* SupernaturalHotspotTown: The show takes place in Purgatory within the Ghost River Triangle, somewhere in western Canada, just north of the US Border. The town is plagued by revenants that are linked to a curse put on noted lawman Wyatt Earp's family line, of which the titular Wynonna is the latest inheritor; all seventy-seven of them must be felled by Wynonna in order for the curse to be broken. The Revenants can't leave the Ghost River Triangle without basically bursting into flames. Other supernatural entities pop up as the series goes on, ranging from a pair of demonic sisters to [[spoiler:Bulshar, the demon who cursed Wyatt in the first place]].

** Wyatt is said to have killed 77 criminals over the course of his law career in the show. That is almost 13 times the number of men the real Wyatt actually killed,[[note]]He killed six men for the record. In order, George Hoyt in Dodge City, Frank McLaury in the OK Corral Gunfight, and Frank Stilwell, Florentino Cruz aka Indian Charlie, "Curly" Bill Brocius, & Johnny Barnes during the Earp Vendetta Ride.[[/note]] As well, one of the revenants is said to be [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Miller_(outlaw) Jim "Killer" Miller]], a man Wyatt never met, who was killed by lynching. Miller's kill count, reputed to be 12, is estimated as the highest of any in their generation, showing just how off this was. While it is slightly downplayed as the show goes on and it becomes clear the curse isn't particularly picky about who it effects, [[note]]Innocents caught in the crossfire (Rosita), people killed by outside sources due to Wyatt's actions (August Hamilton), and people who sacrificed themselves to help him (Bobo) are all included.[[/note]] he still racked up a considerably bigger body count than real life.

The show was renewed for a second season during 2016's San Diego Comic-Con, which aired in 2017. A third season was announced at 2017's SDCC, and it started airing in July of 2018. A fourth (and final) season was announced at 2018's SDCC and was originally set to air in 2019; however, financial problems delayed production, causing it to be rescheduled to air in 2020, only to be delayed again due to the [[UsefulNotes/CoronavirusDisease2019Pandemic COVID-19 pandemic]]. Ultimately, it was announced that the first half of Season 4 (which had finished production prior to the pandemic) would air in July of 2020, with the second half intended to air at a later date, eventually announced to be March 5, 2021.
