Episode 103: Simon Barry talks ‘Warrior Nun’
Showrunner Simon Barry returns to the YVR Screen Scene Podcast for a joyful and revealing conversation about Warrior Nun. Ten episodes of Warrior Nun dropped on Netflix on July 2, and almost immediately it became everyone’s newest obsession. The show is based on the comic book series Warrior Nun Areala by comic book artist Ben Dunn and tells the story of the Order of the Cruciform Sword, a fictional military order of badass nuns in the service of the Catholic Church. Like its source material, the latest incarnation of Warrior Nun is smart. It’s funny. It’s terrifying. It’s packed with fascinating characters, all of whom are clearly ice bergs with riveting stories yet to tell. And it explores the age-old battle between science and religion, and the role that faith plays when navigating both. Simon (who originally appeared on the YVR Screen Scene Podcast in October 2019) returns to reflect on Warrior Nun’s phenomenal first season – and drop a couple of crumbs about the future. Warning: this episode contains spoilers about season one of Warrior Nun.
