Warrior editor wants to see show “rise from the ashes” for season 4

Warrior, as I keep saying, is one of the best show on TV that nobody is watching. Based on an idea from Bruce Lee, it’s a period drama about Chinese gang wars in San Francisco in the 1870s. The characters are great, the actors are great, the story is well-told, and the action scenes are spectacular. The first three seasons are available now on Max and I encourage everyone to watch them.

Part of the reason for that is because I want a fourth season, and the more people who watch the first three, the better the chances that I get one. Unfortunately, I don’t feel like I’m hearing much buzz about the show, excellent as it is. Still, Warrior has been here before. It started life on Cinemax, where it ran for two terrific, underseen seasons. Then it appeared to be dead, but Max — then HBO Max — brought it back to life.

We now may be entering another period of uncertainty, but the cast and crew are hoping for the best. That includes Tessa Verfuss, who worked as an editor on the show’s second season. “Oh, it was such great news to know it was coming back,” she told Screen Rant. “Season 3, I feel like the storytelling really took it to another level, as well, and so everyone’s kind of now holding their breath and seeing what happens next.”

"But, yeah, we’ve gone through the bumpy ride of thinking we were done, then a couple of years later, having it sort of rise from the ashes. So, whatever happens next, we’ve had to hold our breath for a long time before, so if we have to hold our breath for a long time again, then that’s what will happen."

Warrior editor is ready to wait for season 4 renewal

Warrior star Andrew Koji (Ah Sahm) is also hopeful that the show can return. Speaking ahead of the season 3 premiere earlier this year, he said he has a “gut feeling” that “we got a very good chance” for season 4.

That said, it’s pretty much in the hands of Warner Bros. Discovery now. If you love the show and want to make it known to the decision-makers that you want another season, consider signing this petition! As for Tessa Verfuss, you can see her editing work in Netflix’s live-action remake of One Piece, which just dropped on the service.
