Cinemax has handed out an early renewal to its period crime drama Warrior, with the show set to return for a second season next year.
Based on the writings of martial arts icon Bruce Lee and executive produced by Jonathan Tropper (Banshee) and Justin Lin (Fast & Furious), Warrior takes place during the brutal Tong Wars of San Francisco’s Chinatown in the second half of the 19th century and follows Ah Sahm, a martial arts prodigy who immigrates from China to San Francisco under mysterious circumstances and becomes a hatchet man for one of Chinatown’s most powerful gangs.
Warrior’s ten-episode first season premiered on Cinemax earlier this month, and features a cast that includes Andrew Koji, Olivia Cheng, Jason Tobin, Dianne Doan, Joanna Vanderham, Hoon Lee, Tom Weston-Jones, Kieran Bew, Dean S. Jagger, Christian McKay, Perry Yung, Joe Taslim, Langley Kirkwood, and Rich Ting.
