As I've said on the Into the Badlands thread, I did a set visit for Season Two (http://www.kungfumagazine.com/forum/showthread.php?67844-Into-The-Badlands&p=1298537#post1298537). I got a lot of material and my NDA jsut expired, so I'll be releasing it alongside Season Two, which premieres on March 19th. The May+June issue (at print now) will have a lead article by me - On the Set of Into the Badlands - focusing on that set visit obviously. I've also got several ezine articles lined up. The first one was published today. Read INTO THE BADLANDS: Enter the Pig (http://www.kungfumagazine.com/ezine/article.php?article=1343) by Gene Ching.

Into the Badlands (http://www.kungfumagazine.com/forum/showthread.php?67844-Into-The-Badlands) shared this sneak preview with KungFuMagazine.com and three other reporters. This was the scene that we had the opportunity to watch being filmed during my set visit last November for the article I wrote in our May+June 2017 issue (http://www.kungfumagazine.com/forum/showthread.php?70128-May-June-2017). It's the ultimate Sword Hottie (http://www.kungfumagazine.com/forum/showthread.php?41007-Sword-hotties) duel for this show. I was so lucky to see it. I can't wait to see it in context of the penultimate show, which airs this Sunday, appropriately for Mother's Day.

With preparation for KFTC25 AF (http://www.kungfumagazine.com/forum/showthread.php?69762-KUNG-FU-TAI-CHI-25TH-ANNIVERSARY-FESTIVAL-May-19-21-2017-San-Jose-CA) plus all the coverage of Into the Badlands (http://www.kungfumagazine.com/forum/showthread.php?67844-Into-The-Badlands), we never did an quote memes for this issue.
