When will 'Warrior' Season 2 return? Here's what to expect from Bruce Lee-inspired show

'Warrior' Season 1 impressed audiences with its brilliant portrayal of what Chinatown looked like in the 1870s when immigrants from the Asian country ended up signing off their lives and loyalty to different Tongs in San Francisco. Following the success of the first season, the show was renewed for a second season and is all set to return to screens too. 

Where we left off

Last we saw, Ah Sahm, the young man who had arrived in San Francisco in search of his sister Mai Ling, realized that his attempts to rescue his sister were wasted as she is not at a place where she wants to be. She has got a taste of power as the wife of Long Zii, head of the Long Zii Tong. She left her abusive husband back in China, after being forced to marry him to save her brother's life, and now, Mai Ling is not ready to do anything that would even remotely lead her back to being helpless like in the past. In fact, this is exactly what she had said to her brother Ah Sahm when he had arrived in search of her. Her greed for power is so acute that she even managed to kill her husband and brought on a war between two powerful Tongs leading to a war that results in the loss of many lives. After losing to Long Zii's Tong in a duel it resulted in Mai Ling getting permission to run the opium trade in her Tong. After being kicked out, Ah Sahm does find a way back into Hop Wei, but is he really going to work with a Tong that has ill-feelings for his sister's Tong?

What we'd like to see

Definitely more fights that are shot brilliantly. Beyond that, we would like to see Ah Sahm and Mai Ling have a confrontation that will out both of them on opposing sides strictly with not an inkling of sibling love left. Not after the events that took place in the first season of the show. Then we would also like to see moments that capture Young Jun and Ah Sahm's bond, through witty remarks and stunningly choreographed fights. However, we would mainly like to see the conflict between the Irish and the Chinese come to head in the next season. The fact that Chinatown is running the opium trade, cutting business off from the Irish is something that will be addressed in the upcoming season. However, what about Ah Sahm's brewing hatred for his sister? How will that play into the grander scheme of things in the show is something that we would love to see. 

When is it returning

The second season of 'Warrior' consisting of 10 episodes will return to Cinemax on October 2 and will air at 10 pm ET every week.
