Initially, according toWarrior Nunexecutive producer and showrunner Simon Barry, there was more to the final scene.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: How does the shocking cliffhanger set up a potential second season?

Where is Ava on her journey of accepting the role by the end of the season?
Her intentions going into the [season one] finale were genuinely to solve two problems.
In many ways, Ava’s journey as it relates to being the Warrior Nun is not resolved.

She is doing this to escape from the responsibilities in front of her and the institution built around it.
What does this mean for the characters, and Warrior Nun?
That’s a very powerful argument for many things.

You could say that about nationalism, the occult, about religion.
We wanted to challenge their reality and see how that played out.
Father Vincent’s betrayal is a big blow to Ava and the OCS.

How does that revelation impact our central heroes moving forward?
That is obviously fertile ground for season two, if we get one.
Well, it’s a great question.

I liked that we could reverse the audience’s opinion of Duretti without denying who he is.
He is very single-minded, will always look after his own interests.

The larger world will have to now come into play in a way if we get to season two.
How does the Salvius family fit into the next chapter of this story?
One could say that once Adriel emerges, it might be easy to discount Jillian’s role in this.
It’s a personal thing, and it’s also a story about a mother and losing her child.
That goes beyond the scientific component of her journey and the technological relationship to our mythology.
Ava and Beatrice (Kristina Tonteri-Young) have this wonderful relationship, one that social media is loving!
One that helped Ava express her situation, but also helped Beatrice do the same.
We were more interested in teeing up possibilities than exploring an absoluteness.
We want to have them be independent and fully formed and have this beautiful connection that we can experience.
Hopefully, it enhances everything else that’s going on in the show.
How difficult will it be for the Sisters to rebuild the Order of the Cruciform Sword?
The truth about the OCS is definitely the big red herring of season one.
On top of that, the reveal of Adriel and that truth of how their own organization was created.
In essence, the mistake that they’ve made in releasing Adriel.
If you take that into consideration, then the OCS is even more imperiled.
Can they exist in the way they did before?
The answer is they can’t.
Warrior Nunis available to stream now on Netflix.
