Summary
AtSan Diego Comic-Con’sWynonna Earppanel, Tubi dropped a first-look trailer for its hotly anticipatedWynonna Earp: Vengeancespecial, and I couldn’t be more thrilled. Unlike other reunions — or, as Nicole Haught (Katherine Barrell) puts it in the trailer, “reboots” —Wynonna: Earp Vengeancehas a storyworth telling. At SDCC,Screen Rantlearned that the 90-minute movie of sorts is a self-contained narrative. Even though Earpers like myself who have watched all four seasons will find a ton to love about the special,Vengeanceis also more accessible to newcomers.
Despite a dedicated fanbase,Wynonna Earpwas axed ahead of its fourth outing. When it was revealed that Tubi had commissioned a one-off special, I, like many other passionate fans, rejoiced. In the show, Melanie Scrofano plays the titular character, who is the great-great-granddaughter of legendary lawman Wyatt Earp. Joined by a cursed Doc Holliday (Tim Rozon), her magic-wielding half-sister Waverly (Dominique Provost-Chalkley), and local sheriff Nicole, Wynonna protects her hometown of Purgatory from revenants. Now,SDCC’sWynonna Earp: Vengeancetrailerconfirms thatthe special is everything I’ve been hoping for — and missing.
The First Look At Wynonna Earp: Vengeance Is Everything I’ve Been Hoping For
The One-Off Tubi Special Looks Like A Charming Return To Form For Wynonna Earp
To put it broadly, there are many things weneed to see inWynonna Earp: Vengeance, and from what I glimpsed in the first-look trailer, it seems like Tubi’s special is going to deliver. Developed for TV by Emily Andras (Lost Girl),the supernatural Western horror series actually had a pretty satisfying conclusion. Although the fourth and final outing had to navigate a murky cancelation and the COVID-19 pandemic’s unique obstacles, I thoughtWynonna Earpended each character’s storyreally fittingly. In fact, Andras told SDCC attendees thatVengeance’s story considers what comes “after happily ever after.”
I think Wynonna Earp: Vengeance can be both a charming return to form and a fresh adventure.
In theWynonna Earpfinale, Doc and Wynonna decide to ride off into the sunset together, while Waverly and Nicole exchange vows and stick around Purgatory. I want to know what these beloved characters have been up to in the intervening years, and if they’re all content with the choices they made. TheWynonna Earpspecial can answer these questionsas it delves into a new chapter for the series. According to the trailer,Wynonna’s slain enemies are back for revenge. That said, I thinkWynonna Earp: Vengeancecan be both a charming return to form and a fresh adventure.
