Fans of Warrior Nun are already anticipating the release of a third season, but will there be one? The second season of Warrior Nun premiered on Netflix in early November 2022. The performance of the show so far and our predictions for a potential third season are included in the preview for season 3 that is provided below. The show, which is produced by Simon Barry (the man behind Bad Blood, Van Helsing, and Continuum), premiered in July 2020 and returned for season 2 on November 10th, 2022, following a brief renewal. Thekla Reuten, Toya Turner, and Alba Baptista star in the show about a young lady who wakes up in a mortuary with a new artefact in her back and learns she is a member of a long-forgotten order.
Is Warrior Nun getting a third season on Netflix?
The sitcom has not yet been renewed as at the time of writing, despite creator Simon Barry looking for additional seasons and heroic fan campaigns to increase viewership. Unfortunately, the show’s early performance isn’t looking well and external demand is also waning. Although you may argue that it came out during a busy period and that the promotion wasn’t fantastic, the numbers so far aren’t great. Future seasons of Warrior Nun are planned, according to showrunner Simon Barry, who spoke with ScreenRant.
How popular is Warrior Nun on Netflix?
You’ll see that we contrast Warrior Nun’s performance with that of Fate: The Winx Saga in this section. Despite objections from some, both programmes are high-budget YA sci-fi fantasy shows that heavily rely on visual effects. They both had to wait a long time before returning after the pandemic, and both made their television series debuts around the same time. You might be aware that Netflix recently cancelled the show Fate. Let’s start with the hours viewed as reported by the top 10 Netflix shows. With 26.22 million global hours, the programme debuted at position 6 in the first week. Although the show probably needed a big surge, viewing hours increased by 6% to 27.74M in week 2.
The fact that Warrior Nun season 1 made the top 10 lists in week 2 with 20.10M hours seen is one encouraging sign that the tenacious fan marketing may have persuaded viewers who were otherwise on the fence to give the show a go. Another example is Fate: The Winx Saga, which showed an increase in viewers for season 1 but not enough to sustain the programme. CVE analysis reveals that the show premiered in week 1 with a 4.5M CVE (calculated by dividing the number of hours Netflix offers by the length of the episode). That makes up half of what Fate: The Winx Saga did in the first week.
Warrior Nun Season 3: What to Expect
A war is fully underway by the end of season 2, which ends on a number of significant cliffhangers but may also answer some of the larger, more general questions. Adriel was defeated once it was found that she was in charge of the Earth, but now that she is no longer a threat, a new, more significant one will emerge, and this will be the primary focus of a third season. The unanswered questions regarding the Halo and Lilith’s transformation should also be included.
In addition, the relationships have been mostly addressed thanks to Ava admitting her love for Beatrice, thus it remains to be seen whether the order will be able to survive in season 3 despite the residual dangers. According to a Redditor, the third season will “set up the events leading to the holy war, fourth season.” Therefore, if the programme doesn’t find enough success, this could be the last.
