Warrior Nun Pulls Off a Miracle, Comes Back From Cancelation

The show's creator said more news would be coming soon!

After a long and hard-fought battle from the fans, Warrior Nun has been renewed!

It's rare that a show comes back from cancelation, but for Warrior Nun, it seemed like an even more impossible struggle, as Netflix ignored the fan campaign for months. But just when hope seemed lost, creator Simon Barry posted on Twitter that a miracle had happened.

“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. More details to come! SOON! Thank you,” he wrote.

There’s no information on if that means Warrior Nun will be returning to Netflix for its upcoming third season, or if it’ll be on a different streamer or network. It could also return as a movie or miniseries event.

The series “revolves around the story of a 19-year-old woman named Ava who wakes up in a morgue with a new lease on life and a divine artifact embedded in her back. She discovers she is now part of the ancient Order of the Cruciform Sword that has been tasked with fighting demons on Earth, and powerful forces representing both heaven and hell want to find and control her.”

Apart from saving the world, Ava also gets involved in a romance with her fellow nun Beatrice.

Warrior Nun was one of many shows Netflix canceled in the last year, including many shows with LGBTQ+ characters. Others included Uncoupled, First Kill, 1899, Fate: The Winx Saga, The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself, and Dead End: Paranormal Park.

Fans had been using the hashtag #SaveWarriorNun, had a Change.org petition, and even put up billboards outside of Netflix offices so that executives would see it.

While it isn’t clear if Netflix is involved in Warrior Nun’s resurrection, it is clear that the power of fans, especially LGBTQ+ ones, can do anything.
