The official synopsis for the series reads: “In an alternate history 1970s, the series follows Winston Scott as he came to his position as proprietor of the New York branch of ‘The Continental’ chain of hotels, safe havens for legal assassins on the grounds of which no business may ever take place.
“It explores variations on real-world events, including the Winter of Discontent and the American Mafia’s rise to economic power.”

Charon: Ayomide Adegun
Ayomide Adegun plays Charon, an assistant in the Continental Hotel’s hierarchy who is seen as The Continental’s concierge in the John Wick franchise.

The Continental marks Adegun’s first TV acting gig and he’s set to make his film debut later this year in The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.
