The biggest surprise of Wynonna Earp‘s seson finale last last year was a tease that Waverly Earp, Wynonna’s sister and the most objectively good person in the show, was being set up as a potential threat for season 2.

The story played itself out through the first half of season 2, and while it’s over now, actress Dominique Provost-Chalkley enjoyed getting to explore a darker version of the character she loves.
“I loved it. I loved it a little bit too much, I think,” Provost-Chalkley told ComicBook.com during a conversation at Comic Con International last week in San Diego. “The only thing I was worried about is that I was going to love it too much, I think, and do a caricature like ‘muahaha, I’m being evil!’ because it was so much fun.”
Of course, those moustache-twirling temptations were likely offset at least a little by the fact that Provost-Chalkley’s character was possessed by a demon that spent most of its time giggling through its evil deeds — so that the serious side of the story actually came out more often when the spirit was possessing others and Waverly had to fight it.
Based on the IDW Publishing comic book created by Beau Smith, WYNONNA EARP follows the life of famous lawman Wyatt Earp’s demon-fighting great-great-granddaughter Wynonna (Melanie Scrofano), who inherited Wyatt’s mythic abilities and his famous gun. As a special agent in the Black Badge Division (a top secret sector of the U.S. Marshals) and with the help of her younger sister, Waverly (Dominique Provost-Chalkley), boss, Agent Xavier Dolls (Shamier Anderson), notorious gunslinger Doc Holliday (Tim Rozon) and officer Nicole Haught (Katherine Barrell), Wynonna is determined to put an end to the Earp curse once and for all. WYNONNA EARP is produced in Calgary by SEVEN24 Films and distributed by IDW Entertainment. Emily Andras developed the series for television and continues to serve as showrunner and executive producer. Jordy Randall, Tom Cox, Ted Adams, David Ozer, Rick Jacobs and Todd Berger also serve as executive producers.
