“Warrior” was created by and is executive produced by Jonathan Tropper under his Tropper Ink Productions banner. Justin Lin, Danielle Woodrow, and Andrew Schneider also executive produce via Perfect Storm Entertainment alongside Shannon Lee for Bruce Lee Entertainment.

“Justin, Jonathan, and I were thrilled when ‘Warrior’ was put on HBO platforms to be discovered by a whole new legion of fans,” Shannon Lee said. “Now we are excited and grateful for the opportunity to do another season, and we applaud HBO Max for understanding the importance of telling this story and for continuing to support this level of representation in our industry. I just know that my father is grinning right now to see this show he dreamed of so long ago continuing to beat the odds.
YES!!! This is an amazing show that is super relevant right now.
