Scorned fans of the canceled Netflix series Warrior Nun continue to campaign fiercely to have their favorite show either renewed for a third season or have the intellectual property released so that another streaming service can pick it up.
It recently caught the attention of the show’s creator, Simon Barry, who has pledged to share the script pages for a fan-favorite scene as well as a number of other ‘goodies’ after the #SaveWarriorNun hashtag crosses the 10 million tweet milestone.
Mere days after this proclamation, Barry is already making good on the pledge, as well as getting in on the fandom’s inside jokes:
The behind-the-scenes image of Beatrice (Kristina Tonteri-Young), incorrectly captioned as Rebecca, plays into a running gag about a publication seemingly making up a character on the show as Ava’s (Alba Baptista) love interest.
The campaign to save Warrior Nun has escalated in recent weeks. The fandom successfully hired out a billboard outside of Netflix’s headquarters to further their cause. Warrior Nun-related hashtags and phrases continue to trend on Twitter consistently, managing to hover around hotly-trending topics like HBO’s The Last of Us and James Gunn’s DC Universe slate.
While streaming giants have seemingly been canceling shows left and right in the past few months, most fan campaigns eventually have lost steam and bygones have become bygones. However, credit where credit is due, the Warrior Nun fan base continues to consistently drive their point home. Surely it’s only a matter of time before Netflix addresses the matter in some way, shape, or form.
