The Netflix show Warrior Nun is about an orphaned teen who is chosen as the Halo-Bearer for a secret sect of demon-hunting nuns. It has a Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Daredevil vibe. Finnish actor Kristina Tonteri-Young plays Sister Beatrice on the show and describes her character as a tactician who is calm, intelligent, emotionally reserved and also queer.
During our interview, Tonteri-Young discusses how her training as a ballet dancer helped her learn fight choreography and how filming Warrior Nun was a crash course on all things film and TV. We also talk about how the show smartly approaches themes like empowerment, individuality, good vs. evil and religion vs. science. Tonteri-Young even opens up about growing up in Finland, going to school in London and learning to surf at Rockaway Beach, NY.
