This fan has said it quite comprehensively. Personally, I’d love to see a continuation of the story instead of a reboot. I’d also love it if the series is set during the Purges. Let’s keep the discussion going until the series airs. Maybe Len will see this forum. ?

IKR. Awakening opens to lots of potential storylines. It has detective, thriller/conspiracy vibes, which is more interesting. I'd like for Underworld to develop more than just typical Vampire movies since humanity knowing about Vampires & Lycans. That's why MCU movies are successful coz' if its progressive, contemporary and relatable storylines. That's what Underworld writers should be aspired to. If not to the MCU level, at least it's John Wick level.

I never really watched the John Wick films, are they considered good?

That's how to make action movie. Not simply make the action bigger & stylish but deeper,more expanded world-building is necessary to make it more than just brainless action-flick.

Thank you so much for your recommendation, my fellow vampire/lycan/hybrid brethren!
I’ve just finished watching John Wick 1-2. Next year when John Wick 3 premières I will definitely check it out in the cinema!
The theme song for John Wick 2, Plastic Heart, is so kickass.
After I finished watching the John Wick movies, two ideas occurred to me.
1. The vampire coven sending out their top assassins to hunt down Selene for killing Elder Viktor would be a great Underworld movie that we never got to see.
2. Who would win, Keanu Reeves’ John Wick VS Angelina Jolie’s Salt? They’re both badass assassins. I’d love a John Wick VS Salt movie, a movie the world would never get to see. ?

Well, I only suggested John Wick coz' of awesome camerawork for the action scenes + practical effects + the deeper, more expanded world-building not unlike our world itself. These combos are why John Wick movies are more than just brainless action-flicks. And also, the budget for both movies are relatively low, and the directors involved were stuntmen (Chad Stahelski was Keanu Reeves' double in The Matrix trilogy) but they delivered finest entertainment quality as if made by those famous directors.
The world-building where it's just tiny bridge between reality and fantasy is important as it makes the movie relatable to us, therefore getting us more invested with the characters and the established universe. That's what Underworld creators should be aspired to for making the sequel/s appropriately entertaining.
John Wick vs Salt? How about John Wick vs Lorraine Broughton (Atomic Blonde)?
Now, instead of Vampire coven's assasin, how about secret alliance between Vampires & human armies/special forces/spies sent out to do whatever they want for world domination, population culling and all that shitty stuffs? But like you said, it's a movie we never got to see. Maybe it'll work better in future TV series?
