“‘Warrior’ introduced viewers to a clear world from the past, executed with dynamic action and relevant storytelling, with a brilliant cast led by Andrew Koji,” said Casey Bloys, chief content officer of HBO and HBO Max. “We can’t wait to see what Jonathan, Justin and Shannon will bring to the next chapter of this series on HBO Max.”
‘Warrior’ was created by Jonathan Tropper and is executive produced under his banner by Tropper Ink Productions. Justin Lin, Danielle Woodrow and Andrew Schneider are also executive producers via Perfect Storm Entertainment along with Shannon Lee for Bruce Lee Entertainment.

“Justin, Jonathan and I were delighted when ‘Warrior’ was posted on HBO platforms to be discovered by a whole new legion of fans,” said Shannon Lee. “Now we are excited and grateful for the opportunity to do another season, and we welcome HBO Max because she understands the importance of telling this story and that we continue to support this level of representation in our industry. I just know that my dad is grinning now to see that this program he dreamed about so long ago continues to beat the odds. We plan to deliver the same high-meaning storytelling and Gung Fu action in season 3! ”
