Hours after Simon Barry, the showrunner of "Warrior Nun," announced on December 13, 2022, that Netflix had canceled the beloved fantasy-drama after two seasons, fans began to congregate: in Discord servers, on social media, and in one fateful Twitter space.
"There were, like, 6,000 people at one time," Adrienne Place, a 42-year-old production assistant and "Warrior Nun" fan in Tennessee, said of the Twitter space. Kristina Tonteri-Young, the actor who played the fan-favorite character Beatrice, even appeared on the live-audio platform to console fans, Place recalled. "We all came together then," she said.

The Netflix original — an adaptation of Ben Dunn's "Warrior Nun Areala" comics, starring Alba Baptista as Ava Silva, a young woman who's given a new lease on life through a holy artifact that links her to a group of demon-battling nuns — was fairly well received by critics but didn't get a lot of media attention.
