Into the Badlands will air its third episode on AMC later tonight, and Daniel Wu is sharing his thoughts on the new martial drama that is making its mark on American television with record ratings. Of course, it follows The Walking Dead. That might help a bit.
Wu sees a long and fight-filled future ahead for the series. He doesn’t see just one season for Into the Badlands, but several seasons.
According to Digital Spy, he said that he sees “five or six seasons” for the series if it is successful. Wu did not plan to star on the series at first, but he auditioned, and he was the top pick of AMC. The fight scenes were a concern for the actor.
He said:
“The amount of fighting that we’re doing is very over the top – even in movies, I don’t think people do this much fighting. Sunny for example, he’s in in 11 of the 12 major fights that there are in the whole series. That’s 11 fight scenes in four months. I don’t even think Jackie Chan or Jet Li or has done that. In my mind as a producer, I thought we should get someone in their late ’20s, early ’30s, who are at their physical peak. So that’s why I didn’t put myself forward at first, because I didn’t feel I was the best option.”
Now, he is happy with how the show came out, and he managed to come out of the first season without any major injuries. For season two, he revealed that fans could see a 10-episode season.

INTO THE BADLANDS IS AN AMAZING SHOW! I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT!
Yup yup! I love this show too! I hope Into the Badlands is back soon with a new season! Super cool show!
I think this is a great show! Many shows today move to slowly and have too much drama that I just get annoyed and stop watching. So far with Into the badlands neither of those things have occurred, I agree that this show may be unoriginal but it pulls from so many different areas and executes them at such a level that it doesn’t seem to matter. In my opinion the acting is great, fighting is great, and I’m not bored out of my mind. This show should be renewed.
Dont care for it. Hope it will fold soon.
Got the grit for today’s tv audience. Sorta reminds me of ‘Kung Fu’ but he only fought when it was a last resort. I like it. Hope it’s found a home for a while on AMC.
