Netflix has a problem with canceling shows well before their time, and fantasy series bear the brunt of this pattern. The cancelation of Warrior Nun was one of the largest disappointments in recent years. Despite an enthusiastic fan base and a perfect 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, the streaming Goliath chose to cancel after two seasons.
Warrior Nun centers around a secret group of nuns who battle demons. But the premise is unique and exciting, and the show had sharp action, complex female characters, and a story fans invested in tightly. It was released in 2020, and it found success, but not quite the mega-hit that Netflix had hoped for.
After Season 2 ended with a big cliffhanger, many fans were stunned when the show got canceled. The story felt poised for more adventures, and fans couldn’t wait to see what happened next. A failed campaign to save the show went viral, and Netflix eventually revealed that it planned a few movies to tell the story’s conclusion. But there have been very few updates since then.
Despite the uncertain future of Warrior Nun, the first two seasons deserve to be seen. The show crafts a compelling narrative and the characters make powerful emotional and personal journeys. The series finale puts the lead character Ava in a big bind and then her making a big sacrifice gives the show some emotional closure — while many storylines remain open.
Yes, the ending feels incomplete. Yes, it would have been better to get a proper final season. But still, Warrior Nun stands out as one of Netflix’s most underrated fantasy series. For fans of supernatural stories, powerful women leads, and emotional storytelling, this show is a hidden gem. It deserves more love, and it’s one of those rare shows that fans keep recommending, even after its cancellation.
