Into the Badlands season 3 trailer promises crazy action
By Shawn Lealos
The Into the Badlands season 3 trailer just hit online and it looks like the action will be as crazy as ever.
Actually, when asked about the action in Into the Badlands season 3, showrunner Alfred Gough told Variety that the fight scenes this season would be “bats**t crazy.” Considering that the fight scenes in the first two seasons were amazing displays of action, that is no surprise.
However, now that the Into the Badlands season 3 trailer has hit, it looks like Gough wasn’t kidding. Check out the trailer here and then we can talk about what it looks like we can expect this season.
Gough had said this about the next season of Into the Badlands.
"Have you ever seen a bada** redhead have a martial arts sword fight with a one handed former regent on the top of a stone tower overlooking the ocean? And that’s only the first fight of the season. You’re welcome, America!"
That fight was on display in the trailer as the Widow and Nathaniel Moon battled and talked “honor,” with Moon asking if she knew where Sunny is.
Sunny is still trying to avoid the war that the Guilds have started all around him while trying to get his infant son Henry to a safe place. While Sunny doesn’t want to fight, this trailer proves that he is still one of the deadliest men on the planet — especially when his son falls ill and he is forced to return to the Badlands for help.
Also on display in the Into the Badlands season 3 trailer are newcomers Pilgrim (Babou Cessay), a cult-like religious leader on the hunt for a mysterious artifact tied to the mythical city of Azra, and Cressida (Lorraine Toussaint), his priestess. As the trailer shows, they are not afraid to let the heads roll.

Gough also attended Wondercon this weekend and Variety reported that he told fans that they can expect a hugely diverse cast of characters in this season of the show. As Gough said, “the future isn’t gonna be full of white people…says the only white guy on the panel.”
Into the Badlands season 3 premieres Sunday, April 22 on AMC.
