Kung Fu Plot and Cast
We left Kung Fu in a state of transition. Henry decided to learn more about his father after the man died in his arms. It’s a journey that necessitated an end to his relationship with Nicky despite the two being split by life and circumstances and not a loss of love and care for one another.
Zhilan’s death isn’t the end for her considering Chapman will be in season 3, however, how this is possible is certain to affect the plot. Not to mention, magic has been introduced into the world which has brought Nicky’s Shifu Pei-Ling, or Xiao, or possibly someone else into this realm.
So, while we don’t have an official synopsis for the third season, we do know things are certain to heat up once again given what happened in the Season 2 finale. We’ll keep you posted as more information comes in about the new season.
Now coming to the cast, the leads of the first two seasons are expected to reprise their roles. This includes Olivia Liang, Kheng Hua Tan, Eddie Liu, Shannon Dang, and Jon Prasida. Others expected to return include Gavin Stenhouse, Vanessa Kai, Tony Chung, Tzi Ma, and Yvonne Chapman.
