Taking to Twitter to discuss, one fan wrote: "Warrior Nun being cancelled is so disappointing. I hate that it's not surprising at this point too. LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and even female-led shows are seemingly held to a higher (and apparently unattainable) standard. This same audience should not have to live through this every time." Another person added: "I loved warrior nun. This sucks. @SimonDavisBarry. Hope someone saves this show. I know these things are possible."
