Netflix Series ‘Warrior Nun’ To Make A Comeback As Movie Trilogy
After successfully running for two seasons, Netflix cancelled the American fantasy drama streaming television series, ‘Warrior Nun.’
But it looks like the prayers and pleas of the fans have been answered, as on August 15, 2023, executive producer Dean English announced that the series created by Simon Barry will be returning as a trilogy of feature films.
In a YouTube video and in a statement posted on a website created to save ‘Warrior Nun,’ Dean English revealed the good news and said,
“I am very happy to announce that Warrior Nun is coming back as a trilogy of motion pictures. Once again, a trilogy of feature films. Three.”
Following the cancellation of the series on December 13, 2022, fans made efforts to bring back the show on social media and with billboards and other campaigns.
On June 28, 2023, creator Simon Barry acknowledged the support of the fans and posted on Twitter,
“Today I’m happy to officially report that because of your combined voices, passion and amazing efforts — Warrior Nun will return and is going to be more EPIC than you could imagine. More details to come! SOON! Thank you!!”
In the YouTube video, English did not give out many details about the upcoming project and mentioned that due to the ongoing Hollywood strikes, no announcements about the creative talent of the movie trilogy could be made.
Dean English said,
“I need to start by thanking all of you loyal fans. It’s because of you and your incredible energy that we keep pushing forward to make these stories. You guys really make it all worthwhile. So thank you so much for your continued support.”
The Hollywood Reporter reported that the revival would not include its former network, Netflix.
Based on the comic book character ‘Warrior Nun Areala’ by Ben Dunn, the plot of ‘Warrior Nun’ centers on a 19-year-old woman who awakens in a mortuary with a fresh lease on life and a divine artifact lodged in her spine. She learns that she is now a member of the ancient Order of the Cruciform Sword, which has been charged with combating demons on Earth, and that strong powers from both heaven and hell are out to locate and control her.
