After two long and hopeful years, we have finally gotten more details about the fantasy show, Warrior Nun. Warrior Nun is adapted from the comic book character Warrior Nun Areala created by Ben Dunn. The series tells the story of Ava Silva, a 19-year-old quadriplegic orphan, who wakes up in a morgue and discovers that a divine artifact has been embedded in her back and she is now part of the ancient Order of the Cruciform Sword, tasked with fighting demons on Earth. New powers mean new enemies and now, Ava has to fight off the powerful forces from both heaven and hell who want to find and control her.

Warrior Nun was created for television by Simon Barry (Van Helsing, Bad Blood). Barry also serves as an executive producer of the show alongside Stephen Hegyes, Jet Wilkinson, Dean English, and Robert Burke. Warrior Nun was initially developed as a feature film adaptation but the project was later re-imagined as a television show for Netflix, receiving a series order from the streamer in 2018. The first season of the series debuted on Netflix on July 2, 2022, and was met with mostly positive reviews. By August 2020, Netflix renewed the series for a second season. The series’ main cast and some crew members came together via a virtual call to announce that Warrior Nun Season 2 was officially happening. Although the series was renewed quickly, the pandemic caused delays in filming. Pre-production for the second season started in May 2021 and filming began in Madrid, Spain in July 2021, wrapping up on November 4, 2021.

After all the delays, Warrior Nun Season 2 is finally heading back to our screens and we’ve gathered everything you need to know about the latest season of the series from plot to release date.

Watch the Warrior Nun Season 2 Trailer

Netflix released the first official trailer for Warrior Nun Season 2 on October 13, 2022. In the new trailer, Ava blames herself for all that has happened, including Adriel’s escape from prison, and seeks to make things right. She is informed that the first Warrior Nun used a secret weapon to imprison Adriel and we’re shown Ava holding up a crown of thorns, which we can assume is the weapon in reference. The girls are shown fighting and training and it seems this time, they will show no mercy to their enemies. Adriel is also seen to have grown more influential since the last time we saw him. Ava is ruthless and even when told that no one in history has ever faced Adriel and won, she says “looks like we’re going to have to make history.” The trailer gives us a glimpse of the action scenes we can expect in the new season. Before the full-length trailer, a teaser was also released in June 2022, which you can see below:
