Warrior Nun is an Action Fantasy Drama series created by Simon Barry (of Van Helsing fame). The show is based on the comic book series Warrior Nun Areala and streams on Netflix.During a terrible battle in a morgue between the Sister Warriors and possessed mercenaries, a dead nineteen-year-old quadriplegic girl Ava (Alba Baptista) is implanted with a mystical halo. She quickly finds herself Back from the Dead and fighting for her life, before escaping into the Spanish streets.Confused by what's happening to her, Ava has to decide whether to grasp the opportunity to be a normal teen or become the Warrior Nun, a leader of the forces for good in the ancient battle between Heaven Versus Hell.The series also stars Kristina Tonteri-Young (Outside the Wire) as Sister Beatrice, Toya Turner (New Amsterdam (2018)) as Shotgun Mary, Lorena Andrea (Papillon) as Sister Lilith, Olivia Delcán as Sister Camila, Joaquim De Almeida as Cardinal Duretti, and Tristán Ulloa (Terminator: Dark Fate) as Father Vincent. In Season 2, William Miller is upgraded to starring cast in his role as Adriel, and Sylvia De Fanti is upgraded to starring cast as Mother Superion. Toya Turner departs the series as Shotgun Mary due to personal issues preventing her return.The show debuted in July, 2020. A month later, in August, it was renewed for a second season. In June 2022, it was announced that it would premiere in the winter of 2022, with a specific release date of November 10 later announced. Although Barry had previously stated that 5-7 seasons total would be "ideal" for the story, the series was cancelled after two seasons in December of 2022. However, following an extensive fan campaign, it was announced in late June 2023 that the show would receive three feature length films to continue the universe.Previews: Season 1 Red Band Trailer, Season 2 Teaser, Season 2 Trailer, Season 1 Recap | |

Table Space: In "Colossians 3:9-10," Lilith and her mother sit together at opposite ends of a long table as they have a fraught discussion regarding Lilith's appearance and her being "passed over" for the Halo. | |

Plot-Triggering Death: The entire plot kicks off with the death of Sister Shannon, whose Halo is hidden inside the corpse of Ava, who awakens and causes complications for the OCS. Meanwhile, Shotgun Mary breaks off to investigate the cause behind Shannon's death, discovering a conspiracy in the process. | |

Trailers Always Spoil: A retroactively shocking example. The trailer for the second season includes a voiceover discussing how Areala defeated Adriel while including clips of him covered in fire and screaming in pain. Come the release of Season 2, it turns out it wasn't a flashback, but the actual way Adriel is killed in the show. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Warrior Nun / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: Season 2 is this to Season 1, with higher stakes, more tearjerking moments and more intense violence and gore. Highlights include Lilith undergoing a Face–Heel Turn, Adriel nearly beating the OCS and wiping out nearly all of their soldiers, and Ava pulling a seemingly Heroic Sacrifice (though her fate is left ambiguous) after confessing her love for Beatrice. Tellingly, showrunner Simon Barry compared it to The Empire Strikes Back. | |

| Warrior Nun / int_1dacdb4f | comment |
Senseless Sacrifice: Ava's role in her and Michael's sacrifice, basically amounting to collateral damage since she could easily do it from a distance. It turns out their entire plan is an example of this, since it barely leaves a dent in Adriel, and he's back on his feet in no time. | |

I Surrender, Suckers: In the premiere of the second season, "Galatians 6:4-5," Lilith is trapped by Vincent and confronted by four of Adriel's followers. She takes them all out, only to be confronted by around a dozen more. She raises her hands, then teleports behind one of them, slaughters them, then takes out the rest. | |

Cruel and Unusual Death: Lilith actually ends up inflicting this in the second season, tearing an army of guards to literal pieces with their claws. Pope Duretti dies after getting struck with a concentrated electric blast, which turns him into a charred corpse in seconds. Adriel dies after getting impaled by a Tarask, which swiftly turns him into Ludicrous Gibs. | |

