Warrior Nun creator Simon Barry has revealed if he’s involved in the upcoming movie trilogy for the franchise following the massive fan campaign to save the series. The fantasy action series was cancelled by Netflix in December 2022, leading fans and Barry himself to rally for its renewal through online and real-life efforts. In August, it was announced that a Warrior Nun film trilogy was happening thanks to the efforts of the campaign.
Now, Simon Barry has confirmed he will not be involved in creating the upcoming Warrior Nun movie trilogy.
In his post, Barry reveals he doesn’t know what to expect from future updates regarding the new movies, as he will not be involved in the creation process. This indicates the trilogy may not have the same creative team as the Netflix series.
What To Expect From The Warrior Nun Trilogy
While Barry will not be involved in the upcoming film trilogy, executive producer Dean English will be returning to bring the follow-up movies to life. However, it’s now unclear if the films will follow Barry’s original vision for Warrior Nun season 3 and beyond, or if the series will go in a different direction. It also calls into question which members of the cast and crew from the original series will be returning.
The end of Warrior Nun season 2 saw Ava go through the Ark in order to heal in Reya’s dimension as Beatrice quit the OCS. Lilith also hinted at a looming holy war, which may pit the OCS against a new threat. It appears the upcoming movie trilogy will continue the story from the end of season 2, though it remains to be seen how the story will unfold.
While English’s involvement is a good sign for the film trilogy, Barry stepping away could be a worrisome development for the future of the franchise. However, nothing is certain about where the series will go from here until more information about the movies gets revealed. For now, Warrior Nun fans whose ardent campaigning saved the series may not get answers until more concrete announcements are made.
