Plot
editOn her 27th birthday, Wynonna Earp, the great-great-granddaughter of legendary lawman Wyatt Earp, inherits the special power to return revenants, the reincarnated outlaws that Wyatt had killed, back to Hell. Using her ancestor's magic gun, "Peacemaker," Wynonna works to break her family's curse by sending demons back where they belong. She also fights other supernatural beings that inhabit the Ghost River Triangle, a cursed territory near the Canadian Rockies that includes Purgatory, her hometown. After being recruited by the Black Badge Division (BBD), a secret government agency led by Special Agent Xavier Dolls, she is joined by an ageless Doc Holliday and Wynonna's sister, Waverly Earp. Nicole Haught, a Purgatory Sheriff's Deputy and Waverly's girlfriend, assists the team in her local police role.
The first season centers on Wynonna fighting the revenants who kidnapped her older sister Willa from their homestead when they were girls, and the threat posed by Bobo Del Rey, leader of the local revenants. In the second season, Wynonna discovers she is pregnant, while Waverly struggles with possession by a demon and doubts about her lineage. At the same time, two sister-wife widows of the dead sheriff who cursed Wyatt Earp seek to resurrect him. In the third season, the demon Clootie is resurrected and, as he seeks to find the entrance to the Garden of Eden, the team must work to stop him and prevent the resulting apocalypse. In the fourth season, Wynonna and Nicole must figure out a way to rescue Doc and Waverly, with the help of a new friend. Once rescued, Wynonna, Doc and Waverly return to find out that they have been gone longer than expected. While Waverly tries to help Nicole get past the trauma of their time apart, Wynonna searches for Peacemaker.

Reception
editIn the United States, season 1 averaged a total rating of 0.13 with 0.56 million viewers.[140] The season received a 79% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 14 reviews, with an average rating of 6.11/10. The critical consensus states: "What Wynonna Earp lacks in originality it more than makes up for in gritty, silly, supernatural fun."[141] Metacritic gave it an average score of 68 out of 100.[142]
Season 2 averaged a 0.12 rating in the U.S. with 0.50 million viewers.[143] Viewership among women aged 18–34 increased 44 percent, representing more than half of Wynonna Earp's audience.[144] The season received a 100% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 15 reviews, with an average rating of 8.33/10. The critical consensus states: "Wynonna Earp ups the ante with more action, more surprises, and more Melanie Scrofano as the titular sharp-tongued gunslinger."[145]
In the U.S., season 3 averaged a rating of 0.11 with 0.47 million viewers.[146] The season received a 100% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 14 reviews, with an average rating of 8.1/10. The critical consensus states: "Wynonna's back, action-packed, and dressed in black in the dynamic third season of Wynonna Earp."[147]
In Canada, overall viewership increased 52% on Space compared to season 1 on CHCH-DT.[71][60] Viewership of season 2 increased 30% compared to the first season, and made Space "the most-watched entertainment specialty channel" during the program's time slot.[93]
In its new series review, Collider gave Wynonna Earp four stars, calling it "a fresh and familiar take on zombies, the Wild West, and gunslinger culture" and "something that also feels different to anything we're seeing on TV currently, thanks not only to its setting, but its prominent placement of so many strong, profane, kickass female characters."[148] Digital Journal said the series was "smart" and "complex" with "a lot going for it".[149] The A.V. Club called Melanie Scrofano "the right woman for the job ... an easy, authoritative presence"; and "when it's allowed the room to run, Wynonna Earp delights in itself," adding that the series "could grow into the good-time Western pulp it has the potential to be."[150] In a post-season 1 review for Salon, Melanie McFarland wrote: "This modern Western proved its mettle by dint of unexpectedly weird plotting and witty dialogue ... [Melanie] Scrofano lends a hardened and slightly feral swagger to Wynonna that's vastly entertaining ... Much of the show's winning spirit rests in its exploration of family loyalty and the popular conviction that one's blood and dynastic ties compel one to fulfill a prescribed destiny."[151]
