Warrior Nun has been resurrected!

There was quite a bit of uproar when the fantasy action drama was cancelled by Netflix back in December, just a month after its second season premiere, and fans immediately began to show their support for the series to be given another shot.

These dedicated fan-campaigns don't usually pay off, but series creator Simon Barry has now announced that Ava Silva and friends will return for more adventures.

Barry didn't share any other details, but EW has now confirmed that Warrior Nun will not be returning to Netflix. Starz and Peacock are mentioned as possibilities, but so far, no other streaming service or channel has claimed the show.

An online petition to revive the show gained over 120,000 signatures, and the hashtag #SaveWarriorNun was tweeted more than five million times.

"Warrior Nun revolves around the story of a 19-year-old woman who wakes up in a morgue with a new lease on life and a divine artefact embedded in her back. She discovers she is now part of the ancient Order of the Cruciform Sword that has been tasked with fighting demons on Earth, and powerful forces representing both heaven and hell want to find and control her."

Cool. It was a little uneven in places, but a good show.

1st season was cool, but the second kinda lost me with all the back and forth. I was really missing Shotgun Mary!

Either way Mrs Chris Evans is aight. might just tune in for the finale.

I kept seeing this on my Netflix cue and I would think about watching it but have never got around to it. What kind of level of entertainment are we looking at here?

@slickrickdesigns - Background noise. I wouldn't say it's stellar entertainment l, but it helps pass the time.

Never saw it, as it always struck me as a run-of-the-mill Netflix show. Guess it has a bigger following than I expected

I am not the target audience of the show but I won't lie, I felt happy to see that the efforts of the Warrior Nun's fans did pay off just 6 months after Netflix canceled it. There has been as of late, since last year at least, just so many senseless cancelations in network and streaming (especially in the latter) that it just makes one feel absolutely discouraged to even bother to invest in TV series that are only going to be slashed so early in the runs just as the shows are starting to build their audience.

It's actually worse in the case of Netflix that nowadays just axes literally everything and ignores the amount of support and views these projects get when they debut and the less it's said of how the majority of these always happens to LGBTQ entries, the better. It's seriously bad optics for Netflix and their fellow peers are currently doing no better like how Paramount+ did this week with not just canceling but also scrapping/deleting the Grease musical drama series, Rise of the Pink Ladies.

That cheapstake of Zaslav set a dangerous and awful precedent after what he did to Batgirl and countless of others last year on HBO Max.

But I mean it, I'm happy for this win the Warrior Nun fans accomplished by never throwing the towel. Admittedly maybe even a little jealous, but I am happy that the creator can fullfil now his full creative vision and fans will be able to enjoy it. God knows so many other canceled shows deserve the same 2nd chance somewhere. Not always do fan campaigns work out, true, nevertheless it's also true there are good amount of examples that prove it such as when Jericho was canceled. Or when Lucifer also got the axe. Brooklyn 99 too and I could go on listing more examples.

Because as someone that is also in a fan-campaign and still hasn't given up completely on reviving Geoff Johns' passion project and one of the best live-action DC adapations, it fuels me with hope that we can do it as well and it isn't that impossible.
