Something that is genuinely fascinating about this modern era of popular culture, is how many stories that have come to a close, still resonate with audiences. It could because they ended too early, or it could be that there was just so much more storytelling left on the table. But one way or another… people keep craving more from franchises that had a great and sometimes brief run, and that’s why a recent announcement from Audible should come as no surprise.
​
For they let it be known that Wynonna Earp: Tales from Purgatory, will be coming to Audible as an original audio drama on October 18, one that will feature the entire original cast of the show, and was written by the show’s creator and well, that truly does speak to the staying power of Wynonna Earp, and how badly we want more of her adventures, and well… at last… we will enjoy more soon. And to properly celebrate this news, here are all the details on this upcoming show, and a teaser trailer to enjoy, as we countdown the days to more adventures, with the amazing Wynonna Earp.

‘Audible Inc., a leading producer and provider of original spoken-word entertainment and audiobooks, today announced the upcoming release of the Canadian Audible Original drama Wynonna Earp: Tales from Purgatory. The immersive, multicast audio production is written by Emily Andras, creator, producer, writer of the television series Wynonna Earp  and will feature the original cast members reprising their roles, including Melanie Scrofano as Wynonna Earp, Tim Rozon as Doc Holliday, Dominique Provost-Chalkley as Waverly Earp, Katherine Barrell as Nicole Haught, Varun Saranga as Jeremy Chetri, Dani Kind as Mercedes Gardner, Martina Ortiz Luis as Rachel Valdez, and Greg Lawson as Randy Nedley. Wynonna Earp: Tales from Purgatory is slated for release October 17, 2024, exclusively on Audible. 
 
Wynonna Earp is a modern supernatural western horror series based on the comic book created by Beau Smith. It exploded onto TV screens in 2016 in series form with SEVEN24 Films’ the female-led show Wynonna Earp and quickly developed a passionate cult following. Now, fans can experience the thrilling demon-fighting adventures in a richly immersive audio experience, with cutting-edge sound design and the original cast bringing the characters vibrantly to life.
 
"We're thrilled to bring loyal fans – “Earpers” – more of what they love by adapting this wildly popular series into an unforgettable audio experience,” said Diana Dapito, Audible’s Head of Regional Content, North America. “As we continue our commitment to delivering premium audio entertainment to Audible audiences worldwide, we’re excited for existing fans and new listeners to get to experience more action, more humor, and more of the legend that is Wynonna Earp.”
 
"I'm thrilled to be stepping into the character of Wynonna again so soon for this new Audible Original,” said Melanie Scrofano. “Fans are in for a treat because by working exclusively in audio, we're exploring sides of Wynonna and Purgatory that we couldn't always show on screen. It's like unlocking a whole new dimension of the Wynonna Earp universe. The best part is, Earpers don’t have to wait very long for even more of the characters they love, and we can't wait for them to experience it."
 
Legendary tracker Wyatt Earp's descendant, Wynonna, was tasked with putting restless revenants - outlaws that Wyatt killed - back in their graves. With a unique ability to use her ancestor's Peacemaker, Wynonna formed a motley crew to battle demons, curses, and all supernatural threats that emerge to cause chaos in the ghost town of Purgatory. In this audio installment, we pick up with our demon-hunting heroine and her soulmate, the legendary lawman Doc Holliday (VERY well-preserved thanks to some handy ancient witchery), as they hit the open road in search of the promised land: Dollywood. Naturally, the trail is bumpier than expected, giving the stranded pair time to share an anthology-style collection of stories from Purgatory. Serving as both narrators of the tales and a spicy side dish to the action, the two travelers catch us up on many fan-favorite characters from the series in these Tales from Purgatory.
 
Wynonna Earp: Tales from Purgatory is produced in collaboration with SEVEN24 Films, Rick Jacobs and Todd Berger, and Wayland Productions.

It really is quite amazing how far the true crime podcast has come over the past few years. For this type of podcast was nothing short of raw and visceral entertainment, when it first arrived on the market. Wherein well-versed hosts broke down incredible crimes with stunning facts and unsettling details regarding every type of crime imaginable. But somewhere along the line, that all changed. For suddenly it became clear these types of podcasts could be more than a guilty pleasure that explored morbid and forbidden topics. They could in fact, be supremely helpful in nature. 
​
Which was an epiphany that drove a great many new true crime podcasters… to work to make a difference with their podcast. To the point where some dug into cold cases and others revisited old cases that were teeming with concern regarding injustice and well, they have indeed made a difference. Because some of those investigations have led to people being freed when new evidence was uncovered, and they have shed fascinating light on cold cases that have lay dormant for so long. And recently a podcast, that accomplished something similar, received a re-release to offer a more comprehensive understanding of how journalist Steve Fishman made an incredible difference in The Burden: Empire on Blood.

Which is a podcast that explores the life and times of one Calvin Burai. Who was a drug kingpin in New York City in the 1990s and enjoyed the good life in doing so. To the point where Calvin flaunted his lifestyle and for a time… life was sweet for Calvin. But a murder in the city that was immediately tied to Calvin, put him behind bars in a swift manner. An act that few would think of since that seems like proper justice and gets a drug dealer off the street. But Calvin was adamant that he did not take part in this crime, and asked for help from your host, Steve Fishman, to prove that was the case, and well… his case was fascinating enough for Steve to get involved and what he finds over the course of this series… is shocking to say the least.

Since not everything is what it seems from this case and truly, there are issues that showcase sloppy police work and there is of course, a shocking twist that one would not expect and well… all of these elements bring forth a re-released story that is indeed, comprehensive, fascinating and uplifting. For truly, Steve does some good in this tale. First by listening to Calvin’s story, since so many convicts are rarely heard, regardless of what they’ve done, and then by stepping in and using his background as a journalist to meticulously explore this case and uncover truths in the process, and it is that process that makes this podcast so incredibly engaging. Since you are privy to every detail, every thought, and every step that Steve took, which adds to the inspirational portion of this story. Since it reminds us that with some care, and with some passion… we can accomplish wonders.

But where this podcast truly shines, is in its objectivity. Because let’s be honest… a lot of true crime podcasts are biased in nature and lean into the entertainment factor of podcasting as well. Which allows for dramatic elements to come into play and allows for bias through emotional response to come to life. Clouding at times what could be a very pure and educational journey. But this podcast does none of that. Steve simply presents the story as it is, and he holds to the facts and speaks to all sides of the story. Which allows for us to understand, that while Calvin has indeed dealt with some prejudice and bias from the judicial system… he’s still a criminal and that should be kept in mind and that what matters more here, are the failures from our judicial system he endured. Because in these United States it is supposed to be a fair trial for all, that fair shake, and it comes into question whether or not Calvin received that.

Which gives rise to an incredible overview of the system, and an incredible journey, period. One that truly allows for the listener to see the whole picture here and see this story as objectively as Steve did, and genuinely explores this case in a fascinating and engaging manner. Because you have to know how it ends, how all of this played out and how Steve’s investigation came to a close. Making this a must-listen podcast, one that you can enjoy right now, simply through The Burden feed, and we here at NTG certainly hope you give this a listen. For this is that rare podcast that truly understands the power of the medium and tells a refreshing and powerful story about one man’s quest for the truth, and nothing but.
