WYNONNA IS BACK
In addition to Andras, many from the original series are expected to return. Primary cast members Melanie Scrofano (Wynonna), Tim Rozon (Doc Holliday), Dom Provost-Chalkley (Waverly Earp), and Katherine Barrell (Nicole Haught) will all reprise their roles. Paolo Barzman, who directed 21 episodes, including the finale, is also back to helm the special. The return of so many key components of the original series is sure to be welcomed by fans.
Neither the premiere date for the special nor the plot details were announced. However, when asked for hints on the special, Andras told Vanity Fair, who broke the news:
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.
While audiences wait for the special to premiere later in 2024, the original series can be found on Netflix.
