Fans rejoice! Wynonna Earp, the supernatural horror series, will return to screens this year. Show creator Emily Andras reunited with the cast to confirm the 90-minute scripted special on Tubi, tentatively titled Wynonna Earp: Vengeance, will air later this year.
The cult favourite debuted in 2016 and ran for 49 episodes across four seasons, before coming to an end in 2021. Original cast members Melanie Scrofano (Wynonna Earp), Tim Rozon (Doc Holiday) Dom Provost-Chalkley (Waverly Earp) and Katherine Barrell (Nicole Haught) have all been confirmed to return for the special, as per their interview with Vanity Fair.
The special will jump forward in time and will feature a revenge-driven female villain. “Doc and Wynonna have been on an adventure, and Waverly and Nicole have been at home in [the Earp hometown of] Purgatory, doing their thing,” explained Andras. “I think it’s going to be really interesting to see, hopefully, what gets everybody home—maybe facing a challenge they’ve never faced before, something pretty intense.
It’s all your favourite—hopefully—character moments, but also a little bit about growing up and sort of, like, being who you are now and earning all your choices.” Despite the show having a fiercely loyal fan base, known as the Earpers, the special has been designed to be “a gateway drug” for new viewers (of course, Earpers have been taken into consideration).
