From Bruce Lee’s Vision to Netflix Revival
Originally conceived by the legendary Bruce Lee, “Warrior” has found a new home on Netflix. The series, developed by Jonathan Tropper and executive produced by Shannon Lee—Bruce Lee’s daughter—is set in the late 1870s and follows the journey of Ah Sahm, a martial arts prodigy who arrives in San Francisco in search of his sister. After facing cancellation, the show’s three seasons are now available for streaming, offering a chance for a fourth season revival.
Intricate Plot and Dynamic Characters
Centered around Ah Sahm’s adventures in a turbulent San Francisco, “Warrior” delves into gang wars and racial tensions. Andrew Koji shines as Ah Sahm, skillfully balancing homage to Bruce Lee with his own unique portrayal. The narrative explores themes of family, loyalty, and survival—as Ah Sahm navigates the complex landscape of inter-tong violence and societal challenges.
Exhilarating Action and High Production Values
Renowned for its breathtaking fight choreography and action sequences, “Warrior” stands out as one of the best martial arts series on television. The production’s attention to detail—from period-accurate sets and costumes to the talented cast of martial artists like Joe Taslim and Mark Dacascos—enhances the show’s immersive experience.
Anticipation for a Fourth Season
The move to Netflix has sparked hope for the continuation of “Warrior.” With a dedicated fanbase and newfound visibility on the largest streaming platform, there is potential for a fourth season that could provide a fitting conclusion to the story. Fans are encouraged to support the series on Netflix, as increased viewership may lead to the green-lighting of a final season—fulfilling Bruce Lee’s vision and offering a satisfying end to the series.

The Journey of “Warrior”: From Cancellation to Revival
Initially, “Warrior” faced cancellation when Cinemax ceased original content production in 2020—a decision influenced by the emergence of HBO Max, another WarnerMedia streaming service. Despite its success, the series couldn’t withstand the network’s strategic shift.
Yet, the story didn’t end there. Max breathed new life into “Warrior” with a third season in 2021. Now available on both Max and Netflix, the show’s popularity and critical acclaim have surged. Fans and critics alike are hopeful that Netflix will grant “Warrior” a fourth season, allowing it to continue its remarkable journey on the streaming platform.