Bloodier and Gorier: Season 2 amps up the brutality by a significant degree. While the first season is nothing to scoff at, Season 2 gets more intense with Lilith tearing her way through a group of FBC soldiers, Cardinal Rossi getting horrifically tortured, Pope Duretti getting killed by a lightning bolt that turns him into a crisp, and Adriel getting mutilated by a Divinium bomb, which makes for some nasty Facial Horror. | |

| Warrior Nun / int_21f3aa44 | comment |
Good is Not Nice: The nuns are fully willing to beat the crap out of Ava to teach her a lesson. Or shoot a dude in the face and throw him off a cliff once they have all the info they need from him. Reya might be the God of an advanced dimension, but nothing stops her from gunning after Adriel with a vengeance. She's also not above using people as tools in order to accomplish her goals, as shown with Miguel and later Ava. | |

Bolivian Army Cliffhanger: The first season ends with a standoff between the heroes and the villains. The nuns confront a crowd of people in the Vatican that are controlled by Adriel's wraith demons. The final shot is of Mary being overwhelmed. It turns out in the second season that Mary died after getting overwhelmed while the others were forced to teleport away. | |

Out-Gambitted: "Isaiah 40:31" revolves around the team cracking the systems that allowed Adriel to create his fake plagues just as Duretti reveals them. Ava succeeds in cracking the system as Duretti calls on the locusts to prove Adriel a fraud...and nothing happens. Too late, the team realizes Adriel allowed them to access this system when it did nothing to create the plagues and this was all for Adriel to make Duretti look like the liar himself and build up his worship. | |

Batman Gambit | |
| Warrior Nun / int_38d02d44 | comment |
Batman Gambit: How Adriel outsmarts the OCS and makes himself look even better to the public eye. The Nuns infiltrate his cathedral, intending to expose him by hacking into the technology he uses to create his plagues and expose him as a fraud. However, Kristian and Adriel see this coming as they know Jillian is aiding the nuns, and block the hack. This also has the effect of making Pope Duretti look like an idiot in front of a wide audience, and the following lightning strike that kills him only makes Adriel look more like a divine figure. To sum it up, the OCS play into his hands by enacting a perfect plan that only makes Adriel look better. | |

Kill the Ones You Love: An inverse example. Rather than needing to kill her, Beatrice has to send Ava into the Arc Realm, which would send her away from the Earth for who knows how long, in order to heal her from fatal wounds. It's clearly a difficult choice as Ava has to tell Beatrice to let her go and Beatrice visibly begins to crack after Ava is teleported away. | |

Character Development | |
| Warrior Nun / int_3b113b7 | comment |
Character Development: Ava undergoes this big time. She goes from running from the OCS and her responsibilities as the Warrior Nun to accepting her position, fighting alongside other Sister Warriors, and eventually learning that not everything is about her. She chooses to sacrifice herself at the end of Season 2 to ensure her friends are safe, a stark contrast to her characterisation from the beginning of the series. Beatrice starts out as a dutiful member of the OCS before she meets Ava, who, as her actress Kristina Tonteri-Young has stated, represents who Beatrice wishes she could be (a free-loving and relaxed person). After the two become Best Friend's, Beatrice's loyalty shifts to fighting for and alongside Ava, whom she quickly becomes devoted to and also has feelings for. Her character growth culminates in her choosing to fight for Ava's safety rather than the church, even at the risk of the mission and the world. At Ava's request, she leaves the OCS to live a free life, something Season 1 Beatrice wouldn't even think of doing. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
| Warrior Nun / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Ava's Refusal of the Call. She's a resurrected teenager who was robbed of her life thanks to a horrible accident and an abusive caretaker. Is it really a surprise she doesn't entertain the idea of joining the OCS at first? Michael's death might be anti-climactic, but it makes sense. Why would Adriel let a two vs. two face-off happen, especially when Michael has previously had a connection with him? Killing him from a strategic standpoint also makes sense, given Ava is quickly overpowered. Ava successfully gets a hit on Lilith by memorising her teleport patterns. If an attacker keeps making the same moves, it gets progressively easier to predict their movements and where they'll end up next. | |

