"Wynonna Earp": Emily Andras Signals Season 4 Table Read Taking Place #EarpNow [VIDEO]

Fans of SYFY's Wynonna Earp thought they would be holster-deep in rumors and speculation about the fan-favorite series' fourth season at this point (having processed early on that they weren't getting a new season in 2019). Well, they definitely have – but for all the wrong reasons. Though the fourth season pick-up was announced in July 2018, news on production was alarmingly silent. Then in late February 2019, series star Melanie Scrofano tweeted the following in response to a fan:

Since that time, rumors began to circulate that the delay was due to financial difficulties on IDW Entertainment's end, though a representative from IDW reached out to Bleeding Cool to restate their commitment to continuing the series.

But now it looks like IDW Entertainment has their financial matters a bit more stable, which means production is back on for Wynonna Earp. If you need proof, look no further than series executive producer and showrunner Emily Andras – who tweeted out the front page to the script for the season's first episode back in October 2019 (more on that below).

Flash ahead to January 2020, with work on the season chugging along and the fans still scratching heads over when the series will announce a return date and release a teaser. Nothing like the Televsision Critics Association's (TCA) winter press event to get things rolling with a ten-ton tease of some major news coming Earpers' way #EarpSoon – but what?

Well, we found out that that meant on Monday, because that's when Andras tweeted out a video signaling the first table read through for the fourth season – followed by a look at some very familiar faces (and blurred out name plates???) taking part:

Now while seeing the script was definitely good news for "Earpers", there was just one small complaint: clearly, the pens were placed by mistake because we can't seem to e able to read the episode title and who wrote the script…

Must've been a mistake, so we'll just wait here for the update…

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.
