What will season 3 be about? Watch the trailer here
Warrior season 2 ended with a cliffhanger that left two particular plot threads lingering. They will likely be addressed in the new season of the show. On the one hand, we saw that the imprisoned Zing had broken out of his confines. Since he is the leader of the Fung Hai Tong, this incident would shake up the ongoing Tong wars considerably. On the other hand, the fact that Ah Sahm is Mai Ling's brother becomes publicly known to everyone near the end of season 2. This is expected to have adverse repercussions on inter-tong politics with the advent of season 3.
In Warrior season 3, viewers will be taken on an intense journey through the Tong Wars in San Francisco's Chinatown in the late 19th century. It will delve into the aftermath of the race riots that shook Chinatown in season two. We will see Mai Ling utilize her government powers to seize the opportunity to consolidate her position, while Ah Sahm and the Hop Wei will face the daunting challenge of finding new ways to survive in these tumultuous times.
Who can we expect to see in the new season?
Season 3 of Warrior brings back Andrew Koji in the role of Ah Sahm, a talented martial arts prodigy who embarks on a journey from China to San Francisco, only to become an enforcer for Chinatown's most influential gang. He is joined by Olivia Cheng as Ah Toy, Chinatown's renowned courtesan; Jason Tobin as Young Jun, the indulgent son of an influential tong leader; Dianne Doan as Mai Ling, an ambitious woman who rose to authority within one of the tongs; Kieran Bew as Officer "Big Bill" O'Hara, an Irish cop who has been appointed to establish a Chinatown unit; and Dean Jagger as Dan Leary, the father of San Francisco's Irish community and the leader of the Workingmen's Party.
