The Martial Arts Crime Drama Series WARRIOR Renewed for Season 3 at HBO Max
The martial arts crime drama series Warrior has officially been renewed for a third season, and it will move from Cinemax to HBO Max. I’ve enjoyed this show, which is based on a story that was originally developed by martial arts legend Bruce Lee.
Warrior is a gritty, action-packed crime drama set during the brutal Tong Wars of San Francisco’s Chinatown in the late 19th century. The series follows “Ah Sahm (Andrew Koji), a martial arts prodigy who emigrates from China to San Francisco under mysterious circumstances. After proving his worth as a fighter, Ah Sahm becomes a hatchet man for the Hop Wei, one of Chinatown’s most powerful Tongs (Chinese organized crime family). Season two follows rival Chinatown Tongs as they fight for dominance amidst the growing anti-Chinese fervor that threatens to destroy them all.”
Warrior is created by and executive produced by Jonathan Tropper (Banshee), executive produced by Star Trek Beyond and Fast & Furious 9 director Justin Lin, and executive produced by Shannon Lee.
Casey Bloys, Chief Content Officer at HBO and HBO Max said in a statement: “Warrior introduced viewers to a distinct world from the past, executed with dynamic action and relevant storytelling, with a brilliant cast led by Andrew Koji. We can’t wait to see what Jonathan, Justin and Shannon will bring to the next chapter of this series on HBO Max.
Shannon Lee added: “Justin, Jonathan, and I were thrilled when Warrior was put on HBO platforms to be discovered by a whole new legion of fans. Now we are excited and grateful for the opportunity to do another season, and we applaud HBO Max for understanding the importance of telling this story and for continuing to support this level of representation in our industry. I just know that my father is grinning right now to see this show he dreamed of so long ago continuing to beat the odds. We have every intention of delivering the same high level of meaningful storytelling and Gung Fu action in Season 3.”
Have you been watching Warrior, and are you stoked to hear that we are going to be getting a third season?
