In a disappointing turn of events, the action-crime-drama series ‘Warrior’ which was revived by Max in 2021, after it was cancelled by its original home Cinemax, has been cancelled again as streaming service has decided not to renew the show after the current season, which is its first on Max and third overall.
However, it was not all sour as Netflix has acquired the rights to stream all three seasons of the show from February 2024 in a non-exclusive deal. While the future of the show may be uncertain, it still is a good show to watch and one of the best when it comes to action series revolving around martial arts.
Warrior stars Andrew Koji as Ah Sahm, a Chinese martial arts expert who travels to 1870s San Francisco in search of his sister (Dianne Doan) and is conscripted into the city’s Tong Wars.The cast also includes other big names like Olivia Cheng, Jason Tobin, and Chen Tang.
Warrior is set in set during the brutal Tong Wars of San Francisco’s Chinatown in the second half of the 19th century. The series follows Ah Sahm (Andrew Koji), a martial arts prodigy who emigrates from China to San Francisco under mysterious circumstances and becomes a hatchet man for one of Chinatown’s most powerful tongs also known as a Chinese organized crime family.
