Netflix’s fantasy series has unleashed Season 2 to the public and the show’s premise is a unique one. We reveal if Warrior Nun is based on a comic book and dive into where the idea came from.

Season 2 of Warrior Nun was renewed just one month after the debut season’s July 2020 release and was met with mostly positive reviews. Hopefully, Season 2 ratings will follow suit.

Created by Simon Davis Barry for Netflix and based on the comic book character, Warrior Nun Areala, by Ben Dunn, the fantasy drama follows orphan Ava Silva who discovers she has supernatural powers that led her to join an order of warrior nuns, starring Alba Baptista, Toya Turner, Thekla Reuten, Lorena Andrea, Kristina Tonteri-Young, and Tristán Ulloa.

Is Warrior Nun Based on a Comic Book?

Yes, Warrior Nun is based on a 1994 manga-styled American comic book character called Warrior Nun Areala, created by Ben Dunn and published by Antarctic Press.

Even though the Warrior Nun Areala series began in 1994, the character is actually developed from Shanna Masters, who first appeared in the March 1993 release Ninja High School #37.

The Areala run follows Sister Shanna Masters, who is a member of the military order of Warrior Nuns and Magic Priests known as the Order of the Cruciform Sword. Shanna becomes the latest avatar to do Valkyrie Areala’s bidding after the Norse figure abstained from pagan practices to follow the way of Jesus Christ.

The character of Areala is loosely based on the traditionalist Catholic organization, the Fraternité Notre-Dame. Dunn was inspired to create the character after reading about Sister Marie Chantel and her fellow nuns, who learned taekwondo in Hell’s Kitchen in order to combat the dangers of the neighborhood – even though they insisted that their training was just for sport.

Netflix has Plenty of Source Material to Adapt

Now that questions are being asked about Warrior Nun Season 3, fans have nothing to worry about when it comes to source material.

A Season 3 renewal will all depend on the numbers and if Season 2 has been popular enough because the Warrior Nun source material is packed.

Between 1994 and 2002, the Warrior Nun series published 17 runs, compiling over 100 issues stacked with content that can be adapted.
