From Ariel Sobel:

Link: By refusing to bury its gays, Wynonna Earp changes the TV game
“This genre is particular, is fresh for subverting it and taking all of those traditional male roles and replacing them with women or people of color and LGBTQ characters. It just felt like it was a way to reinvent something that lived in the land of the patriarchy and make it completely, completely fresh. The myth is that the American West is a place you can reinvent yourself, it’s a place of individuality, but it seemed to have only been a place where white men got to be the heroes.” Continue reading.

From Maggie Stankiewicz of Starry Mag:

Link: Wynonna Earp: This Generation’s Chosen One
If you’ve ever found yourself immersed in geek culture at some point between the year 1997 and today, chances are that you’ve heard the old adage, “In every generation there is a Chosen One. She alone will stand against the vampires, the demons, and the forces of darkness. She is the Slayer.” Joss Whedon’s camp-fest cult hit turned feminist icon Buffy the Vampire Slayer has transcended her roots to become a staple in popular culture, the portrait of a reluctant heroine and the inspiration behind decades of “strong female characters.

Megan Follows tapped for recurring role on Space original series Wynonna Earp

From a media release:

Iconic Canadian actress, Megan Follows (REIGN) has been cast as Michelle Earp, Wynonna (Melanie Scrofano) and Waverley’s (Dominique Provost-Chalkley) mysteriously absent mother. This reveal follows the shocking cliffhanger of Season 2, when fans discovered that Mama Earp is indeed alive.

“Megan Follows is one of Canada’s most beloved and versatile performers, and we are beyond thrilled to have her onboard for such an iconic role,” said showrunner Emily Andras. “Her ferocity and fearlessness will fit in fabulously with the rest of our phenomenal cast.”

Follows is best known for her role as Anne Shirley in iconic Canadian mini-series ANNE OF GREEN GABLES and Queen Catherine de Medici in REIGN. Other notable credits include HEARTLAND, SECOND CHANCES, and STRONG MEDICINE.

Following an emotional and surprising Season 2 finale that saw Wynonna give birth to the next Earp heir, she’s now hell-bent on dispatching all remaining Revenants and other supernatural beings to end the cycle of violence between future heirs and Wyatt Earp’s demonic outlaws. Armed with Wyatt’s demon-killing six-shooter, Peacemaker, and her battle-seasoned team of demon hunters Doc Holliday (Tim Rozon, BEING HUMAN), Agent Xavier Dolls (Shamier Anderson, Race), Waverly Earp (Dominique Provost-Chalkley, Avengers: Age of Ultron), Nicole Haught (Katherine Barrell, WORKIN’ MOMS), and Jeremy Chetri (Varun Saranga, WORKIN’ MOMS), Wynonna challenges fate, faces new foes, and makes life-altering sacrifices in order to break the curse once and for all.

WYNONNA EARP Season 3 is currently in production in Calgary and slated to return to Space in 2018.