E! Entertainment Television named Wynonna Earp the "Best New Show" of 2016.[20] It was chosen by Variety as one of the 20 best new series of 2016, stating "what this prairie-set Canadian import lacks in budget, it makes up for in gumption, sass and camaraderie."[21] In its annual "Best of TV" highlight, Collider named Wynonna Earp the "Best New Sci-Fi" show of 2016.[22]
Maureen Ryan of Variety named Wynonna Earp one of the best television shows of 2017, praising its "fierce and committed performances".[23] The New York Times recommended Wynonna Earp as one of the television series to stream on Netflix, describing it as "internal mythology [that] can be a little too involved, but the characters' motivations are always clear, and the snarky dialogue is fun".[152]
"Wayhaught", the portmanteau for the relationship between Waverly Earp and Nicole Haught, was considered one of the favorite 2017 fan "ships" on Tumblr, and the series was praised for how it is portrayed and acknowledged by Dominique Provost-Chalkley and Katherine Barrell.[153]
LGBTQ+ representation
editWynonna Earp was a monumental series for LGBTQ representation specifically in its positive portrayal of the relationship between characters Waverly Earp and Nicole Haught. The show aired in 2016 during a hostile television environment for the LGBTQ+ community. Queer characters were often killed off, accumulating more than 25 queer women dying on "scripted TV and streaming shows in that year alone".[154] Emily Andras, the showrunner, made a promise early on that the queer characters in Wynonna Earp would survive. In the Season 1 finale, the harmful "Bury Your Gays" trope was challenged when Nicole survives being shot due to wearing a bulletproof vest. Many actors and creators of the show have expressed how the fandom's support shows just how important representation is, with Katherine Barrell saying, "WayHaught was one of the first, I think, examples in pop culture of how powerful a fandom can be when they finally see themselves onscreen" and Emily Andras saying, "It’s when you take a community of people that don’t feel represented in a way that makes their hearts happy, and makes them feel seen, and makes them feel loved, and included, and accepted, and celebrated, but when you do that you can create things like this. You can move mountains. And I think that’s the power of WayHaught."[155]
The show has earned three GLAAD Media Award nominations for their positive queer representation.[156]
Feminist representation
editWynonna Earp deals with many feminist themes throughout the series and highlights strong female characters who are not defined by their relationship to men. A notable episode called "Everybody Knows" engages in positive discourse on the topic of women's sexuality and dismantles ideas of shaming women for being sex positive while Wynonna tries to figure out the identity of her baby's father.[157] Another major form of female empowerment is found through the storyline of Wynonna's pregnancy that was added to the plot due to the unexpected pregnancy of its lead actress, Melanie Scrofano. The series' showrunner Emily Andras made it a point to incorporate Melanie's pregnancy into the show rather than hide it. Andras discusses the importance of this storyline by saying, "I think that’s a story that doesn’t always get told. This isn’t necessarily a woman in a monogamous [situation]. It’s a woman who lives a certain lifestyle, unapologetically, who has now found herself pregnant."[158]
Media information
editWynonna Earp producers and cast members appeared at the Calgary International Film Festival on September 30, 2017, in a special program showcasing film and television productions in Alberta, Canada. The event was live-streamed and featured behind-the-scenes stories, insights, and a Q&A session.[159][160]

Popularity
editWynonna Earp's fan base is credited with increasing the series' presence on social media and benefitting Syfy's "It's a Fan Thing" marketing campaign for niche audiences.[144]
In response to reportage that season 4 was jeopardized due to financial complications on the part of IDW,[96] dedicated fans began a social media campaign to save the series,[205][206][207] including electronic billboards in Times Square promoting Wynonna Earp.[208][209][210][211] In appreciation of their campaign, Melanie Scrofano sponsored a billboard thanking fans for their support.[212]
