The Interview Show with Wynonna Earp showrunner Emily Andras (podcast edition) #272

This summer The Interview Show went on the road to Alberta's Canadian Rockies to attend the Banff World Media Festival 2018. At the festival, I got to hobnob with actors, directors, producers and writers creating innovative content for a world audience. In the palatial Fairmont Banff Springs Resort and Luxury Hotel‎, I hung out with Emily Andras, the showrunner of Wynonna Earp, a supernatural Western horror television series, airing on Syfy and Space, starring Melanie Scrofano. This scrappy indie Canadian TV series has carved out a devoted fan following (of people who like kickass female gunslingers and unkillable gays.) The show is about to launch its third season July 16th, so we chatted about the challenges and successes the show has faced so far. What was it like turning an indie comic book (created by Beau Smith) into a TV show? What is the Bury Your Gays TV trope? How did Wynonna Earp start the Unkillable Gays TV Trope? How do you raise the stakes in a show about battling demons if some characters can't die? What's it like when you lead actor tells you she's pregnant after you've already written six scripts for season two? Which Canadian Icon will play Wynonna's long-lost mother in season three? You'll have to listen to find out! Tracks played on the podcast edition of the show... 1) Wynonna Earp opening, unreleased... edit of Jill Andrews, Tell That Devil single (2016) "Tell That Devil" 2) Jill Andrews, Tell That Devil single (2016) "Tell That Devil" NO songs CANCON
