Fan outrage was rampant when Netflix announced in mid-December 2022 that the fantasy action series “Warrior Nun” would be cancelled. The storm of outrage that erupted caused that under the hashtag 197,000 tweets were sent calling on Netflix to save the series. But that’s not all, because in early January 2023 things got loud again on Twitter.
More than 146,000 tweets were sent under the slogan “NETFLIX CORRECT YOUR MISTAKE”, in which followers of “Warrior Nun” once again vociferously called on the streaming service to undo their mistake of canceling the series. And fans can finally clap their hands, because it has now been announced that “Warrior Nun” is indeed getting a sequel!
Social media campaigns are paying off
Series creator Simon Barry wrote the following in a tweet: “I am thrilled to officially announce today that your voices, your passion and your amazing dedication have ensured that Warrior Nun will return and be even more epic than you could have imagined. More details to come!”
However, it is still unclear when and how “Warrior Nun” will return. Will there be a third season on Netflix or maybe “just” a feature film sequel? Or has another streaming service or TV channel stepped into the breach? Here we have to wait.
What can be said is that the fan campaigns on Twitter really worked. The persistence of the “Warrior Nun” fans has paid off and saved the series. A similar step of this magnitude could previously only be taken at to observe. Under this hashtag, fans have been clamoring for the Snyder Cut of “Justice League” to be released. Successfully.
That’s what “Warrior Nun” is about
In case you’re wondering what Warrior Nun is all about, here’s the synopsis: 19-year-old Ava (Alba Baptista) wakes up one day in a morgue to find a divine artifact on her back. Overwhelmed by her new skills, she looks for support. At the same time, she discovers that from now on she must fight against demons on earth while powerful forces of heaven and hell are after her.
Her sister Mary (Toya Turner) also wants to find those who did this to Ava. Meanwhile, the new goddess has to deal with her past at the orphanage, which doesn’t make life any easier with the new powers. In desperation, Ava turns to science, but again they have other plans for the young woman’s powers…
