Netflix Series 'Warrior Nun' Will Be Back For Season 3

What happens when a young orphan discovers she's next to inherit a warrior title from a 1,000-year-old group of nuns tasked with protecting the world from evil demons, you ask? Well, the answer is laid out in the Netflix series Warrior Nun. The orphan in question is named Ava (Alba Baptista).

We loved the first two seasons of the action series, but have wondered if Netflix will give us a third season.

We now have an answer.

Showrunner Simon Barry took to Twitter to announce that they will return. He was sparse on details, but it sounds like it was a bit of an uphill battle. No wonder with so many shows being canceled as streamers struggle to stay viable against each other. He said,

"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!! #SaveWarriorNun #WarriorNunSaved"

It sounds like the nuns had to take on a foe even more frightening than demons...studio execs and streaming corporations. Having experienced both, we'll take the demons.

Yes, absolutely. The show seems to be embracing the tradition of leaving each season on a huge cliffhanger that leaves fans questioning Ava's fate.

Without delving too far into spoiler territory, the Warrior Nun Season 2 ending set up a huge potential for an all-out war in the (hypothetical) Warrior Nun Season 3. In other words, we needed Warrior Nun Season 3 like yesterday!

In the meantime, we can enjoy seasons 1 and 2 of Warrior Nun on Netflix and cheer on some kick-butt clergy.
