Today it was “Wynonna Earp’s” turn to take the stage at the 2016 San Diego Comic-Con, and the show came armed with a big announcement: Syfy has renewed it for a second season.
SEVEN24 Films and IDW Entertainment, a subsidiary of IDW Media Holdings, shared the news during the “Wynonna Earp” panel at SDCC, where the full cast appeared as guests. The freshman series scored big with both critics and fans, becoming a hit on social media, spawning hashtags, and trending weekly with each new episode. It recently nabbed the E! News TV Scoop Award for Best New Series of 2016.
Developed by showrunner and executive producer Emily Andras, the series stars Melanie Scrofano, Shamier Anderson, Tim Rozon, and Dominique Provost-Chalkley; it is based on the IDW Publishing comic book series created by Beau Smith.
“In just one season, ‘Wynonna Earp’ has struck a chord with the fans,” said IDW Entertainment President David Ozer. “We look forward to continuing this epic journey.”
“I’m absolutely thrilled we have the opportunity to deliver more of our witty, female-led, kickass, diverse supernatural series to our passionate fan base around the world,” said Emily Andras.
“The strong female characters in this series have turned viewers into passionate fans,” said SEVEN24 Films’ Jordy Randall. “We can’t wait to see our amazing cast back in the roles that Emily has crafted for them.”
SEVEN24’s Jordy Randall and Tom Cox, IDW’s Ted Adams and David Ozer, Banditos Yanquis’ Todd Berger, and Circle of Confusion’s Rick Jacobs will all serve as executive producers.
Season 2 is set to air on Syfy in 2017.
