Currently trending on Twitter is the #cancelnetflix hashtag which is a result of it learned that Netflix has decided to cancel the Warrior Nun series after two seasons.
It is said Netflix decided to cancel the series because the viewership isn’t up to par in regards to the cost of the series, and while Warrior Nun did trend for three weeks on Netflix’s charts, it isn’t enough to greenlight the show for another season.
The series is based on the Manga of the same name which follows an orphaned teen (Alba Baptista) who after waking up in a morgue, discovers she now possesses superpowers as the chosen Halo-Bearer for a secret sect of demon-hunting nuns.
Showrunner Simon Barry confirmed the news.
“I’ve just found out that Netflix will not be renewing Warrior Nun – my sincere appreciation to all the fans who worked so hard to bring awareness to this series, and for the love you showed me, the cast and the whole production team. It was a privilege to be a part of this,” tweeted Barry.
“Simon, I’m so shocked and sorry to hear that. Genuinely,” said screenwriter Emily Andras which Barry responded with, “Thanks Emily,” and a big red heart emoji.
