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.
