What happens

Warrior Nun is an American fantasy drama television series created by Simon Barry based on the comic book character Warrior Nun Areala by Ben Dunn. Developed as a feature film adaptation, the idea was re-imagined as a television series for Netflix when the service had given the production a series order for a first season. Filming takes place in multiple locations in Andalusia, Spain, such as Antequera, where the headquarters of the fictional Order of the Cruciform Sword was filmed. The series is narrated and led by Portuguese actress Alba Baptista in the role of Ava Silva, a quadriplegic orphan who discovers she now has supernatural powers which force her to join an ancient order of warrior nuns. The series marks Baptista's English-language debut. The cast also features Toya Turner, Thekla Reuten, Lorena Andrea, Kristina Tonteri-Young, Sylvia De Fanti and Tristán Ulloa. The series premiered on July 2, 2020, to generally positive reviews, while the second season premiered on November 11, 2022. In December 2022, the series was canceled after two seasons. On August 15, 2023, a revival trilogy of feature films was announced to be in development. However, in April 2025, creator Simon Barry shared an update in which he stated that he does not know the current status of the movie trilogy. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
