Netflix have added to the cast for Warrior Nun’s second season.

Deadline is reporting that Meena Rayann (Game of Thrones), Jack Mullarkey (Vikings: Valhalla) and Richard Clothier (Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them) are set to recur in the show about Ava, a 19-year-old woman (Alba Baptista) who wakes up in a morgue with a new lease on life and a divine artefact embedded in her back. She discovers she now is part of an ancient order that has been tasked with fighting demons on Earth, and powerful forces representing both Heaven and Hell want to find and control her. The show is created and showrun by Simon Barry based on manga.

Rayann will play Yasmine Amunet. Yasmine is a Coptic Nun who is also a scholar and freelance journalist. Yasmine is an intellectual, not a fighter, who finds herself drawn into Warrior Nun Ava’s journey. She is a positive, funny, light-hearted character.

Mullarkey will portray Miguel, a charismatic but mysterious activist who gets caught up in Ava’s mission. He is a keeper of many secrets, and outsiders find him very difficult to figure out.

Clothier is Cardinal William Foster. As the second in command at the Vatican, Cardinal Foster is the type of man you want backing you up. Straightforward, loyal and brilliant, he has fulfilled his duties to the letter since his induction into the church.
