Kingsman: The Secret Service kicked off a mega franchise that was just getting started. In addition to various theatrical offshoots, a TV series is also in the works – but first comes the prequel “The King’s Man”.
With “Kingsman: The Secret Service”, director Matthew Vaughn (“Kick-Ass”) not only picked up comic book enthusiasts, but also agent film fans – which was ultimately reflected in the success of the film and its sequel “Kingsman 2: The Golden Circle ”reflected. So it is hardly surprising that the British super agents are still a long way from obsolete.

Lee Unwin (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), a direct ancestor of Eggsy, who will follow in his footsteps a century later, will also play a decisive role …
Also includes: Statesman spin-off, TV series & more
In “The Golden Circle” we already got to know the so-called Statesman, the US faction of the organization (played by Channing Tatum and Pedro Pascal, among others), who will also get their own film.
But a “statesman” spin-off is far from over: Just recently, writer and director Matthew Vaughn revealed that seven (!) More films are currently being worked on in the “Kingsman” universewith which the agent universe should be expanded in different directions. Whether all of these will ultimately be implemented will probably depend on the success of the upcoming prequel.

It has also been known for a long time that the Kingsmen’s cinema adventures will soon be supplemented by a “Kingsman” series. However, there are no further details so far.
