tomhaldenby asked: Do you know what platforms (netflix, Amazon ect) good omens will be on when it releases? And can you to tell us how closely it's going to follow the book?
Amazon are paying for it, so I think it’s a dead certainty that it will be on Amazon.
It follows the book very closely, although it also includes things and people that Terry and I had talked about over the years as things we’d do if we made Good Omens into a film or into TV (a lot more angels, for a start), and it includes a sort of mini movie about Aziraphale and Crowley’s friendship over the last 6000 years, and I also did some stuff to the plot at the end to stop anyone who has read the book from becoming too complacent during the final episode.
@galdramani you almost certainly know about this but Good Omens movie?!
Wynonna is the hero of this awesome little show. Her mission is to break the curse on her family by killing demons (called Revenants).
Revenants killed her father and older sister when she was a kid, so she’s kind of messed-up. She’s angry, she makes bad choices, she makes a lot of enemies. She’s a complex character and I love her.
But Wynonna isn’t killing Revenants alone! Her younger sister, Waverly, is right there beside her. They’ve been estranged for years, but while Wynonna has been traveling, Waverly has been gathering info on all the Revenants they’ll need to put down.
Look, Waverly is adorable. She’s a little less messed up than Wynonna, but she’s still got her issues. And while she has a boyfriend in canon right now, she also has a flirtation with a fabulous lady cop named Nicole Haught (yes, pronounced “hot”).
The show is produced by Emily Andras, who created was a writer on (thanks to @prydonianrenegade for the correction) Lost Girl, so there’s a fair chance of a f/f pairing in canon! Plus, Diggin’ Up Bones (ep 5) gave us a m/m pairing among the Revenants, with a sympathetic and interesting backstory.
But! There are two more main characters to talk about. Next up, there’s Agent Xavier Dolls.
He’s with the US Marshals Black Badge Division. He knows about demons, and he gets to deal with the crazy Earp sisters. He has some dark stuff in his past (involving other towns that dealt with the supernatural). Oh, and he’s super hot.
(Who am I kidding; everyone in this show is hot.)
The fourth and final lead is Doc Holliday, aka Henry.
Yep, the Doc Holliday. He’s back from the dead and may not be on anyone’s side but his own. He’s mysterious and shadowy and he plays the Revenants and Earps against each other, while having plans for his own revenge.
This show was pitched to me as “gender-flipped Supernatural without the road trip,” and that’s pretty accurate so far. If you’re looking for high art, this isn’t it. But if you’re looking for a fun, cheesy, modern-day western set in Canada with two female leads and supernatural elements, then this is the show for you.
Wynonna Earp airs on SyFy (in the US) and CHCH (in Canada) every Friday. As of today (May 3) only 5 episodes have aired, so there’s plenty of time to catch up!

Why do people show dungeon masters as wizards in art and stuff? They’re clearly bards. Chaotic evil bards, often.
you think a bard can figure out the 3.5 grapple rules
A bard knows when to bend the rules of their chosen medium in service to the story. No satisfying narrative has ever resulted from trying to follow the 3.5 grapple rules.
