The teaser trailer’s only features 15 seconds of footage, but at least Warrior fans are finally getting an update on the much-anticipated third season. The Max Original drama will premiere with the release of the first three episodes of season three on June 29, 2023, two and a half years after the season two finale.
The critically acclaimed martial arts action drama debuted on Cinemax in April 2019. Season two followed in October 2020, wrapping up on December 4, 2020. Luckily, for those of us who need a refresher, the first two seasons of the show are available for binge-watching on HBO Max, which will soon be known as just “Max.”
Andrew Koji returns to lead the cast as Ah Sahm. Season three also features Dianne Doan as Mai Ling, Olivia Cheng as Ah Toy, Jason Tobin as Young Jun, and Joe Taslim as Li Yong. Hoon Lee stars as Wang Chao, Kieran Bew is Bill O’Hara, Dean Jagger is Dylan Leary, Langley Kirkwood is Walter Buckley, Tom Weston-Jones is Richard Lee, and Perry Yung is Father Jun.
Mark Dacascos, Chelsea Muirhead, Chen Tang, and Miranda Raison also star.
Warrior is based on writings by martial arts icon Bruce Lee and was created by Jonathan Tropper (Banshee). Tropper executive produces under his Tropper Ink Productions, and executive producer Evan Endicott is season three’s showrunner. Bruce Lee Entertainment’s Shannon Lee also executive produces along with Josh Stoddard, Brad Kane, Richard Sharkey, and Perfect Storm Entertainment’s Justin Lin (Fast & Furious 9 director), Danielle Woodrow, and Andrew Schneider.
HBO Max released this very basic description of the season three plot:
“In the wake of the race riots that upended Chinatown in season two, Mai Ling uses her government connections to consolidate power, while Ah Sahm and the Hop Wei must find new ways to survive.”
