Warrior Season 2 Trailer, Cast, News, and Everything You Need to Know

Warrior season 2 has a trailer, and will arrive on Cinemax in October.

Warrior Season 2 is officially set at Cinemax!

Warrior is a period piece action drama set against the backdrop of the brutal Tong Wars of San Francisco’s Chinatown in the second half of the 19th century. The series centers around Ah Sahm (Andrew Koji), a Chinese immigrant martial arts prodigy who arrives in San Francisco under mysterious circumstances. After proving his worth as a fighter, Ah Sahm finds a place for himself as a hatchet man for the Hope Wei, one of Chinatown’s most powerful Tongs (organized crime family).

Warrior comes from executive producer Jonathan Tropper, who co-created Cinemax’s 2013-2016 crime drama, Banshee. Handwritten story notes by Bruce Lee (provided by the screen legend’s daughter Shannon) served as the show’s basis. The result has been a genre-blending series that combines classic martial arts action with a dramatic peak TV flair.

Warrior is a production of Cinemax through Perfect Storm Entertainment. Creator Jonathan Tropper serves as executive producer via Tropper Ink Productions, joined in that capacity by Justin Lin (Star Trek Beyond, Fast Five) via Perfect Storm Entertainment and Shannon Lee via Bruce Lee Entertainment.
