Shadow & Bone And Warrior Nun Could Have Become Much Bigger Had They Continued

Both TV Shows Had Much More Story To Tell

Warrior NunandShadow and Boneeach had the potential to become much heavy and more pop than they already were . Sadly , Netflix was n’t unforced to risk it . The streaming serve seeminglyonly wants to reincarnate telecasting series that have test to be a large achiever right out of the gate(e.g . ,Stranger Things , Squid Game , Bridgerton , etc . ) However , not every show will become a viral cyclosis stumble in its first season . If Netflix gave its original phantasy serial time to grow ( and did a better caper advertise them ) , perhapsWarrior NunandShadow and Bonewould still be around .

The in force news is that Netflix is that aWarrior Nunmovie trilogyis in the works ; the bad newsworthiness is that it ’s unclear whether the films will continue the Netflix show ’s story or begin from scratch with a new mould .

Warrior NunandShadow and Bonealso had more floor to state after their respective second seasons . In fact , Warrior Nun ’s good was yet to follow . Season 2 even earned a 100 percentRotten Tomatoesscore , proving the show was pay off better with age . A third season could have expandedWarrior Nun ’s world , and it would probably have contained an epic dear narration . As forShadow and Bone , a third season might have adapted other Book in the Grishaverse . There were plenty of stories to go around , but Netflix decided time of year 2 was the closing .

Warrior Nun

Ava & Beatrice ’s story could have had a meet end based on Warrior Nun time of year 3 ’s plans , and that is unconvincing to happen in the film trilogy .

Why Streaming Platforms Have Canceled So Many Fantasy Shows Prematurely

Budgets Play A Large Part In Cancelations

Many factors go into Netflix ’s decision to renew or offset a TV serial . When it comes to fantasy shows , though , they seemingly get canceled more prematurely than most for one significant reasonableness — their budgets . It costs a circle to produce a project in the phantasy genre , given extra effects , arrange design , etc . Because of their large budget , there is more pressure on these shows to become the next big hit . If they do n’t meet expectations , it ’s easy for Netflix to cut them . EvenNetflix ’s fantasy television receiver series with passionate fanbases such asWarrior NunandShadow and Bonearen’t safe .
