Speaking in a statement, Bloys remarked “Warrior introduced viewers to a distinct world from the past, executed with dynamic action and relevant storytelling, with a brilliant cast led by Andrew Koji. We can’t wait to see what Jonathan, Justin and Shannon will bring to the next chapter of this series on HBO Max.”

We have every intention of delivering the same high level of meaningful storytelling and Gung Fu action in season 3!”
