“A Great Legacy”: Warrior Nun Creator Reflects On Fan Campaign To Revive The Show

Warrior Nun creator Simon Barry has reflected on the campaign to save the show, expressing his gratefulness for fans that rallied together to revive it. The series was canceled by Netflix in December 2022, prompting a massive fan push for the series to return. These attempts at bringing the show back were seemingly successful, with a movie trilogy announced in August 2023.

Speaking with Business Insider, Barry reflected on how inspiring fans of the show are for their campaign to get Warrior Nun revived. The series creator expressed support for their fight to save the series, indicating how inspiring its fandom is. Check out what Barry had to say below:

I’m always in awe of anyone who takes the time out of their busy days and lives to fight for the survival of a show that they firmly believe in and that speaks to them…. I really believe in the camaraderie and the support that they’ve given each other. And I do feel like at the end of the day, that’s a great legacy.

What’s Next For Warrior Nun?

The creator’s reflection on the campaign to save the fantasy action series underscores how grateful he is to see the canceled show beloved by so many fans. However, Barry and several other creatives from the original series are not slated to be involved with the Warrior Nun movie trilogy. The upcoming revival was announced by executive producer Dean English, who is expected to still have a creative role in the franchise moving forward.

The latest news surrounding the film trilogy was a contest hosted by Warrior Nun comic creator Ben Dunn to redesign the franchise’s signature Halo. This announcement – coupled with a lack of involvement from Barry and others – has resulted in “#SaveOURWarriorNun” becoming a new slogan for the revival campaign. Fans are now fighting to ensure the upcoming trilogy continues the Netflix show’s story instead of starting anew.

While it’s unclear if the fight to save Warrior Nun is over yet, Barry’s praise for the fan campaign highlights the passion of the show’s dedicated audience. Because of this, it’s likely the show’s fanbase will keep striving to ensure the version of the series they love will be what makes it onto the big screen. With many trying to guarantee the show’s future for almost a full year, it doesn’t seem they will be slowing down anytime soon.