Adaptational Heroism | |
| Warrior Nun / int_3f45f1e6 | comment |
Adaptational Heroism: Technically happens in translation as the Julian Salvius of the comic books was a much darker figure than the show's version, Jillian, who is a morally grey CEO. Julian was an immortal pagan Roman Emperor hell-bent on revenge against the Catholic Church while Jillian just wants to open a portal to Heaven so her sick son can live in peace; she is actually pretty chill (well, most of the time) towards Ava and the nuns once they find common ground. | |

Bittersweet Ending: Season 2 ends like this, though possibly more on a sweeter tone. Adriel is defeated and the OCS recovers, but many have been lost in the process, including Mary, Michael and Ava. Lilith is still not on speaking terms with her former sisters and seems to be preparing for a new holy war, her loyalties still in question. Beatrice leaves the order to live the life Ava wanted for her, and if the glowing Cruciform sword is anything to go off of, Ava might not be so dead after all. | |

Sealed Evil in a Can: One method for dealing with evil involves sealing it away forever so that it can't do any damage. The reason Adriel has been entombed underneath the Vatican is because he is not dead, and he is not the angel the Order's texts portray him to be. He's evil, he controls demons, and the entire first season is the unfolding of his plan to escape his prison. | |

Body Horror | |
| Warrior Nun / int_504a1991 | comment |
Body Horror: A lot. In the first episode alone, we watch the Halo burn its way into the corpse of Ava. Later examples include Lilith's demonic transformation (which only worsens in the second season where she grows scales and a pair of wings) and Adriel reforming himself after getting blown up, with a lovely angle showing him pulling a piece of shrapnel out of his jaw. | |

| Warrior Nun / int_50ed1af4 | comment |
Our Demons Are Different: The Tarasks and wraith-demons. The Tarasks are capable of taking physical form and have a more traditional demonic, minotaur-esque form. Wraiths are insubstantial and invisible to normal people, able to act only through the humans they possess. Both can be defeated by the Warrior Nun with a Divinium weapon. | |

Central Theme | |
| Warrior Nun / int_5ce7dbb9 | comment |
Central Theme: Responsibility in Season 1. Ava's responsibility to the OCS is frequently brought up, even though technically she has no loyalty to them. As the season progresses, she learns more and more about her predecessors, how crucial she is to the mission, and how her abilities and status as the Warrior Nun contribute to the OCS. Sacrifice, Selfishness, and Love in Season 2. Ava and Michael both display hints of selfishness, Ava particularly as she outright offers to run away with Beatrice and hide the Halo together, only to be turned down and repeatedly shoots down the idea under the mantra that there is always another way, which also ties in with her love for her newfound friends and Beatrice. Michael is more accepting, despite also being torn up and briefly accepting of a different possibility. Ultimately, both characters decide to go along with it, though Ava takes a brief "selfish" moment to kiss and embrace Beatrice, making it clear that her sacrifice is due to her love for Beatrice. | |

Bavarian Fire Drill | |
| Warrior Nun / int_62fd5552 | comment |
Bavarian Fire Drill: The Sisters of the OCS on several occasions use the fact that they actually are nuns to their advantage to infiltrate high security areas, approaching security in full religious garb and either distracting them by asking for help to get them to leave a room or just getting them to drop their guard and knocking them unconscious because who wouldn't trust a nun? Especially in deeply Catholic countries like Italy and Spain where the show is set. | |

Heroic Sacrifice | |
| Warrior Nun / int_6439de78 | comment |
Heroic Sacrifice: Mary ends up unintentionally pulling this by fending off a horde of possessed humans that kill her while the rest of the group escapes. Michael and Ava attempt to pull this to kill Adriel in Season 2, using a Divinium bomb with the hope that the ensuing explosion will kill them all and keep everyone else safe. It doesn't work, since Adriel can't be killed by anything from Earth, which includes Michael and the bomb within him. Almost played with in that both of them are very clearly hesitant with the idea, but truly believe there is no other option. | |

But for Me, It Was Tuesday: A particularly destructive example.

