### Filming

Pre-production for the second season began in late May 2021 and filming began on July 26, 2021 in Spain and will conclude in late 2021. The main unit of the series wrapped up filming on November 3, 2021 according to Simon Barry. As with other productions, filming of the second season of *Warrior Nun* was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Simon Barry, however, stated that filming in Spain carried an unusual advantage in that so much of life is outdoors that places such as restaurants could stay open because they had an outdoor component. Thus, a lot of time was spent shooting in outdoor locations. He did note, however, that there were a few takes where people were wearing masks in the background because the crew forgot to tell them to take them off.

## Reception

The second season of *Warrior Nun* currently holds a 100% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes with 10 critic reviews. Alex Cranz of *The Verge* stated that "The breeziness with which the second season of *Warrior Nun* moves through its plot is a welcome change from the first season and makes the show an easy and fun weekend binge," while Anna Govert of *Paste* magazine feels that the series "finds its footing" in the second season. As of the evening of December 4, 2022, the season holds an unprecedented audience score of 99% on Rotten Tomatoes, with close to 6,000 ratings. During its first week of release, the second season became Netflix's third most watched television series globally despite no money whatsoever being spent on promotion. The season re-emerged into the global top 10 in its second week of release. Despite the strongly positive reception, viewership was reportedly not strong enough for Netflix to consider a third season and the program was canceled on December 13, 2022.

## Trivia
