With a fresh new hashtag ‘Warrior Nun’ fans are still praying for the show’s revival

Fans of the canceled Netflix series 'Warrior Nun' are utilizing a new phrase on Twitter to bring attention to the show.

Fans of the Netflix show Warrior Nun are determined to say the least. Months have passed since the show was canceled, never to receive a third season, and ever since then, fans have been lobbying via social media to get the show revived. Now a new hashtag is rallying the troops as they continue to insist that, like the main character, the show be brought back to life.

The comic book adaption follows Ava Silva, a 19-year-old woman who is brought back to life after having a holy halo thrust into her body. After becoming a part of an ancient order that fights demons on Earth, she finds herself embroiled in a war between heaven and hell. The show ran for two seasons on Netflix, with the last season released on Nov. 10, 2022, but it was not long after this that the news came that Netflix was not going to continue the story, leaving the cast, crew, and fans all around the world devastated.

There has been a steady and unrelenting wave of protests from fans to get the show revived and the call to action on social media has been quite extraordinary, with petitions being signed, billboards erected, and a number of hashtags being utilized to draw attention to the show. One particular thing that earned special ire from devout fans was that this cancelation was one of many made at Netflix where female-driven stories with strong LGBTQ+ representation were dropped.

Warrior Nun had a strong female cast and featured lesbian and bisexual characters and relationships, and this seemed to be a theme for many of the shows that were canceled last year. Other fantasy dramas, aimed predominantly at a young female audience were also given the boot including First Kill, I Am Not Okay With This, and Dare Me, all of which featured LGBTQ+ relationships.

Now, fans are causing the phrase “rise bisexual warrior” to trend on Twitter in an attempt to keep the canceled show in the limelight. As of four hours ago, the trend had over 19.2 thousand tweets in the United States.

Some users are explaining why the phrase in trending.

Others are sharing the partnering of the characters Ava and Sister Beatrice in an effort to highlight the importance of their on-screen relationship.

Others want to make sure that the show’s cancelation, along with the cancelation of many LGBTQ+ shows, does not invalidate them.

The current campaign must be working a little as some people had never even seen the show but came to check out why on earth “rise bisexual warrior” was trending.

The phrase is really gaining traction as people feel seen and called to join the chant.

Perhaps if they do make enough noise, Netflix will feel inclined to hold their hands up and state that they made a mistake, or perhaps another network will see that there are enough people committed to the show that it is worth picking up, who knows? Regardless, it is great to see ‘rise bisexual warrior’ trend on Twitter, regardless of the reason.
