The Nun II

Right now you can watch The Nun II in the US on YouTube TV and Cinemax Amazon Channel, and in the UK on Netflix — and it holds up to as much attention as you give it. It knows exactly what kind of film it is from the opening scene, and never loses that thread. With 2,506 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Watch it for Taissa Farmiga — one of the stronger performances out there right now. Start it on YouTube TV whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

There is a reason The Nun II keeps coming up in conversation. The writing in The Nun II treats its characters as people first, plot devices second. In 1956 France, a priest is violently murdered, and Sister Irene begins to investigate. She once again comes face-to-face with a powerful evil. Taissa Farmiga and Anna Popplewell lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2023. The performances in The Nun II do a lot of work in the silences between the dialogue. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

The Nun II is what you recommend to people who say they do not really watch much. It has built its own audience without needing a direct comparison. Short enough to finish in one sitting, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Taissa Farmiga is the centre of it, and it is one of their strongest performances on record. The patience it asks of you early on is paid back with interest.
