Warrior seasons 1-3 will reportedly be available on Netflix on February 16

Warrior, a historical martial arts drama based on an idea from the late Bruce Lee, started life on Cinemax, where it ran for two seasons before hopping over to Max for a third. Max canceled the show this past December, which came as a blow to fans everywhere. The news that we weren't going to get a fourth season of high-kicking, high-octane action drama was the worst Christmas present imaginable.

There is a bit of good news: rather than dumping Warrior entirely, the first three seasons of the show will stream on Netflix; there's already an entry for the show on the official Netflix site. You can set a reminder to be informed when it becomes available.

Moreover, What's On Netflix reports that Warrior will drop on Netflix on February 16th, 2024, so people won't have to wait long to check out this excellent series.

Will Netflix revive Warrior for season 4?

The hope is that new audiences who may have missed Warrior during its initial runs will now discover the series. "[T]hanks to Netflix, we’ve been given yet another lease on life, and I’m thrilled for everyone involved that millions more viewers around the world will discover it,” creator Jonathan Tropper told Deadline. Executive producer Shannon Lee, daughter of Bruce, also weighed in. "[M]y wish is that the huge global Netflix audience LOVESWarrior and from that Love more goodness flows – in the form of greater recognition for our talented cast and crew who deserve all the things, in the form of passionate fandom for this relevant kick ass show and, if I dare to dream, in the form of an opportunity to continue our story for our amazing fans who, thanks to Netflix, will have grown in number and enthusiasm!” she said.

Cast member Jason Tobin, who plays newly minted mob boss Young Jun, is also hoping for a revival. "Netflix, greenlight S4 before we're a humongous hit in your platform!" he tweeted.

Is that likely? It's true that Warrior will likely get seen by more people on Netflix than it did at Cinemax or Max. The subscriber base for Netflix is just so massive that it can super-charge interest in shows that otherwise might not get watched. That's something that Warner Bros. Discovery -- the company that operates Max — seems to have realized, as its also licensed HBO shows like Band of Brothers and Six Feet Under to run on Netflix, rather than keeping them entirely exclusive to Max.

I'd certainly be happy if Netflix brought Warrior, because the show is excellent and I want to see it continue. The cast and crew has proven that they deserve to keep doing what they're doing. We'll see how things go in February.
