#SaveWarriorNun Campaign Press Release June 4th, 2023
Netflix's Disregard for LGBTQ+ Storyline in Warrior Nun Uncovered During Pride Month
LOS ANGELES, June 4, 2023 - As Pride Month celebrations take hold globally, The Order, an independent consortium of Warrior Nun fans, is revealing a concerning pattern within Netflix - a seeming aversion towards promoting LGBTQ+ content. This information, disclosed during Pride Month, amplifies the significance of our campaign for equal representation in the entertainment industry.
Key Findings:
- Netflix's Opposition to LGBTQ+ Content: David Hayter, co-producer and writer for Warrior Nun, revealed at the OCS Conclave online Warrior Nun event that Netflix executives were significantly opposed to the evolving romantic relationship between lead characters Ava and Beatrice, dubbed 'Avatrice' by fans.
- Undue Neglect and Premature Cancellation: Despite substantial viewership and an audience score of 99% on Rotten Tomatoes, Netflix canceled Warrior Nun merely 33 days after Season 2 premiered, raising questions about Netflix's motivations.
- Impressive Success Against the Odds: Warrior Nun Season 2 made it into Netflix's Top 10 shows for three weeks in November 2022, with an estimated viewership of 21 million worldwide for the series as a whole. This success, achieved despite zero promotional support, underscores the show's global appeal and its unjust cancellation.
- Systemic Cancellation of LGBTQ+ Shows: Netflix has canceled nine shows featuring sapphic storylines in the past five years, three of which occurred in 2022 alone, including Warrior Nun, highlighting a systemic issue with LGBTQ+ representation on the platform.
