This follows Netflix’s trend of cancelling series early in their run based on the streamer’s algorithms and other data, even ones with a strong following. Currently fans, as well as Barry and other cast and crew of Warrior Nun, have already started a campaign to save and renew the series either at Netflix or for another streaming service to pick it up.
