Three episodes into "Warrior‘s" freshman run, Cinemax has given an official second-season renewal to the Tong Wars drama series from Justin Lin and "Banshee" co-creator Jonathan Tropper.

Created by Tropper, based on the writings of martial arts legend Bruce Lee, "Warrior" is the first internally developed Cinemax series under its new programming direction for fun, adrenalized fare.

The cable network currently airs about four original series a year, three of them co-productions (or very cost-effective) and one marquee homegrown show with a Banshee-size budget tailored to the Cinemax audiences, the category "Warrior" falls in.




“Bruce Lee’s vision is alive and well,” said Len Amato, president of HBO Films, Miniseries and Cinemax Programming.

“Warrior combines high-energy martial arts with wit and brains. We’re thrilled to renew such a great show for a second season on Cinemax.”
