Or had you heard little rumblings here and there?

DOM PROVOST-CHALKLEY: On the grapevine?

So definitely it felt like a marking point.

So it feels amazing to be able to unpack a little bit and continue.

Was it reading the script?

Was it putting the costume on?

Based on a comic book series by Beau Smith, Wynonna Earp tells the story of the titular heroine who is the great-great-granddaughter of Wyatt Earp. The series follows Wynonna’s return to her hometown, where she must do battle with the reanimated criminals previously killed by Earp. Aided by her sister, her great-great-grandfather’s immortal partner Doc Holiday, and a member of the US Marshals, Wynonna works to keep Purgatory safe from the revenants.

Was it being back on set for filming?

When did it really hit you that this wasofficiallyhappening?

It’s been so long."

How about you, Kat?

I walked into the hotel room, and she had all my hats lined up.

For me, it’s such a Nicole thing that that was a real moment.

It’s little things like this, where you’re easing through the portal, almost.

BARRELL: Oh gosh.

It’s such a ritual.It’s become such a ritual.

There is a clear entrance into the world, and so many little things make that.

The progression of becoming Haught again, slowly but surely.

BARRELL: You know what’s really interesting?

So the hair dye was actually… we had already started shooting, which is crazy.

By every measure, this was a pretty perfect finale.

Whose idea was it to have Waverly really big into crafting?

Wynonna Earp looking to the distance.

That just felt really clear.

I think that was how the character was written.

But I can speak to my own personal journey with my gender nonconformity and my evolution into my queerness.

We had that conversation.

“Do you think that Waverly has also gone through this journey?

Do you think that she’s non-binary?

Wynonna Earp

“What a blessing to be able to have those kinds of conversations on set.

I think she’s still very much a badass, powerful woman and is really embracing her queerness.

Kat, this special has a lot of big physical moments for Nicole.

How many of those stunts did you take a stab at do yourself?

BARRELL: I had an amazing photo double who was there every single day, bless her.

I felt so cared for.

I felt very taken care of.

Everyone, from putting sound blankets over my belly so the baby didn’t hear gunshots.

This industry can be really bad sometimes, for losing the human.

PROVOST-CHALKLEY: 100%.

I think it’s both.

I don’t think Wynonna would’ve agreed to be Haught’s deputy before now.

It feels like this is sort of a natural progression of their friendship.

What are your thoughts on a potential buddy-cop sequel?

BARRELL: Seeing elements of Wynonna and Haught trying to work together is always fun.

Those two characters just have that Thelma and Louise, good cop/bad cop dynamic.

It’s a timeless, perfect comedy kind of duo.

I think it would be definitely a storyline that would be super entertaining.

Things end with your characters deciding to do it long-distance for a little while.

Did you two ever have any conversations about how they’re doing after this?

PROVOST-CHALKLEY: Beautiful question.

What do you think, Kat?

BARRELL: We never really talked about it.

Maybe that’s for the next special.

That’ll be our discussion of what they did long-distance.

She knows how much Waverly needs it and that …

I feel like Nicole would sort of follow Waverly’s lead and be like, “I’m here.

PROVOST-CHALKLEY:Waverly would definitely have those moments where she would be calling a lot.

BARRELL: Knowing Jeremy’s there definitely helps.

Maybe a little bit.
