Embarking on the voyage of the ‘Warrior Nun‘ has indeed been a tempestuous ride for enthusiasts of the erstwhile Netflix series. Though the second bout of the fantasy saga received near-flawless acclaim, viewers were left shattered when Netflix opted to axe the series, turning a deaf ear to the incessant clamor for a resurrection. Merely a week ago, Simon Barry, the series’ orchestrator, unveiled plans for an upcoming, “unimaginably grandiose” third season. The twist, however, is that this renaissance will not transpire on Netflix, with numerous details forecasted for a revelation the ensuing month.
Barry disseminated a hyperlink directing to a nascent portal named ‘Warrior Nun Saved.’ At present, it offers followers the opportunity to register for updates and features a ticking clock scheduled to cease midway through August. Speculations are rife that this denotes the moment when the veil will be lifted off the details surrounding the forthcoming season, inclusive of its novel platform.
Viewers have unequivocally expressed their jubilation over the news of the series’ revival from the Netflix wasteland, extending their gratitude to Barry for championing the show’s cause. The lone gripe they harbour is the anticipation of an impending surprise, the specifics of which won’t be unveiled for over 40 days. Nevertheless, considering the relentless advocacy and appeals for the show’s preservation, this minor inconvenience is a tolerable trade-off for the confirmation of the show’s return for at least another season.
‘Warrior Nun’ – The Emerging Manifest… But With Netflix Donning the Villain’s Cloak.
The recent past has witnessed a burgeoning belief among fans that the potency of social media crusades can conquer any obstacle to rescue their cherished shows from discontinuation. This theory was substantiated in the world of cinema with the launch of Zack Snyder’s ‘Justice League’, followed by Netflix’s revival of the ABC mystery thriller ‘Manifest’, sparing it from discontinuation and commissioning a 20-episode fourth season.
This time, however, Netflix emerges as the antagonist, having abandoned ‘Warrior Nun‘ post its second season, displaying apathy towards the cacophonous requests from fans for a continuation of the series. The mystery savior of the series remains undisclosed, likely to be one of the revelations slated for August when the portal’s countdown culminates.
For now, fans and curious onlookers alike can satiate their curiosity by indulging in the initial two seasons of ‘Warrior Nun‘ available on Netflix. The show, inspired by the comic book ‘Warrior Nun Areala’ penned by Ben Dunn, spins a tale around a 19-year-old who awakens in a mortuary with an age-old relic nestled in her back, with celestial and infernal entities vying to annex her for their respective agendas.
