September 24th 2024.
Unfortunately, after just three seasons, the beloved series Warrior has been cancelled. Any hopes for a revival of the show have been dashed, as one of the stars has confirmed that there will not be a fourth season. The Max series originally came to an end last year, but found a new home on Netflix US in February 2024. The plan was to see if the show would gain popularity on the platform, and potentially lead to its return.
This strategy has worked in the past for Netflix with shows like Gilmore Girls and Manifest, where a surge in viewership prompted the platform to bring back the series. However, despite being the 80th most-watched show in the first half of the year and racking up a quarter of a billion hours of viewing, Warrior unfortunately did not manage to rank in the top 10 for a sustained period of time. According to Forbes, this was not enough to secure future episodes.
Joe Taslim, who played Li Yong on the show, has confirmed that the third season, which aired last year, will be the last. In a heartfelt message on social media, the 43-year-old actor expressed his gratitude for the support and love from fans. He also acknowledged the impact that the show has had on viewers, stating that it goes beyond just entertainment.
Fans were devastated by Taslim's confirmation that Warrior will not be continuing. They praised the entire cast and crew for their outstanding work, with some even calling the show one of the best martial arts series ever. Some fans even considered starting a petition to get Netflix's attention and potentially bring back the show.
Despite its cancellation, Warrior has received impressive ratings on Rotten Tomatoes, with a 96% score from audiences and 93% from critics. The series, based on the writings of martial arts legend Bruce Lee, first aired in 2019. It is set in San Francisco's Chinatown during the late 19th century and follows the story of Chinese immigrant and martial arts prodigy Ah Sahm. As he becomes involved in brutal gang wars, Sahm is mentored by the son of a powerful crime family and becomes a hitman for them.
The Warrior fandom is known for their passion and dedication to the show, and there are still 30 episodes available for viewers to enjoy. The Agency has reached out to Netflix for comment on the cancellation. In the meantime, the series can still be watched on Amazon Prime Video.