This, combined with his murder of Pope Duretti and blaming God on it result in Vincent betraying him and returning to the OCS. | |

Jerkass Has a Point: Adriel's motivation is actually pretty understandable. He wishes to eradicate the powerful institutions that oppress people and replace them with a religion of his own, directly facing Pope Duretti at times who manipulated the Vatican to gain power. However, he makes use of Wraith Demons and insidious tactics, showing that he's still a villain, despite his motives. | |

Meaningful Name | |
| Warrior Nun / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: Lilith is named after a demon in Jewish folklore who was originally made from the same material as Adam and left the Garden of Eden due to her pride. She is constantly chastised by the nuns for being driven by pride, which makes it almost impossible for her and Ava to get along. She eventually acknowledges that pride is a real problem for her. And just like the Biblical Lilith, she seems to have consorted with demons, or at least been healed and sent back by them. | |

One Dialogue, Two Conversations: In the first season finale, Mother Superion confronts Duretti on everything he's done from killing Shannon to the Vatican secret he's trying to steal for himself. Duretti is completely baffled; he's only been consolidating his political power to win the papal election. It's only when he asks Superion who is behind her accusations that the Awful Truth dawns on her — the real villain is Father Vincent, who directed the nuns to mistrust Duretti so that he could succeed in his plans. | |

In a similar fashion, "things change, when you realize not everything is about you." | |

Almost Kiss: A subtle example. At several points in the series, it seems like Ava is seriously considering kissing Beatrice, such as when they're in each other's arms after Ava successfully phases through twenty feet of stone, when they're dancing together in the Season 2 premiere, and when Ava is resurrected after falling from a great height. Averted as they finally kiss in the Season 2 finale. | |

Beatrice starts out as a dutiful member of the OCS before she meets Ava, who, as her actress Kristina Tonteri-Young has stated, represents who Beatrice wishes she could be (a free-loving and relaxed person). After the two become Best Friend's, Beatrice's loyalty shifts to fighting for and alongside Ava, whom she quickly becomes devoted to and also has feelings for. Her character growth culminates in her choosing to fight for Ava's safety rather than the church, even at the risk of the mission and the world. At Ava's request, she leaves the OCS to live a free life, something Season 1 Beatrice wouldn't even think of doing. | |

Big Bad: The nuns spend the series working hard to bring down Cardinal Duretti's before he can achieve his goal. While they can't stop his career plans, they're determined to stop his more secret ones. They're therefore completely blindsided when they discover that the Big Bad is actually Adriel, the being who gifted the Halo to Areala and whom the resulting Warrior Nuns believed was a hero and an angel. He's a thief with his own agenda and the events of the first season, including the framing of Duretti, is engineered by his servant, Father Vincent, for the purpose of freeing him. | |

They're initially introduced as monster-killers who have some deadly serious internal politics. The nuns end up uncovering a vast supernatural conspiracy at the heart of the Vatican centred on hiding the resting place of the angel Adriel's bones, which keeps demons attacking earth and therefore ensures the Church stays relevant in the eyes of the fearful. And then the season one finale reveals the real reason why the Church has been keeping Adriel buried beneath all that stone... | |

Playing the Heart Strings | |
| Warrior Nun / int_9aca7084 | comment |
Playing the Heart Strings: "One Way to Heal Her" in the Season 2 finale is a fittingly tragic and bittersweet instrumental that plays as plays as Beatrice is forced to send the wounded Ava into the Arc Realm, unsure if the two will ever see each other again. | |

One True Love | |
| Warrior Nun / int_9c4003a1 | comment |
One True Love: Ava and Beatrice are this to each other. While their time together is short, it's clear from the scenes they share and their subtle interactions that they value and care for each other greatly, quickly becoming the most important part of each other's lives. Ava turns to Beatrice as she's the only person who aids her during her difficult time in the Cat's Cradle, bonding with the Sister Warrior over a short period of time and even reassuring her that "she's beautiful" after Beatrice tearfully vents about her Dark and Troubled Past. Meanwhile, Beatrice becomes attached to Ava as she sees a version of herself in her, not tied down by the church or duty. They grow so close after the Time Skip to Season 2 that they both, at different points, try to get the other to abandon the fight and leave to just live their lives. | |

