The otherwise heartbreaking announcement stemming from last weekend’s cancellation of AMC’s Into The Badlands still adds on hope for a steady and fitting conclusion. The official series finale trailer is online and gearing fans up with what looks to be a spectacular bookend culminating three seasons of harrowing adventure, supernatural mystery, political peril and exhilirating kung fu action.
AMC’s hit television series, Into The Badlands, scored an epic follow-up last year with its second season, layered in tragedy and revelations that now shape forthcoming events that await for season three. Daniel Wu is back to lead the cast in prime fashion along with Aramis Knight for its April 22 premiere at 10:00 p.m. EST/PST, and the official trailer has finally arrived unleashing the usual onslaught of storied survival, deception, consequential upheaval and the cream filling of it all: chock-filled martial arts action madness!
Granted, if you haven’t seen the second season, you can catch seasons one and two on Netflix or where ever it is sold on digital or DVD. Season three once again sees Wu in the role of Sunny, rejoined by Bajie forced to journey back into the Badlands to save his son Henry after contracting a mysterious illness. When he arrives, new twists of fate will see him reconvening with The Widow, as will old enemies, to take out a looming threat in the form of a nomadic leader wishing to usher in a new era of “peace”.
Emily Beachem, Nick Frost, Eleanor Matsuura, Ally Ioannides, Stephen Lang, Orla Brady, Sherman Augustus all reprise their roles with new additions in Babou Ceesay, Lorraine Toussaint, Ella-Rae Smith, Lewis Tan and Dean-Charles Chapman.
The official trailer arrived over the weekend. Take a look if you fancy it!
