Warrior Nun has a mischievous tendency (oh, yes) to leave us hanging on the edge of our seats with each season's finale, and the second season was no exception. It's precisely why we yearn for more.

This means that war looms on the horizon for our beloved Warrior Nun—a complicated situation given that Ava has her hands full with other pressing matters in a potential third season. These include the mysteries surrounding the Halo and the surprising transformation of Lilith.
But fear not, for we have faith in Ava. She has never led us astray before. And our trust in creator Simon Barry remains unwavering, especially considering his previously mentioned master plan spanning five to seven seasons.
However, these plans may not be set in stone. Even when Barry believed the show would return to Netflix, he admitted that the vision for season three was still flexible. As a writer, it's crucial to avoid painting oneself into a corner by the end of a season.

As Barry aptly stated (via Screen Rant), "It's never solely about the destination; it's always about the journey.
