Cinemax has given a 10-episode straight-to-series order to 19th century crime drama Warrior, inspired by an idea from Bruce Lee, created and executive produced by Banshee co-creator Jonathan Tropper
“Warrior follows in the spirit of the tradition of adrenalized Cinemax dramas that we established with Strike Back and Banshee,” said Antholis, listing the network’s two most successful original series to date. “We are brimming with excitement for this unique martial arts series combining Bruce Lee’s inspired conception with the immense storytelling talents of Jonathan Tropper and Justin Lin.”
Warrior is described as a gritty, action-packed crime drama set during the brutal Tong Wars of San Francisco’s Chinatown in the second half of the 19th century. The series 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 tongs (Chinese organized crime family).
“As a show that proudly bears the imprimatur of Bruce Lee, it’s our intention to deliver not only explosive martial arts action – which we will – but also a powerful and complex immigration drama that is as relevant today as it was in the 1870s,” says Tropper.
the Banshee fights were great, and that fucking hot native american chick.
Hell yes, Nola Longshadow was the real deal ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Really miss Banshee dammit, one of the rare action-based shows done properly (minus that awkward flashback-ridden S04 as the others have mentioned ). Perfect pacing, no bullshits, with enough grit and weekly doses of mammaries.
If this is from the same showrunners of Banshee then I'm not wasting my time with it. The fuckers rushed Banshee to its end prematurely with a very medicore final season because they wanted to release a new series (Quarry), which itself ended up being pretty good and then got cancelled after only 1 season.
