Based on a comic series by Beau Smith and created by writer Emily Andras, Wynonna Earp (Melanie Scrofano) is the great-great-granddaughter of legendary lawman Wyatt Earp. On her 27th birthday, she inherits a special power enabling her to send “revenants” (who are the reincarnated outlaws that Wyatt had killed) back to Hell. She carries her ancestor’s magic gun known as Peacemaker. Other targets include different supernatural beings that inhabit the Ghost River Triangle, a cursed territory near the Canadian Rockies that includes Purgatory, Wynonna Earp’s hometown.
Wynonna Earp was a US-Canada co-production, shot in Alberta. Each episode runs 43 minutes, which we round up to 60 minutes including the time reserved for commercials.
Note: Born in 1848, Wyatt Berry Stapp Earp was a real Old West lawman and gambler in the American West, including Dodge City, Deadwood, and Tombstone. Earp took part in the famous gunfight at the O.K. Corral.
Note: As with many series, there can be hundreds of actors with appearances in anywhere from 1 episode to 4 or 5. We list the Main Cast, which we define as anyone with 7 or more appearances in this series.
