Warrior Nun Plot and Cast
The climactic end to the first season of Warrior Nun left fans drooling for more kick-ass action. The Order of the Cruciform Sword’s true purpose was revealed, being nothing more than puppets for Adriel against the forces of Heaven. His true identity was revealed by Ava after he touches her.
The original knights of the order mistook him for an angel after he successfully killed a Tarask monster that followed him out of a demonic portal. Hiding himself away in the tombs of the Vatican, Adriel had hidden the halo inside the original Warrior Nun, and by creating the Order, gave him protection from Heaven.
After escaping his tomb, Adrial seeks to recapture the halo from the Order and proceed with his nefarious plans. Despite her gusto, Shotgun Mary was overwhelmed by the possessed forces of Adrial, leaving Ava and the other sisters to take on Adrial his small army of Wraith Demons.
The next season will see Ava and the Order bringing the fight to Adriel. With the devil now revealing himself to the world, instead of standing alone, the forces of heaven may descend upon the Vatican and give assistance to the Order. While outmatched in power, for the time being, Ava’s skill as the Warrior Nun is growing.
Given enough time, Ava is likely to be more than a match in combat against Adriel and his demonic powers. One thing is for certain, the existence of The Order of the Cruciform Sword is built on a lie. So it’s up to Ava and the remaining sisters to bring its new meaning. There’s also the little issue of Father Vincent’s betrayal, which lead to the demise of Sister Shannon. Suffice to say the girls may commit a cardinal sin if they seek to issue wrathful vengeance upon their former mentor.
Now talking about the cast, we should get to see Alba Baptista, Toya Turner, Thekla Reuten, Lorena Andrea, Kristina Tonteri-Young, Tristan Ulloa, Olivia Delcan, Joaquim de Almeida, Peter de Jersey, and Lope Haydn Evans in the lead roles.
Warrior Nun Season 2 Release Date
