always tough when a promising project doesn’t come to fruition.
I completely agree! A TV series could have explored the intricacies of the Hitman universe much more thoroughly. It’s a shame we won’t see how they could have developed the characters and backstory in a longer format.
