Reference excerpt

Warrior Nun is an American media franchise consisting of comic books and a fantasy action-drama television series which follow the members of the Order of the Cruciform Sword, a fictional military order of Warrior Nuns and Magic Priests in the service of the Catholic Church. Created by Ben Dunn, the comic book series was published by Antarctic Press. The first season of Warrior Nun, developed by Simon Barry with executive producers Stephen Hegyes and Dean English, was released in July 2020, with an ensemble cast led by Alba Baptista, Lorena Andrea, Kristina Tonteri-Young, and Tristán Ulloa. A second season, with William Miller, was released in November 2022. The franchise is set to continue with a live-action film trilogy from Barry, with Baptista reprising her role. However, in April 2025, over a year and a half later, creator Simon Barry shared a "candid update" in which he stated that the company that owned the movie rights had done nothing and that he was not sure that the company even existed anymore due to the death of its CEO and reports of the company mismanaging funds.

Origin

The Warrior Nun television and film franchise is based on the comic series Warrior Nun Areala, which was originally published by Antarctic Press from March 1993 to July 2003. Several spin-offs of the series were published by Antarctic during the latter run: Warrior Nun Dei (1997), The Crimson Nun (1997), Warrior Nun Areala and Glory (1997), Areala: Angel of War (1998–1999), Warrior Nun Brigantia (2000), Warrior Nun Lazarus (2006) The series was created by Ben Dunn. Following the launch of the television adaptation for Netflix by Simon Barry, all volumes were republished to promote the series.

Television series

Warrior Nun Areala pilot (2001) In 1994, Ben Dunn and Antarctic Press attempted to produce a fan-funded Warrior Nun Areala American anime series, with contributors donating $125 in exchange for their names in the credits, only for Sunrise, the hoped-for animation studio, to require about $200,000 to make the series. In 2001, Darkain Arts made another attempt, producing a television pilot, though that pitch too failed. Only the opening credits of the series' pilot, created by the animators of X-Men: The Animated Series, have been made publicly available, released to YouTube.

Warrior Nun (2020–2022)

In September 2018, Netflix approved a television adaptation of the comic book series, with a series order for a first season. The series was created by Simon Barry, who is credited as an executive producer alongside Stephen Hegyes and Dean English. It stars Alba Baptista as Ava Silva, a new character invented for the series. The series also features re-imagined versions of the characters from the comic book—Shotgun Mary (Toya Turner), Lilith (Lorena Andrea), Mother Superion (Sylvia De Fanti), Areala (Guiomar Alonso) and Sister Shannon Masters (Melina Matthews). The main antagonist of the first season is Jillian Salvius (Thekla Reuten), a female version of the character Julian Salvius from the comic book. The series debuted its first season in full on July 2, 2020. A second series was released in November 2022.

Film series Warrior Nun Areala was being adapted into a feature film to be directed by A. J. Annila. The film was to take all the main characters and mythology that author Ben Dunn provided and re-imagine it in a modern setting. Dunn's involvement included doing storyboards for the film as well as designing the opening sequence which was to blend animation and live-action. Perfect Circle Productions has been developing the film and the official website can be found at WarriorNun.com. In October 2015, there were talks of a live-action Warrior Nun movie from Perfect Circle Productions, intended to be the first of a trilogy. The film was put on hiatus in 2018 when Netflix acquired the television rights.

Warrior Nun Ava On December 13, 2022, Warrior Nun creator Simon Barry revealed on Twitter that Netflix would not be renewing the television series for a third season. Fans responded on social media, with many seeing the decision as part of a trend of discontinuing female-led shows with queer representation, known colloquially as the trope "Cancel Your Gays". On June 28, 2023, the series had been revived in another format without Netflix, crediting the fan support in helping making it happen. and discussions were taking place with other outlets for a revival in the form of a standalone film or a shortended final season. On August 15, 2023, executive producer Dean English confirmed that the storyline of the series would continue in a trilogy of feature films, intended to be expanded into a multimedia "cinematic universe" based on the original comic books. In April 2025, Barry shared an update in which he stated that he does not know the current status of the movie trilogy.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Warrior Nun

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Warrior Nun claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Warrior Nun before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Warrior Nun ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Warrior Nun

In research: Warrior Nun appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Warrior Nun in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Warrior Nun is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Fantasy franchises, Film franchises, Media franchises introduced in 1994, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Warrior Nun outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
