Wynonna Earp last aired on Syfy in Spring of 2021, but apparently that was not the show’s last ride as it will be returning with a 90-minute special later this year on Tubi TV. Vanity Fair broke the news and is referring to it as a “scripted special” instead of a movie, but the latter description appears to be more accurate. Regular cast members Melanie Scrofano, Tim Rozon, Dom Provost-Chalkley, and Katherine Barrell will be returning and it will be titled Wynonna Earp: Vengeance. Following is what series creator Emily Andras told Vanity Fair about the film which will “feature a revenge-driven female villain”:
The special will catch up with the Wynonna Earp characters some time after the end of season four. “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. 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 favorite—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.”
Shooting is set to begin soon, with Earp veteran Paolo Barzman directing, and the film should debut on the free streaming service later this year. There is currently no indication that this could lead to the promised fifth season that Syfy never produced, and in the article title Vanity Fair refers to it as “One Last Ride”. But this is still a testament to the efforts by dedicated “Earpers” to save the show and proves that sometimes those campaigns do produce results.
Wynonna Earp follows the great-great-granddaughter of Wyatt Earp who inherits her father’s magical gun and her family’s legacy fighting supernatural beings who pose a threat to the people living in and around the Ghost River Triangle, a cursed territory near the Canadian Rockies. It is based on the IDW comic book series of the same name by Beau Smith.
