"Wynonna Earp" Cast on Working with DIRECTOR Melanie Scrofano [VIDEO]
SYFY Fangrrls' Women's History Month celebration on SYFY is proving to be a particularly good one for fans of Wynonna Earp. With three mini-marathons taking place on three Fridays in March and a sneak preview of the fourth season during the network's 20 Women to Watch in 2020 special (more on that below), we're guessing "Earpers" are rubbing their eyes in disbelief after all the time (and hope) they spent working to bring the series back.
Now, viewers are getting a sneak preview of series star Melanie Scrofano in action – in the director's chair. That's right, Scrofano is helming an episode this season – and now the cast are talking about what it was like working with her on the other side of the camera:
Throughout the month, the multi-faceted "We Are Her(oes)" campaign will not only honor the impact women have had upon all corners of the "geek culture" landscape, but also spotlight content created for and by women across SYFY's multiple platforms. Every day during the month, viewers will be treated to female-focused original programming and podcasts, marathons and stunts, and even a few surprises.

At SYFY, we celebrate women every day, but this month we're going all out to honor those trailblazers who've influenced genre, storytelling, fandom and the creative arts in inspiring ways. We want to change the narrative around female fandom and give women a platform to celebrate their passions and join the conversation — not just this March, but all year long."
