Bruce Lee continues to contribute to the world of martial arts, as his writings serve as the inspiration for the cult TV show Warrior. But with a new home and with viewers looking for some good summer TV, perhaps Warrior season 3 can reach new heights.
Warrior was originally conceived by Bruce Lee, the martial arts master who famously starred in The Green Hornet, Enter the Dragon and more before tragically passing away at 32. Working off an original treatment from Lee, Jonathan Tropper created the series, with Lee's daughter Shannon Lee serving as an executive producer, in 2019. The Fast & Furious franchise regular Justin Lin is also a part of the show as an executive producer.
Longtime fans of the show are certainly excited for its return. But whether you've been with it from the beginning or interested in starting to watch the series now, here is everything you need to know about Warrior season 3.

How to watch Warrior

If you want to catch up with the first two seasons, a Max subscription covers that. But if you want to try the show before you buy another streaming service, the first two seasons are streaming on the free, ad-supported service The Roku Channel.
