Max has canceled the Bruce Lee-inspired martial arts series Warrior after three seasons. This was an awesome show and it featured a great ensemble cast of actors. It was also one of the few shows that featured a huge Asian cast.
The series was based on the writings of Lee and the story is set during the brutal Tong Wars of San Francisco’s Chinatown in the late 19th century. It follows Ah Sahm, a martial arts prodigy who emigrates from China to San Francisco under mysterious circumstances. Ah Sahm “must choose between loyalty to his tong and commitment to his sister Mai Ling, ultimately facing a decision on what it truly means to be a Warrior. Meanwhile, the United States government escalates its persecution of Chinese immigrants forcing the leaders of the San Francisco tongs to fight for their piece of the American Dream, struggling to find a new way forward without tearing everything apart.”
While the series has been canceled, it’s been announced that the show will be coming to Netflix, where it is sure to find a whole new audience. If the series becomes a big hit on Netflix, who knows what will happen?
The cast of the series included Andrew Koji, Olivia Cheng, Jason Tobin, Dianne Doan, Kieran Bew, Dean Jagger, Tom Weston-Jones, Hoon Lee, Perry Yung, Langley Kirkwood, Miranda Raison, Chen Tang, Chelsea Muirhead, Mark Dacascos and Joe Taslim.
The show was created and executive produced by Jonathan Tropper (Banshee), and is also executive produced by Justin Lin (F9: The Fast Saga), Danielle Woodrow, and Andre Schneider. Shannon Lee also produces for Bruce Lee Entertainment.
