It is a genre-bending martial arts series very loosely based on the classic Chinese tale Journey to the West. In a land controlled by feudal barons, Into the Badlands tells the story of a ruthless, well-trained great warrior Sunny and a young boy M.K. who embark on a spiritual journey across a dangerous land to find enlightenment.

Sunny is living off the grid, doing his best to provide for his infant son, Henry, in the wake of Veil's death. It is only when Henry contracts a mysterious illness that Sunny must journey back into the Badlands, where the Widow and Baron Chau are entrenched in a drawn-out war. No longer supported by Tilda or Waldo, the Widow must find new allies in Lydia and in Nathaniel Moon. But when a mysterious nomadic leader called Pilgrim arrives, old enemies...

Almost seven months after the Rage virus has annihilated the inhabitants of the London and the British Isles, the U.S. Army declares that the war against infection has been won, and that the reconstruction of the country can begin. In the first wave of returning refugees, a family is reunited, but one of them unwillingly carries a terrible secret. The virus is not yet dead, and this time, it is more dangerous than ever.
