The series was critically acclaimed and a favorite amongst Netflix subscribers even gaining a cult following. The series follows Alba Baptista as Ava, an orphan, who after waking up in a morgue discovers she has been gifted the supernatural abilities of the “Halo Bearer”, and joins forces with an organization of demon slaying nuns played by Kristina Tonteri-Young, Lorena Andrea, Olivia Delcan, Toya Turner, and Mother Superion played by Sylvia De Fanti.
Full of action, suspense, and drama the show has something for everyone. The fights are well choreographed and the special effects are well executed. Based on the comic book “Warrior Nun Areala” the show took its time in season one developing its characters and world-building while season 2 delivers more action and bigger stakes.
Netflix has a bad rep for canceling fan-favorite series, but every once and a while they get it right by saving or renewing projects like the hits Manifest or Lucifer and giving fans what they want. Now, Warrior Nun is getting saved and will be getting returning — though it’s not yet been confirmed how exactly the show will return. Currently with a strong audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, the series has proven itself worthy of its following and a continuation of its story. Check out the trailers below for the previous seasons.
Warrior Nun seasons 1-2 are streaming on Netflix.
