‘Wynonna Earp’ Season 3 Premiere Spoilers: Episode 1 Synopsis, Trailer And Cast

Earpers, are you ready for more gun-slinging, witty one-liners and butt-kicking women? You better be, because “Wynonna Earp” is back with its Season 3 premiere tonight (July 20).

In Season 3, episode 1, titled “Blood Red and Going Down,” Wynonna must figure out why a “bus full of sexy strangers rolls into town,” according to the episode synopsis. This task falls into her hands because, of course, these visitors seem to be anything but normal. She must learn what they want and why they’re there before “the entire town falls under their spell.”

To recap how things left off at the end of Season 2 of the Syfy series, we last saw the demon-fighting Wynonna (Melanie Scrofano) giving birth to her daughter, Alice, in Doc’s (Tim Rozon) bar. She arranged to have her baby taken out of Purgatory so she would be kept safe.

Now, as Season 3 picks up the action once again, Wynonna won't be the only face in town who seems to have an agenda. Joining the cast for Season 3 is Chantel Riley (“Frankie Drake Mysteries”) as Kate, a “bold and sophisticated, sensual and deadly” woman, according to Syfy. The network teases that she’s been on a manhunt for a long time and the search for her target leads her to Purgatory. Who exactly is on her hit list? That’s an unknown that only watching the new episodes will reveal.

Jean Marchand is also part of the 2018 cast, portraying the evil Bulshar, who Wynonna believes is the answer to breaking her family’s curse once and for all. He was the Purgatory sheriff when Wyatt Earp was alive and was the one who cast the curse in the first place. Wynonna thinks that if she defeats him, it’ll lift the curse and her daughter, Alice, won’t have to grow up to deal with the Earp curse.

“If Wynonna doesn’t end the curse, Alice will grow up and have to take on 77 demons just as her mom had to,” creator Emily Andras told TV Insider.

She continued, “There’s a sense of, ‘If we can get to this guy, maybe we can break the curse, since he’s the one who cast it.” Alas, it’ll be a process because “Bulshar is a challenge.”

In an interview with TV, eh?, Andras teased that this “third season is bat-[expletive] insane.” This is partly because of the cast’s performances, but also because of what the writers have decided to do with the storyline this time around.

“Every year from the writer perspective, you have to be like, ‘How are we gonna up the stakes, what crazy cliffhangers are we gonna have?’ But there is a confidence this year that just feels like if you love the show, I just think you’re going to be so happy from the first moment you see Wynonna to hopefully the last,” Andras said.

“Wynonna Earp” Season 3 debuts on Syfy on Friday (July 20) at 9 p.m. EDT.
