Cinemax hit series which has now moved to HBO Max is getting ready to go into production this Spring as Bruce Lee-inspired WARRIOR has set a production start date for Season 3.
The third season of WARRIOR is officially scheduled to begin filming on July 18, 2022, in Cape Town, South Africa. The ten-episode third season can be expected to complete production by January 2023. Creator Shannon Lee revealed this news by sharing a video on different social media sites. You can watch the video above. For more production news, you can also visit PRODUCTION INSIGHTS.
Last year in an interview, Andrew Koji confirmed that Season 3 will begin filming at the earliest by Spring or Summer 2022. Now, it seems to be the case that it is beginning at the expected time. Creators Justin Lin, Jonathan Tropper, and Shannon Lee have already confirmed that WARRIOR season 3 will premiere in 2023 on HBO Max.
Earlier, the production was delayed due to cast commitments to other projects, as they didn't expect the third season when Cinemax refused to produce. WARRIOR was also not very popular before its arrival on HBO Max in January 2021. As soon as it became very popular on the streamer, HBO Max acquired and renewed it for another season. HBO Max will be producing season 3 along with Perfect Storm Entertainment, Bruce Lee Entertainment, and Tropper Ink Productions.
Andrew Koji, Kieran Bew, Celine Buckens, Dean Jagger, Maria-Elena Laas, Langley Kirkwood, Olivia Cheng, Miranda Raison, Dianne Doan, Hoon Lee, Jason Tobin, Christian McKay, Dustin Nguyen, Chen Tang, Joe Taslim, Joanna Vanderham, Tom Weston-Jones, and Perry Yung are set to return in the third season.
In Warrior Season 2 finale, Mai Ling seeks an audience with Young Jun, revealing in desperation that Ah Sahm is her brother. Young Jun, stunned, confronts Ah Sahm, causing a rift between them. Young Jun sees that Ah Sahm was in an impossible circumstance and even forgives him after hearing his story, but he wonders if Ah Sahm still has feelings for his sister. Ah Sahm pays a visit to Leary's bar and challenges him to a fight. After exchanging blows, Ah Sahm defeats Leary and warns the Irish not to set foot in Chinatown.
Outraged by Jacob's death and Buckley's manipulations, Penelope swears to expose his corruption at whatever cost, prompting the acting mayor to take her to a mental hospital after he accuses her of stabbing him. Mai Ling blackmails Buckley with a photo of him in the Confederate Army; he gives in to her demands and has Hop Wei's operations halted by the city council. While doing so, Leary enters and asserts his position as the Irish Workingmen's leader.
