Warrior Nun may get back in the habit
After years of attempts, Netflix’s cancelled action series about a demon-slaying woman of God, Warrior Nun, may find itself a new convent.
Nearly two years after the final run of Netflix's Warrior Nun series, its creator Simon Barry may be on the verge of bringing the beloved character back to the screen. According to Deadline, Barry is in the final stages of negotiations to secure the rights to the comic series and intends to develop a film and TV franchise centered around the powerful nun-warrior.
The series, which aired in 2020, followed a 19-year-old woman who returned from the dead and joined the ancient Order of the Cruciform Sword. She left behind her nun's yardstick and embraced the magical, demon-slaying Divinium Sword, battling forces of good and evil across heaven and hell. Despite receiving strong reviews, the Netflix adaptation struggled with a two-year gap between seasons, leading to its cancellation just a month after the second season premiered.
Barry has been pursuing plans to resurrect his creation for several years, unveiling a film trilogy concept in 2023 that ultimately fell through.
