After initially cancelling Warrior Nun late last year, Netflix has now come to its senses and renewed the series! This decision comes after an impressive fan campaign, which included petitions, billboards, murals, and more.
Based on the comic book character Warrior Nun Areala, the fantasy drama stars Portuguese actress Alba Baptista as Ava Silva. Ava is a quadriplegic orphan who discovers she has supernatural powers that force her to join an ancient order of warrior nuns.
When news of the show’s cancellation broke, fans were outraged and quickly took action. They launched a massive campaign to convince Netflix that Warrior Nun was worth another season. Soon, petitions were created and one in particular gained more than 123,000 signatures.
On Wednesday morning, creator Simon Barry shared the news that a third season was in the works. He posted on social media, “Today, I’m happy to officially report that because of your combined voices, passion and amazing efforts – #WarriorNun will return and is going to be more EPIC than you could imagine.”
Unsurprisingly, fans of the show were thrilled and took to social media to express their excitement. One person noted the incredible efforts that were taken, saying “after six months of fighting to save this show through a worldwide fan campaign that funded 10 billboards, two murals and amassed 15 million+ tweets, we have finally done it.” Another added “Never ever doubt the power of fans. Congratulations to the #WarrioNun fandom, you worked so hard. Thrilled for you and the WN team.”
The show’s cancellation had been confirmed by Barry at the time, who wrote on Twitter: “I’ve just found out that @netflix will not be renewing #WarriorNun – my sincere appreciation to all the fans who worked so hard to bring awareness to this series, and for the love you showed me, the cast and the whole production team. It was a privilege to be a part of this.”
Fortunately, it looks like the team was able to find a “path” to move the show to another platform, and the fans’ hard work has paid off. Warrior Nun is now streaming on Netflix, and we can’t wait to see what’s in store for season 3!
