Video: Wynonna Earp teaser trailer revealed

2 Comments

Canadian Wynonna Earp fans already had a debut date to get excited about. Now we’ve got a teaser trailer to salivate over. The live action take on Beau Smith’s comic drops Monday, March 28, on CHCH and U.S. broadcaster Syfy just got our hearts pumping with a peek at what the series will look like. In a word? Gorgeous. And there’s plenty of snark thanks to executive producer and showrunner Emily Andras (Lost Girl).

Smith’s comic recounts the adventures of Wynonna Earp—Wyatt Earp’s granddaughter—as she takes down demons and other supernatural baddies. In the 13-episode series Melanie Scrofano takes on the lead role; among Wynona’s posse are Doc Holiday (Tim Rozon), Agent Dolls (Shamier Anderson) and Wynona’s sister, Waverly (Dominique Provost-Chalkley).

“Some kids inherit money,” the trailer begins. “Others get talent. Me?  I got a demon-killing gun.” Check it out below.

Wynonna Earp debuts Monday, March 28, at 10 p.m. ET on CHCH.

I love the little girl, Ella (Ballentine). And I knew Sara (Botsford) from The West Wing, she played the wife of John Spencer’s character.

“You have to be ruled by the material with Anne of Green Gables. You can’t say, ‘Oh, well, here’s an opportunity for me.’ Everybody has a role to play.” Continue reading.

TV Eh B Cs podcast 40: Keeping Company with Ellis and Morgenstern

So enjoyed this interview with Mark and Stephanie. Will us in the States get to see this great show? Loved Flashpoint and they could bring it back and would still be a big hit. Thanks, Anthony. —Mary

Baby talk on Murdoch Mysteries

The baby is so adorable, I just want to reach through the TV screen and hug him. And it was great fun to see Crabtree let down his hair, so to speak. Love the inventions! —Helen

Who will win Season 3 of MasterChef Canada?

I am not convinced it’s Berg. My bet is either on Zhara or Robyn. Zara is young with a touching story and Robyn of thechewishkitchen’s plating is out of this world. —TVFoodie
