Bruce Lee's posthumous work "Warrior" will be adapted into an American TV series and released this year.

Last year, Cinemax's late-night show planned to adapt Kung Fu master Bruce Lee's posthumous script "Warrior" into an American TV series, and this year the plan was implemented in full swing. The 10-episode action crime drama will premiere this year.

Trailer for Warrior:

According to Cinemax, "Warrior" will be a solid and vivid action drama rooted in the brutal struggle of San Francisco's Chinatown at the end of the last century. The protagonist of the series is called Ah Sahm, a martial arts genius who immigrated from China to San Francisco with a mysterious life story. It tells the story of his role as a thug for one of the gangs in power in Chinatown. At that time, "Warrior" only created one pilot episode, and later Bruce Lee's daughter discovered a large number of manuscripts of the show when she was watching the relics.

The series will be directed by Bruce Lee's daughter Shannon Lee, and will also feature veteran film and television producers Justin Lin (Fast & Furious) and Jonathan Tropper.

“I’ve always admired Bruce Lee’s pioneering efforts to provide Asian Americans with opportunities to enter the entertainment industry and even higher social circles,” Lin explained. “So when they told me they were going to make a posthumous film about this legendary star who never made it to television, I was intrigued.”
