Everything To Expect From The Warrior Nun Movie Trilogy
The countdown on the website sparked numerous speculations about the announcement, including the potential for Warrior Nun season 3 to be released on a different streaming platform than Netflix. However, with the news that Warrior Nun will now be returning as a trilogy of films, the destination for these movies remains uncertain. The films may find their home on a streaming platform such as Max or Prime Video, and there is also the possibility of a limited theatrical release upon their initial debut.
Warrior Nun season 2 set the stage for various significant storylines that can be further explored in the upcoming movie trilogy. These storylines revolve around the OCS and the mysterious dimension inhabited by Adriel and Reya. One particular storyline involves the relationship between Ava and Beatrice, which was abruptly disrupted when Ava had to journey to Reya's dimension to heal from life-threatening injuries. Without a doubt, the new Warrior Nun film trilogy will feature a long-awaited reunion between Ava and Beatrice, as hinted at by the appearance of a glowing divinium sword in the final moments of season 2.
English's announcement of a potential expansion of the Warrior Nun universe, including the incorporation of established characters, suggests that the franchise may extend beyond the planned trilogy. Consequently, this opens the doors for potential future projects such as a spin-off centered around Lilith or a prequel series featuring Father Vincent. As of now, there is no information regarding the release dates or venues for the trilogy. However, it is safe to assume that English, Barry, and the individuals involved in the revival of Warrior Nun will undoubtedly provide further updates on its comeback in the future.
