"If Bruce Lee hadn't written down those eight pages about the Chinese-American experience in the 1800s, which was the foundation of Warrior, I wouldn't be here right now," says series lead Andrew Koji.

..."When the historical martial arts drama Warrior was canceled after two seasons by Cinemax due to Covid-related shutdowns, it looked like that was the end of the road for the series. But then the streaming service Max, which had previously picked up those first two seasons for its platform, renewed the show for a third season of expertly choreographed gang warfare set against the backdrop of San Francisco's Chinatown.
Warrior follows Ah Sahm, played by Andrew Koji, a martial artist who emigrates to the United States in the late 1870s in search of his missing sister, and is soon drawn into the underground world of the tongs, an array of clashing gangs and secret societies formed by Chinese immigrants.
The show has earned favorable comparisons to other gangster period pieces like Peaky Blinders and Boardwalk Empire from critics, and Season 3 has now kicked off on Max, making this the perfect time to get into Warrior from the beginning."...
