Well let’s just hop right into today’s Pop Culture Fix because I almost cannot even believe it!
+ Warrior Nun showrunner Simon Barry announced this morning on Twitter that fans have actually done it! They have saved the show! There’s no details yet, only that Warrior Nun has risen from the ashes, which is honestly the most unreal-amazing thing I have ever seen fandom accomplish, and I have seen fandom get A LOT of stuff done in my 15 years writing professionally on this gay internet. Congratulations, y’all!
Today I’m happy to officially report that because of your combined voices, passion and amazing efforts – #WarriorNun will return and is going to be more EPIC than you could imagine. More details to come! SOON! Thank-you!! #SaveWarriorNun #WarriorNunSaved ❤️🎬 pic.twitter.com/yuTbRR2L3q

so happy for Warrior Nun !
I am a benevolent God.
I’M LITERALLY TEAR-Y RIGHT NOW! LIKE I ALMOST FELL DOWN! We’re all so used to having good things taken away from us that I just… I’m so happy for Warrior Nun fans!
I just can’t let myself get excited about Warrior Nun until we get more details. TVLine says, “Sources confirm to TVLine that while no deals are in place discussions are indeed underway to revive the series via a standalone movie or a shortened final season in order to give fans closure — but not on Netflix. It remains unclear where the project would potentially land.” If this is true, Simon’s really playing with fire here by making it sound like it’s a done deal. I also wonder how the writers strike and potential actors strike are going to affect this. It’s not like Simon can write or film anything anytime soon.
That’s what I’m wondering as well. Honestly, there have been a ton of movie and tv announcements lately and I’m like “When is this even getting made?”. Because the writers strike doesn’t look like it’s getting resolved anytime soon and now the actors may go on strike as well.
Has anyone here watched Glamorous yet!? I’m surprised there hasn’t been much about it on here yet… I loooved Britt and Venetia they’re adorable we love happy gay people!!!
It’s sooo good. So casually queer and joyful!
I’m glad someone else feels that way!! I’m hoping autostraddle will write about it!
I know I should just be thankful – right, just shut up and take what queer I can – and it is fanastic that Warrior Nun has been saved. But Sweet Xena, I am still shedding tears for ALOTO.
She is risen. Praise Reya.
Aside from Warrior Nun and Wynonna Earp, how many shows (especially ones with queer lead/main characters) have been resurrected? I can’t think of any other.
That I can think of:
Brooklyn Nine-Nine was cancelled by Fox then picked up by NBC (but I don’t know this was help by fans support).
Community was cancelled then saved for a final season.
Copaganda is outdated almost all the real people behind B 99 agreed. Community shouldn’t have gotten a last season anyways, neither of those shows were queer.
Had to stop and think about this one, but all I’ve got is Sense8, One Day at a Time, and Tuca & Bertie.
One Day at a Time was resurrected on a different streamer.
