Fans of the hit martial arts drama Warrior got stellar news a while back when it was announced that the Cinemax series would indeed get a third season even though the cable station was halting production on original series.
Bruce Lee foundation president and daughter of the legendary martial arts star announced on Sunday that the third season has commenced filming as of July 18th to celebrate the legacy of Bruce Lee who passed away on July 20th. You can check out the special announcement video below!
“So you know how July twentieth is a very special date in the Bruce Lee legacy? It is the day my father passed away. Well this year, we get to celebrate him and his legacy in a really, really special way, but on July eighteenth instead of July twentieth” Lee stated before announcing the start of principal photography on July 18 for the series.
“Season three of Warrior, July eighteenth, the cameras start to roll!” Lee announced excitedly.
