A three-night streaming event that dares to ask: How far would you go to escape Mel Gibson?
Debuting September 22, the three-part Peacock event stars Colin Woodell and Mel Gibson.
"He fit what we needed based on his film past," executive producer Albert Hughes said.
The "three-part event" premieres on Peacock September 2023.
Erica Lee promises that "The Continental" will explore questions such as: "What is the staff like? How do you get into The Continental? How are the gold coins made?"

The long-awaited origin story of the hotel for assassins in the popular action franchise, the most lucrative product from Lionsgate, will land at Peacock next year.
