Sci-Fi Bulletin: Exploring the Universes of SF, Fantasy, Horror and Spy-fi!

Emily Andras’ experiences as showrunner of Wynonna Earp and interactions with the fans are standing her in good stead for her next project, Axeholes.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Axeholes “follows a mismatched bunch of comic convention attendees who inadvertently get transported into the real-life world of their favourite fantasy TV series, Blue Bar’Bara. In the worst role-playing game ever, the unequipped party must learn to navigate a dangerous land of profanity-spewing battle axes, sociopathic fairies, disturbingly sensual dragons and a chainmail-bikini-wearing shield maiden as they struggle to find a way back home.”

The new show would be a co-production between Andras’ company and Syfy. “I am excited to take on a new adventure series that is an adoring, tongue-in-cheek love letter to fandom in general, and fierce barbarian princesses in particular,” Andras said. “I am especially thrilled that it will allow me to continue working with Syfy, who have been endlessly supportive of the hilarious, moving, action-packed feminist genre shows I love to create for television.”

“Emily Andras leads with a distinct voice and tremendous vision. Syfy is committed to Emily’s brand of creative storytelling, and we are thrilled to continue our partnership with this project,” added Syfy vice president original co-productions Josh Van Houdt.
