An enthusiastic and determined fan campaign to revive it followed, with an online petition garnering over 120,000 signatures and the hashtag #SaveWarriorNun tweeted more than five million times. The series was also a hit with critics, with season 2 earning 100% on review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes.
It was just one of many original Netflix shows culled by the streamer in the past year, with other titles including 1899, a mind-bending drama from the creators of Dark, and Mike Flanagan's horror series The Midnight Club. Warrior Nun, however, is the only one who has managed to reverse its fate – so far, at least.
