Our Review
Warrior Nun (2020) is a action and fantasy series from Netflix. It has built a run of 18 episodes. It premiered on July 2, 2020. Viewers rate it 7.3 out of 10. It is currently ended. It runs 2 seasons.
What Warrior Nun Is About
Inspired by the Manga novels, Warrior Nun revolves around a 19 year-old woman who wakes up in a morgue with a new lease on life and a divine artifact embedded in her back. She discovers she is now part of an ancient order that has been tasked with fighting demons on Earth, and powerful forces representing both heaven and hell want to find and control her.
What to Expect When You Watch
The format keeps each instalment self-contained enough to drop into, the full run covers 18 episodes, spread across 2 seasons and it leans into its action/fantasy roots while leaving room for the quieter character beats.
Performance-wise the series leans on Alba Baptista, Kristina Tonteri-Young and Lorena Andrea to carry the emotional weight, with the rest of the ensemble filling out the world around them.
Cast and Creative Team
Alba Baptista, Kristina Tonteri-Young, Lorena Andrea, Tristán Ulloa, Thekla Reuten and Sylvia De Fanti lead the cast.
Key roles include Alba Baptista as Ava Silva; Kristina Tonteri-Young as Sister Beatrice; Lorena Andrea as Sister Lilith; Tristán Ulloa as Father Vincent; Thekla Reuten as Jillian Salvius.
Why It Stands Out
Fans of action, fantasy and supernatural have a clear reason to give this one a shot. It sits comfortably alongside Netflix’s other originals, a 7.3/10 audience score puts it in steady company and it commits to its premise instead of hedging between tones.
Released in 2020 and carried by Netflix with the series still ended, it lands hardest with action and fantasy viewers.
How Warrior Nun Compares
If Warrior Nun lands for you, the next stops are Avatar: The Last Airbender, Attack on Titan and Star Trek: The Next Generation, which share its action/fantasy lean.
Each of those sits at a different point on the same spectrum, so they make a natural follow-up once you finish the run here.

On the whole Warrior Nun is the kind of series that rewards a patient watch, with Alba Baptista and Kristina Tonteri-Young doing the heaviest lifting, a tone that stays true to its action/fantasy roots, It has held up since 2020 and so if the premise sounds like your lane, the execution holds up.
The Bottom Line
Warrior Nun is a safe bet for anyone already inside the action and fantasy lane, at 18 episodes it is an easy run to work through, the audience score holds around 7.3/10 and so there is little risk in starting it tonight.
Verdict: 7.3/10. Watch it if you want action/fantasy you can settle into.
