Netflix sets the cast for Warrior Nun, a drama series inspired by the American manga Warrior Nun Areala. Last September, Netflix ordered Warrior Nun, along with October Faction and The I-Land.
Created by Ben Dunn and published by Antarctic Press, Warrior Nun Areala debuted in 1994. The narrative focuses on Sister Shannon Masters, a character who chooses avatars to execute her missions over time. In the past, the comic has been criticized for its use of religious imagery, while the title character has been correlated with “nunsploitation.” Most recently, films like Robert Rodriguez’s Machete and Jeff Baena’s The Little Hours have been associated with the nun-themed subgenre. To date, Warrior Nun Areala has produced 15 installments since the original Series 1, with the last being Warrior Nun Areala: Series 4, written by Anthony Zicari, and released from October 2001 to July 2003.

Per Deadline, Portuguese-Brazilian actress Alba Baptista will star as the 19-year-old title character, Ava, the series lead in Netflix’s Warrior Nun. In 2019, she’ll appear in the upcoming Portuguese film Patrick and the Italian feature Fatima, though she’s perhaps best known in her native country for portraying Leonor Neves in Jogo Duplo, appearing in 268 episodes of the telenovela. In Netflix’s Warrior Nun, Baptista’s character overcomes an abusive childhood and becomes part of an ancient order that fights demons on earth. The character reportedly wakes up in a morgue and discovers a divine artifact lodged in her back.
