that’s good warrior nun acting on netflix?

In this segment, you will notice that we compare the performance of warrior nun a Fate: The Winx Saga. Some may argue that’s an unfair comparison, but ultimately, both are big-budget, visual-effects-heavy young-adult sci-fi fantasy shows. Both also debuted their first few seasons in a similar time frame to each other and both had to wait long stretches before returning after the pandemic. Fate, as you may know, was recently canceled by Netflix.

Let’s start with the hours watched provided by the Netflix top 10.

The show debuted at #6 in week 1 with 26.22 million global hours. In week 2, viewing hours were up 6% to 27.74 million, but it probably wasn’t the big boom the show needed.

November 6, 2022 to November 13, 202226,220,00061
November 13, 2022 to November 20, 202227,740,000 (+6%)5two

A positive factor is that in week 2, warrior nun season 1 appeared in the top 10 with 20.10 million hours watched, meaning the relentless fan campaign may have encouraged viewers to give the show a try.

again, looking Fate: The Winx Sagait also saw a rebound in viewership from Season 1, but it wasn’t enough to keep the show going.

Looking at it in terms of CVE (that means taking the number of hours Netflix provides and dividing it by the length of the show), we can see that the show debuted in week 1 with a CVE of 4.5 million. that’s half of what Fate: The Winx Saga did in the first week.

What to expect from Warrior Nun season 3

Warning: spoilers ahead.

Before we delve into what to expect from Warrior Nun Season 3, let’s quickly recap the events of Season 2 Episode 8 titled “Jeremiah 29:13”.

The official synopsis for the final episode was as follows:

«Ava visits the other realm and returns with a new plan to end Adriel’s unholy charade, but it will require superhuman strength and painful sacrifices.»

At the end of season 2, there is a full war brewing with the season 2 finale in multiple big cliffhangers, but arguably some of the biggest questions are involved.

Adriel has been defeated after he was found to be in control of Earth, but with that threat gone, a bigger one will take its place, which will be the main driver for a third season. Add to that the lingering questions about Halo and Lilith’s transformation.

Beyond that, the order has been mostly rebuilt so it’ll be able to hold its own in season 3 with the lingering threats and as for relationships, it’s also mostly been resolved with Ava confessing her love for Beatrice.

A redditor predicts that “Season 3 would set up the events leading up to the holy war, Season 4. So this could be the last one if the show doesn’t gain enough traction.»
