It’s a little hard to believe we’re even talking about this, but announcements in mid-2023 put a Warrior Nun season 3 release date or potential movie installment of the demon-fighting series back on the table.
Warrior Nun was canceled but devotees won the prize of a continuation after the successful Save Warrior Nun fan campaign. One of the best fantasy series, its fate is still up for debate in some ways, but we’ve read the scripture on the potential paths. So, what the hell is going on? Here are all the slivers of information available on our favorite nuns and their halo-bearer.
Warrior Nun season 3 release date speculation
There will not be a Warrior Nun season 3 release date, because the story will be continued in three feature films, said Dean English on August 16, 2023.
English, who is the executive producer, posted an announcement after the countdown clock on warriornunsaved.com reached zero. You can watch the full video below.
Details on format, cast, and the rest of it are still unavailable, but now fans know for sure that they have secured more Warrior Nun.
Netflix has not moved an inch since it canceled the show in late 2022, and we doubt they would produce more given the fact that fans and crew have been openly critical of the studio, so we imagine these films will be produced elsewhere.
English also noted that the Warrior Nun universe could expand in other ways following different characters, so the future is wide open in his eyes. There is some concern over the specifics, of which there are little of right now, as English didn’t mention where the movies would find their home. This has left some skeptical that these new movies will be a genuine continuation of the series as they knew it.
Warrior Nun season 3 cast speculation
We imagine at least some of the original Warrior Nun cast, particularly Kristina Tonteri-Young, will be back for the three movies that are planned instead of season 3.
We say Tonteri-Young (Beatrice in the show) because we, unfortunately, do see a potential future where series lead Alba Baptista doesn’t return. The season 2 finale saw her character, Ava, be sent off to another dimension, so if issues with her contract or other obligations arise, there’s wiggle room for new projects to either bring her back in a more limited capacity than originally planned or focus on someone else.
Of course, we want everyone back, but we feel confident that Tonteri-Young, who spent a lot of time promoting the show, would be the most likely. Supporting characters, like the absent Shotgun Mary could even lead a spin-off or prequel if that’s how things pan out. On the creative side, Barry does not seem to be attached at present, which fans have protested.
Below is our wishful thinking for what a season 3 would have looked like as well as our wishlist for the movies.
The possible Warrior Nun season 3 cast list:
- Alba Baptista as Ava Silva
- Toya Turner as Shotgun Mary
- Lorena Andrea as Sister Lilith
- Kristina Tonteri-Young as Sister Beatrice
- Tristán Ulloa as Father Vincent
- Thekla Reuten as Jillian Salvius
- Sylvia De Fanti as Mother Superion
- Olivia Delcán as Sister Camila
- Meena Rayann as Yasmine Amunet

What is Warrior Nun season 3 about?
Warrior Nun season 3 is being replaced by three movies, which we think will follow Beatrice and the sisters battling evil while waiting for any sign of Ava’s return.
The season 2 finale was a big hitter, with multiple losses, expansions of the mythology, and Ava’s sacrifice which forced her to take a leap of faith through the Ark portal in the hopes she can heal from her mortal wounds there.
After the loss of Ava and her repressed lifestyle within the OCS, Beatrice decides to depart while the other sisters begin training new nuns. Lilith warned Ava and Beatrice a “holy war” would ensue, so we imagine a new plot would further that thread.
But in the very last shot of season 2, we saw Ava’s divinium sword glow. When Ava was channeling its power in the past, her sword would light up. This little moment was surely a tease that Ava is out there somewhere, possibly trying to get back. We know time functions differently on the other side of the Ark, so the movies would likely develop her character accordingly.
Is there a Warrior Nun season 3 trailer?
There is no Warrior Nun season 3 trailer, but we expect trailers for the first of the planned Warrior Nun movies in 2025 or later.
Who knows whether these planned movies will go ahead, never mind when, so there is not a lot to go on to help us guess a trailer timeframe right now. In the meantime, check out the incredible stunt work from the church brawl in season 2 in the clip above.
Where can I watch Warrior Nun season 3?
You won’t find Warrior Nun season 3 streaming anywhere because movies are being made in its place. There is currently no confirmation on where they will be released.
We have zero faith (even less than Ava) that we’ll see any more OSC on new on Netflix schedules. As for the other options, we guess a different streaming service would be most probable to release three movies. that being said, there’s been such little information that we have to admit we’re a little worried about where exactly these movies will land.
And on that note, we don’t foresee any physical media following the potential release. As of right now, there’s no official deal in place that we’ve heard of, outside of the fact English’s production company is involved.
How many episodes will Warrior Nun season 3 have?
Instead of Warrior Nun season 3 episodes, fans will get to enjoy three feature films, says the executive producer.
No more episodes, but three feature-length chapters instead… some folks might prefer that!
We can’t stream any new episodes right now, but do you know what you can stream in celebration of all the recent good news? You guessed it — 10 points for House Bambola. If you said Hymn for Her, we love that too, but it’s not the vibe for this moment.
That’s all for now, but we do have lists of the best TV series of all time and guides to other shows we don’t want to be canceled, like the Arcane season 2 release date and the Heartstopper season 3 release date. We also have some thoughts on why the XO Kitty bisexual storyline is groundbreaking. And for more streaming, check out what’s new on Disney Plus, new on Apple TV, and new on Amazon Prime.
