Warrior Renewed for Season 3; Former Cinemax Series Moving to HBO Max
Warrior is still alive and kicking. The martial arts drama, which aired its first two seasons on Cinemax, is relocating to HBO Max for Season 3, TVLine has learned.
This news comes more than a year after Cinemax confirmed that it was ceasing production on original programming.
“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 [executive producers] Jonathan [Tropper], Justin [Lin] and Shannon [Lee] will bring to the next chapter of this series on HBO Max,” Casey Bloys, Chief Content Officer for HBO and HBO Max said in a statement.
Adds Lee, “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!”
Based on the writings of martial arts icon Bruce Lee, Warrior is set during the Tong Wars of San Francisco’s Chinatown in the late 19th century. The first two seasons are now available to stream on HBO Max.
In addition to Koji, Warrior‘s second season starred Kieran Bew, Celine Buckens, Olivia Cheng, Dianne Doan, Dean Jagger, Langley Kirkwood, Maria-Elena Laas, Hoon Lee, Christian McKay, Dustin Nguyen, Miranda Raison, Chen Tang, Joe Taslim, Jason Tobin, Joanna Vanderham, Tom Weston-Jones and Perry Yung.

Best news of the Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The day? The month, at the very least.
This old duck is very much looking forward to more of them onions on tha tellyboxen.
Oh heck yeah! This is so unexpected and I am PUMPED. It’s such an excellent show and I really thought there was no hope for it.
OMG this is awesome! I hope everyone comes back!
This is really good news. I love this series.
YES!!!! I just watched the first two seasons of Warrior on HBO Max…best news of the day.
Hope the third season will be a bit happier as the second one was filled with so many deaths it is impossible to count them all. Give them some loving and peace in the new season, please. And more time to Tom Weston Jones, please.
I was going to watch this but, thought that it was cancelled. Looks like I have a show to get caught up on now.
Even if it had stayed cancelled, or in TV limbo, and even though it ended Season 2 on a fair few cliffhangers, this amazing series is worth watching for anyone who likes history, martial arts, or just plain old excellence in story-telling and production.
There is very little on TV at the moment that comes up to this standard.
Excellent!!! I LOVED Banshee, but only just started Warrior less than a week ago! I was already dreading that it may only be a two season show. It’s so good
Glad to see this!
This is great news! Love this show
The last I checked Warrior was not looking good for a season 3, then I read this……made my freakin day!!! This series is absolutely hands down the best TV out there…..the cast are awesome, each and every one of them. Cannot wait to see Zing bust outta jail and show up in Chinatown ready reform the Fung hai….man so many story lines yet to be finished……this will be epic. Do you get me!
Hell Yeaa!!!
Glad Warrior is back . Hopefully it. Will be on HBO also
So excited to hear this! Fantastic show, legacy of Bruce Lee, spotlights an untold time/place of American history, super relevant against backdrop of today’s world…this really should have been a no-brainer for HBO Max. Can’t wait for season 3.
This is AWESOME news . . . I LOVE this show!!!! . . .now I can actually look forward to exciting to watch! .. that definitely will not disappoint!!! The acting, action, and of course inspiration by Bruce Lee is an amazing event!!!
I was late to the game of “Warrior” on Cinamax till it started on HBO max. Once I read about it I was hooked. Once I started to watch it, I could not stop. So glad it’s renewed!!! Bruce Lee was and is and always will be my hero. From Green Hornet to Enter the Dragon and beyond. The affect on the world he has had and still has makes our world a better place to live. I can’t wait to see more.
