MEDIA RELEASE: Cineflix Rights sells Wynonna Earp: Vengeance to Sky UK
Cineflix Rights and Sky UK have signed a deal for new scripted television special Wynonna Earp: Vengeance, the latest instalment of the cult fan-favourite which follows Wyatt Earp’s great-great granddaughter as she battles demons and other supernatural beings. The deal with Sky, which is already home to the four previous seasons of Wynonna Earp, was announced prior to the special’s launch on Tubi in the US+ territories, LATAM, Canada and Australia on 13th September.
Wynonna Earp: Vengeance (1×90’, SEVEN24 Films in association with Cineflix Studios for Tubi) features original cast members, Melanie Scrofano (Wynonna Earp), Tim Rozon (Doc Holliday), Dom Provost-Chalkley (Waverly Earp), and Katherine Barrell (Nicole Haught). Creator Emily Andras developed the series and returns to the special as Showrunner.
The special sees Wynonna Earp – spicy, hard-living, demon slaying anti-heroine – and great-great granddaughter of legendary lawman Wyatt Earp return, once again, to her hometown of Purgatory to battle her greatest foe yet: a psychotic seductress hellbent on revenge against Wynonna… and everyone she loves.
