Cancelled Netflix Show Fans Change Tactics & Buy NYC Billboard

After buying a billboard outside Netflix’s HQ, fans of cancelled Netflix show Warrior Nun have decided to buy a new billboard in New York City.

Fans of Netflix’s cancelled fantasy action series Warrior Nun have purchased a billboard in New York City in an attempt to revive the show for season 3. After the series was axed by Netflix in December 2022, vocal supporters of Warrior Nun have taken to both the Internet and real life to get the series renewed. One of the largest real-world attempts at convincing Netflix to give the series a second chance was the placement of a billboard outside Netflix’s headquarters in Los Angeles. The billboard was placed on January 20 and will remain there for 2 more weeks at the time of writing.

In a Twitter post from Sarah, who announced the previous billboard, Warrior Nun fans were revealed to have set up a new billboard to save the series, this time in New York City. The digital billboard will play an animation of protagonist Ava’s halo glowing, alongside a message reading “#SaveWarriorNun.” The billboard will appear in Midtown Manhattan Friday through Sunday from 4-9 p.m. throughout February, as well as on March 3.

The Campaign To Save Warrior Nun Explained

Warrior Nun enthusiasts have been increasingly vocal about their wishes for the series to continue. Beyond putting up billboards in real life, much of the push for Warrior Nun season 3 has happened online. Fans of the series and people who worked on the show – including creator Simon Barry – have been using the hashtag “#SaveWarriorNun” to show support for the series being renewed. Some are campaigning for Apple TV+ to revive Warrior Nun following comments by Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos indicating recently shelved series would not be revived.

Warrior Nun is best known for its strong female leads, including the protagonist, Ava, who is revived and given supernatural abilities by a holy artifact called the halo. Alongside Ava is Shotgun Mary, a member of the Order of the Cruciform Sword, the group of nuns in the series who are responsible for keeping holy artifacts safe and killing demons that threaten Earth. Another member of the Order, Beatrice, begins a romantic relationship with Ava in season 2, a creative decision that netted the show praise for its positive representation of queer romance. Warrior Nun‘s positive reception for its use of diverse characters in an action-packed, religiously-inspired story underscores why the show has so many who want to see it continue.

Will Warrior Nun Return For Season 3?

While it’s a riveting thought that Netflix could renew Warrior Nun for a season 3 because of the campaign, the likelihood of the show continuing at the streaming service seems small. However, given recent pushes for Warrior Nun to be revived elsewhere, it wouldn’t be surprising for a streaming service like Apple TV+ to see the passion of the campaign and fund a season 3. With two billboards now up in different parts of the country, it’s clear that Warrior Nun fans remain steadfast, dedicated to the continuation of Ava and the Order’s story. Because of this dedication, it would be no surprise if Warrior Nun were to be renewed for season 3 sometime in the future.
