WYNONNA EARP, SEASON 4
IDW Entertainment, SEVEN24 Films, Space and Syfy have announced that Wynonna Earp, the series based on the IDW comic created by Beau Smith, has been greenlit to start production for its fourth season.
With production slated to begin later this year, Season 4 is expected to debut in summer 2020 on Syfy in the United States and Space in Canada. Additionally, IDW Entertainment announced that Cineflix Studios has come aboard to co-produce, with Cineflix Rights handling international sales for all four seasons of the series.
Winner of the 2018 People's Choice Award for Favorite Sci-Fi/Fantasy Show, Wynonna Earp follows the life of the great, great granddaughter (Melanie Scrofano) of famous lawman Wyatt Earp. The action-packed supernatural sci-fi series also stars Tim Rozon, Dominique Provost-Chalkley and Katherine Barrell.
"We are absolutely thrilled that we get to make more Wynonna Earp and are grateful to our networks and partners for working hard to ensure we can,"said Emily Andras, showrunner and executive producer. "This is an enormous testament to our passionate and fierce fans, the Earpers, who remind us every day how to fight like hell for the things you love with wit, ferocity and kindness."
Said Lydia Antonini, president, IDW Entertainment: "Wynonna Earp -- the series, the comics, the characters, the story and the fans -- are all deeply important to IDW so we are thrilled to be able to continue to tell the Wynonna story. From the very beginning, the fans have embraced the series and have transformed their passion into an inclusive community built upon empathy and support, as well as whiskey and donuts. We are grateful to have partners who were able to help us bring it back for a fourth season so that we can continue to serve the dedicated Earpers, and entertain fans everywhere."
SEVEN24's Jordy Randall and Tom Cox, in addition to Cineflix's Peter Emerson and Brett Burlock, serve as executive producers along with Todd Berger and Rick Jacobs.

GIANT DAYS FINALE
BOOM! Studios has announced an October release for Giant Days: As Time Goes By #1, and oversized one-shot comic book issue concludes the series by creator John Allison and artist Max Sarin, giving readers one final adventure with Esther, Daisy, and Susan after they've graduated from Sheffield University.
Here's how BOOM! describes the book:
"Where are they now? Well, 14 months after graduation, Esther, Susan and Daisy have moved onto different careers, friends, and lives, and it's safe to say that things aren't quite the same. Their reunion in Sheffield is their chance to reconnect and rebuild the close-knit best friendships they all had while at university, but Esther's a publishing muckety muck in London now and not sure she can make time for her old friends.
"Will she be able to escape the time-sucking vortex of her vampiric co-workers, the Cressidas, and their awful influence long enough to make the reunion? Will Susan and Daisy ever forgive Esther if she doesnft show up? Is this the absolute end for our favorite Sheffielders? And what's McGraw doing all day at the local key shop?"
"This comic has always been about small moments and big catastrophes, so going out with a double-sized special gives me a chance to do plenty of both. It's impossible to please everybody when you're saying goodbye, but heaven knows, the Giant Days team are going to try," Allison said.
Giant Days: As Time Goes By #1 features a main cover and variant cover by Sarin.
"Giant Days is about the best of days with friends: joy and laughter, panic and excitement -- all the great stuff that life is made of," Sarin said. "It's been amazing working on this series that so many people have embraced and enjoyed throughout the years."
BRIEFLY
WALKING DEAD DVD: The Walking Dead: The Complete Ninth Season is coming to Blu-ray, DVD and Digital on August 9 from Lionsgate.
Here's how AMC describes the season:
"Last season brought the culmination of 'All Out War,' which pitted Rick Grimes and his group of survivors against the Saviors and their leader, Negan. With Negan's life in his hands, Rick had a character-defining choice in front of him, and he spared Negan to uphold the values his late son, Carl, championed -- values that created conflict within his group. Now, with our survivors rebuilding civilization under Rick's leadership a year and a half after the end of the war, it's a time of relative peace among the communities. However, the world they knew is rapidly changing, nature is literally taking over, and, as time passes, the communities confront unexpected obstacles and danger. But nothing can prepare them for the formidable force they're about to encounter, threatening the very idea of civilization our survivors have worked so hard to build."
Bonus features include: Deleted Scenes, "Seasons Change" Featurette, "In Memoriam" Featurette, "The Whisperers: Behind the Mask" Featurette, "Rick Farewell" Featurette, "Time Jump" Featurette, Bonus Scene: Episode 908, "Inside Episode..." Featurettes per episode; "Making of ..." Featurettes per episode.
