Warrior Nun's Cancelation Continued A Frustrating Netflix Trend

Warrior Nun's Storyline Is Set To Continue As A Film Trilogy

The '90s and '00s often killed gay characters, like Tara in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Lexa in The 100, in a trope that became known as "Bury Your Gays." While modern TV shows tend to be less likely to kill off their LGBTQ characters, another frustrating trend has developed instead. Many Netflix shows that feature positive LGBTQ representation, like GLOW, are often canceled despite receiving critical acclaim. Warrior Nun is considered one of the victims of this trope, known as "Cancel Your Gays," and Netflix's controversial decision to cancel the show inspired backlash from fans.

After a ionate campaign by fans, it was announced that Warrior Nun's story would be continued as a movie trilogy starring the show's original cast. While very little information is currently known about the Warrior Nun movie trilogy's story, there are many directions in which to take it. Netflix is not involved, but another streaming service like Prime might be interested in screening it. Warrior Nun's executive producer, Dean English, confirmed in a letter to fans via the OCS Newsletter that production has been delayed but that he still has faith that Warrior Nun will return in some form.
