Warrior Nun fans, give yourselves a collective pat on the back – the show’s creator has confirmed it will be making an “epic” return after u-turning Netflix’s cancellation.
Netflix has come under fire in recent years for inexplicably cancelling its shows prematurely, and the fantasy drama Warrior Nun is no different. Season 2 quickly rose the ranks in the streamer’s top 10 charts, racking up 26.2 million streaming hours in its first week alone.
Despite its dedicated fanbase and solid viewing figures, the streaming platform announced its plans to axe the series in December 2022, leading to a viral campaign and the hashtag WhatTheHellNetflix trending on Twitter.
Thankfully, the fans’ voices have been heard – it looks like Netflix has reversed its decision, and the creators have promised an “epic” return for Warrior Nun.
