As of December 13th, Netflix decided to cancel further seasons of Warrior Nun. We will not sit quiet about this. Over 1.3M tweets of the hashtag (#SaveWarriorNun) were accumulated within 3 days of this news. The hashtag now sits at over 8M+ tweets. This show was extremely important for representation (includes POC, female led cast, LGBTQ). Nevertheless, Warrior nun is truly a rare show. It flawlessly blends an interesting plot, punchy action sequences, complex characters you’ll easily love, AND includes commentary on the blurred line between science and religion together to create an incredible fantasy show. After the recent cancellations of other sapphic content (e.g. The Wilds, First Kill, I Am Not Okay With This…), lately more commonly canceled by Netflix, a renewal would be extremely meaningful to a community that feels constantly underrepresented, misrepresented, and undervalued in current television media.
It is hard to not compare to other tropes similar to WLW romances, such as MLM, and ask why such a difference in treatment? No matter how well our numbers perform for these shows, no matter how much love we show for these shows, it’ll never be enough. It will always feel targeted, especially after they barely promote it, hold blooper reels hostage, and do not provide any cast interviews. Of course, we are happy for other representation successes to be promoted so freely by Netflix, but we just want the same. We hope you can stand with us and understand our frustration. Please help us to secure a season 3 by signing and spreading this petition to others. (Written by @SarahManning194 and @slutforpheeb on twitter)
