Beau Smith’s comic Wynonna Earp is heading for Syfy courtesy of Killjoys executive producer Emily Andras.

The series will star Damien’s Melanie Scrofano as Wynonna, with Tim Rozon as “legendary con artist Doc Holliday”, and Shamier Anderson as the mysterious Agent Dolls. According to the network, Wynonna Earp is “a fast-paced, contemporary thriller that follows Wyatt Earp’s great granddaughter as she battles demons and other supernatural beings. Wynonna is a witty and wild modern day gunslinger, using her unique abilities and a dysfunctional posse of allies to bring the paranormal to justice.”

“Wynonna Earp is a unique contemporary western that will bring high octane, full-throttle, supernatural action to Syfy,” Chris Regina, Senior Vice-President, Programming, Syfy explained. “It is wildly imaginative and we are excited to work with Seven24 Films, IDW Entertainment and Emily on this truly original concept that will showcase fun, stylized visuals and pure escapism.”

“Together with SEVEN24 Films, IDW Entertainment, and a virtual dream cast, I’m confident we have something special on our hands: a female-led supernatural series with grand themes of redemption, honor, and the struggle to define good vs. evil. Not to mention, a kickass biker babe fighting demon outlaws,” Andras added.

The character first appeared in Image Comics in 1997 but is now part of the IDW line. The series is scheduled to premiere in April 2016.
