Space Renews Canadian Supernatural Sensation WYNONNA EARP for Third Season

From a media release:

Space continues to fuel its schedule with high-octane, Canadian original productions as it announced today it has committed to an additional 12 episodes of fan-favourite western-horror drama, WYNONNA EARP. Created by Emily Andras, produced by Calgary-based SEVEN24 Films, and distributed globally by IDW Entertainment, Season 3 of WYNONNA EARP sees the return of Canadian actor Melanie Scrofano as the titular demon hunter of the one-hour cult hit, slated to debut in 2018.

WYNONNA EARP follows legendary lawman Wyatt Earp’s descendant, Wynonna (Scrofano), who inherits his mystical gun, Peacemaker. With it, Wynonna and her posse of dysfunctional allies must fight against supernatural beings and other paranormal occurrences in a raucous, whisky-soaked struggle to break her family’s demonic curse.

Andras (KILLJOYS, LOST GIRL) developed the wildly imaginative series for television and serves as Executive Producer and Showrunner. SEVEN24’s Jordy Randall and Tom Cox serve as Executive Producers along with Ted Adams and David Ozer, as well as Todd Berger and Rick Jacobs.

Since its premiere on June 9, Season 2 of WYNONNA EARP has seen its total audience more than double with a 52% increase compared to Season 1, and seen a 73% increase in the key A18-49 demo. During its Fridays at 10 p.m. ET timeslot, Space is the most-watched entertainment specialty network.

In the next episode, “Future in the Past” (Friday, July 28 at 10 p.m. ET), Wynonna has an opportunity to discover the origins of the Earp curse while her team races to save the future.

WYNONNA EARP was developed for television by Emily Andras who also serves as executive producer, writer, and showrunner. Executive producers are Jordy Randall (HEARTLAND), Tom Cox (YOUNG DRUNK PUNK), David Ozer, Ted Adams, Rick Jacobs, and Todd Berger. Brian Dennis (THE BEST LAID PLANS) is producer. The writing team spearheaded by Andras includes Alexandra Zarowny, Brendon Yorke, John Callaghan, and Caitlin Fryers. Directors are Paolo Barzman, Ron Murphy, Brett Sullivan, and April Mullen.

WYNONNA EARP is produced by SEVEN24 Films in association with Space and Bell Media and distributed by IDW Entertainment.

From Dalene Rovenstine of Entertainment Weekly:

Link: Wynonna Earp EP explains that big baby revelation
“We really don’t know, and it feels like Wynonna is less interested in finding out until she has to. What’s important to her is that she’s going through all of this with the best person she knows: her sister, Waverly. You know, an Earp. Except — not an Earp??” Continue reading.

“There’s been so much craziness lately that that story for Waverly had been put on the backburner, but with this new Earp coming into the world, it felt natural that Waverly couldn’t keep this a secret anymore. Where the girls take it from here is anybody’s guess. Not me, I know what happens, but anybody else.” Continue reading.

“Emily [Andras] and I follow each other on Twitter. We’re sort of social media friends, and I was well aware of the show. I read for the pilot; I read for the Dolls (Shamier Anderson) character. So, I guess she was aware of what I was capable of.” Continue reading.

“This year, we’re seeing him definitely a little more vulnerable, in the sense that he realizes he’s all alone, and the family that he has, is the Earp sisters, and I don’t think he wants to walk away from that. He’s finally a part of something that really means something, and I think that it’s important for him to stay being a part of that, no matter what.” Continue reading.

“One of the things I love about John Stead episodes, because he’s so intimately familiar with the show, is that he always gets those small moments. Whether it’s a look or a move, not only in fight scenes, but in dialogue scenes as well. Little character moments, character beats that other directors may miss or take for granted.” Continue reading.

From Bridget Liszewski of The TV Junkies:

Link: Killjoys: Julian Doucet talks “The Lion, the Witch and the Warlord”
“I think a third season does allow you to take the time for a “detour” episode like this. The audience knows the game and is ready for the expansion packs; the actors are hungry to take their characters to new places; the writers know how to write to the actors’ strengths and how to shade the colors in more inventive ways. That being said, part of the struggle with Killjoys is we’re always trying to cram a regular thirteen-episode season into ten episodes. So even if we get to take a delicious road trip into Pree’s backstory, it still has to serve the greater arc of the season. It still has to pay off what we’ve set in motion. As Pree would say, there are no free rides in Killjoys. Except maybe Johnny. But that’s between him and the Sexers.” Continue reading.

“There’s disagreements. They’re very different people. They look at the world in very different ways but they love each other and respect each other so much that they work through the stuff and I think that’s a realistic relationship and that’s a good friendship. You’re not always going to agree with your friends or family. You work through it and talk about it, and then you move on. There’s still that level of love and respect at the end of the day.” Continue reading.
