Although it was summarily cancelled by Netflix after two seasons in late 2022, Warrior Nun can’t be kept down.
This week, showrunner Simon Barry announced on Twitter that the series will be revived for a third season.
The show, based on a comic by Ben Dunn — who spent much of his upbringing in San Antonio as well as in Taiwan and Kentucky — follows a woman who awakens in a mortuary with a holy relic implanted in her spine, who learns she is now a member of the mysterious Order of the Cruciform Sword.
Featuring sapphic romance and battles against demons, Warrior Nun gained significant popularity during its first two seasons. Its cancellation by Netflix in December of 2022 caused outrage among those who loved the show, and Simon Barry has credited this fan passion with the show’s revival.
Entertainment Weekly reported that the series will not be revived on Netflix, meaning that it likely has found a home on another streaming service. Barry stated that more details will be announced soon.