It's All About Me: Ava subtly expresses this type of behaviour early in the series, though for understandable reasons. She keeps running from the OCS to try and live with JC's group, but only after going to the OCS and experiencing their harsh training and lifestyle. A former quadriplegic, she vies for a more fun life rather than an existence getting restricted. She eventually returns to the OCS and fully commits to their mission, fully turning around by the end of the first season. | |

Both Sides Have a Point | |
| Warrior Nun / int_c02f148d | comment |
Both Sides Have a Point: In Season 2, the OCS is morally correct in wanting to beat Adriel as he uses parlor tricks and trickery to manipulate people into joining his cult. However, Adriel's motives are understandable, as he wants to rehabilitate the church and create a better world free of its oppression, which is a fairly noble goal. His way of going about it, however, is obviously destructive enough to warrant the OCS gearing up. | |

The double-agent, and Shannon's murderer, turns out to be Father Vincent, who is working for Adriel, a being that is very far removed from the angel the Order believes him to be. | |

Physical, Mystical, Technological: The three main factions of the series all have these elements. The OCS, despite their faith and the Warrior Nun, are an organisation of highly trained nun warriors who use modern weaponry and technology. They're the physical. The Arc Realm and the various Holy Relics with supernatural powers, as well as, Reya, Adriel, the Wraith Demons, and the Tarasks represent the Mystical. The Arq-Tech Corporation and the artificial plagues are meant to represent the technological. However, all sides blend with each other as the series progresses, but the core characteristics remain. | |

Red Herring: The nuns find themselves dealing with several people who don't turn out be quite the people they initially thought they were. The most significant is Cardinal Duretti, who is politically ambitious, knows about the secret Order and actively sabotages it by reassigning its most competent, but independent, members while bring in rejected candidates who are loyal to him. The nuns send the season working out what he's up to and how to stop him achieving his dastardly goal... until it turns out that he was only interested in the political situation and was being set-up by the real villain, Father Vincent. | |

Mundane Utility: Mary has a dagger made out of Divinium. It can kill demons. She uses it to hold a bird she cooked over a campfire while she pulls the meat off it. | |

Deadly Doctor | |
| Warrior Nun / int_fc1ee7d5 | comment |
Deadly Doctor: Nurse Francis, who took care of Ava at the orphanage, was a pretty awful bitch who wasn't sorry when Ava died on her watch. She's a serial killer who murdered a large number of orphans in her care (including Ava) as they aged out of the orphanage. She claimed it as an act of mercy, that those orphans would have had no chance to survive outside her care. | |

Brick Joke | |
| Warrior Nun / int_fe0330fb | comment |
Brick Joke: Early in Season 2, Camila quotes what seems to be a Bible verse only to specify it's a Dolly Parton lyric. Just before the OCS go to make their final affront, Mother Superion does the same, except it's a Talking Heads lyric. An example in the same episode. In the Season 2 finale, Ava jokes that Michael and her are relying on semantics to kill Adriel, as they're not entirely sure the Divinium bomb will do the trick. Later on, after the plan does fail, Ava gets her Halo powers back after Camila blows up a cross blocking its power. She uses her powers to summon a horde of Tarasks, calling the trick "semantics." | |

Beauty Is Never Tarnished | |
| Warrior Nun / int_fe614133 | comment |
Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Most of the time averted. Various Sister Warriors and Ava get the shit kicked out of them at several points and get fairly bloody. However, it's played straight in Season 2 where Michael gets his heart torn out through his back, and his chest is somehow intact, while Ava gets caught in the vicinity of a Divinium explosion, and still looks gorgeous afterwards. | |

Badass Preacher: Father Vincent looks pretty bookish, but does very well for himself whenever he needs to fight. Being a former cartel enforcer will do that. | |

| Warrior Nun / int_ff7f34c5 | comment |
Pet the Dog: While Miguel cracks a joke about Ava's late arrival (she was in the process of saying a very difficult goodbye to Beatrice and confessing her feelings with a kiss), he does ask her if she's okay when he notices she's genuinely torn up. | |
