WARRIOR Is Now Streaming On Netflix. Binge It. Tell Your Friends. Binge It Again. Repeat.
The wait is over, people.
It’s been nearly two months since Netflix acquired the hit Tong crime drama series, Warrior. As of today, Friday, you can now stream all three current seasons of the show to your delight.
More importantly, the goal is to help guarantee that the former Cinemax and Max streaming drama has a future with more seasons. If blurbs from the cast and past reports are any hint, that means streaming the series as often as possible, and spreading the word to get those numbers up to let Netflix know this show deserves a continuation.
Filled with complex characters, and brimming with crackling dialogue, powerful messaging and ballistic action and stunts, Warrior serves as the brainchild of screen legend Bruce Lee, once a concept birthed fifty years ago and revived by Shannon Lee and co-creators Justin Lin and Jonathan Tropper.
Set in the late 1800s, central to the story is martial artist Ah Sahm (Andrew Koji, Bullet Train), freshly arrived to San Francisco from Foshan on a mission to find his sister, only to find himself thrust into a world where machinations of political, racial and gangland unrest constantly threaten to fill the streets with bodies and blood.
Warrior also stars Olivia Cheng, Jason Tobin, Hoon Lee, Kieran Bew, Rich Ting, Perry Yung, Joe Taslim, Henry Yuk, Dianne Doan, Joanna Vanderham, Dean Jagger, Emily Child, Tom Weston-Jones, Langley Kirkwood, Dustin Nguyen, Jenny Umbhau, Christian McKay, and James Lew. From season one through three, the show also features key recurring and guest performances by Chen Tang, Michael Bisping, Kenneth Fok, Céline Buckens, Miranda Raison, Maria-Elena Laas, Nat Ramabulana, Gaosi Raditholo, Mark Dacascos, Chelsea Muirhead, Telly Leung, and even the show’s action director, Brett Chan.
Reception to this show has been massive as well, bringing high demand to television for martial arts action and drama, coupled with the increasing spotlight on AAPI stories and representation in entertainment. Co-contributor Kyle Wong even penned a great deal about this and more on the series and its impact on this platform, and you can dive into his episodic musings here.
On that note, and frankly, the cast of Warrior has been pounding the pavement to promote the series themselves while Netflix hasn’t really lifted a finger on the PR front. Alas, there’s only one thing left to do, and that is, stream Warrior right now, and demand Netflix know and acknowledge that you and the fandom want more seasons!
