Synopsis

Full of thrilling, action-packed drama, the second season of Cinemax’s Warrior finds competing Chinese tongs, the Hop Wei and the Long Zii, continuing their intense rivalry amidst increased anti-Chinese racism that is bringing Chinatown and the surrounding neighborhoods to a boil. As the two tongs fight for dominance, both face numerous outside threats, including from the brutal Fung Hai tong and its nihilistic leader Zing, the embittered Irish mob led by tough-as-nails bar owner Dylan Leary, and the hostile local government under self-serving Mayor Blake and his scheming deputy, Walter Buckley. After barely surviving last season’s disastrous showdown, Ah Sahm is back with the Hop Wei and determined to rain vengeance on Long Zii’s new leader, Mai Ling, who also happens to be his sister. As he pushes tong heir Young Jun into a new opium deal, Ah Sahm spends his nights honing his martial arts skills at a Barbary Coast fight pit while harboring ambitions to topple Hop Wei head Father Jun. Meanwhile, Mai Ling struggles to control her new-partner Zing and lover Li Yong, brothel madame Ah Toy continues to pursue a secret and violent agenda, middleman Chao plays multiple angles, socialite-turned-businesswoman Penny Blake works to keep her father’s factory open using Chinese labor, and debt-ridden police sergeant Bill O’Hara struggles to get out from the Fung Hai’s grip as his subordinate Lee grows suspicious. With power dynamics rapidly shifting and ultimate control of Chinatown at stake, it’s survival of the fittest for those left standing.
