    Earlier this year, Wynonna Earp Season 4 was put on hold due to financial issues. The show being in limbo caused fans to come together and start the social media campaign #FightForWynonna.

    The fan campaign included thousands of tweets, billboards in Times Square, and other efforts to raise awareness for the beloved shit show.

    San Diego Comic-Con marked the first gathering of the cast, crew, and fans since the announcement that the series would return.

    Emily Andras joked that celebrating Season 4 is "even sweeter the second time around."

    The cast previously celebrated a Season 4 renewal at Comic-Con in 2018.

    She continued, saying, "It was just a once in a lifetime thing to see this fandom come together with our positivity and creativity."

    As a creative person, Emily said that you "hope against hope to make something that makes people feel like this and fight for it."

    SYFY

    Emily elaborated, saying, "There's so many incredible people involved with Wynonna Earp, most of all this incredible cast and they deserve all the love you have to give. So, thank you so much everybody."

    Emily concluded, saying that the hiatus really gave her a chance to remember "what makes the show so special to people and what people love about it."

    The cast also took a moment to celebrate One Day At A Time, another important series that was saved from cancelation this year.

    Emily said, "What a year for saving amazing shows."

    So, now that Wynonna Earp has been saved, it's time to start looking ahead to Season 4.

    SYFY

    Emily joked that Season 4 will be "the Earpiest of all Earp seasons that ever Earped."

    When we last left Wynonna Earp, the Earp curse was broken, Doc and Waverly were taken into the Garden of Eden, Valdez seemingly arrived, and Wynonna now has a flaming sword.

    In terms of the curse ending, Melanie Scrofano said it will be interesting to see Wynonna without the burden of a curse.

    Melanie said, "Sometimes you define yourself by your problems. You define yourself by your curse. Now it's like, 'How do I connect with people now?'"

    She continued, saying, "I've lost the thing that made people take care of me, care about me, or ask me how I’m doing. Now I don’t have that, do they still care about me?"

    Breaking the curse, or getting rid of the fundamental storyline for the series, is exciting and something Emily thinks makes the show unique.

    SYFY

    She said, "I think one of my favorite things about the show is that it's constantly throwing new challenges at everybody and like up ending expectations."

    Melanie also joked that she "legitimately forgot" that she now has to learn how to wield a sword, so training for that is going to be hysterical.

    In terms of Valdez's arrival, comic book creator Beau Smith talked about possibly bringing this iconic character to the TV show and I am SO excited.

    Beau said, "She's a character that I created a long time ago, but it was a special character, so always kept her in the drawer."

    Beau described Valdez as a "thousand year old princess warrior from the Mayan era...In the comic books, the best way I think to describe her is Xena: Warrior Princess crossed with Spock from Star Trek."

    SYFY

    Another Season 4 milestone fans are hoping to see is a wedding between Waverly and Nicole.

    SYFY

    Katherine Barrell said that if she were to plan the wedding it would be "on The Homestead in the spring time with some beautiful wild flowers on the ground. Very intimate [and] personal with just our nearest and dearest."

    Melanie joked, "What’s the last great event that happened at The Homestead? Do you want to risk it?"

    So, there you have it! Wynonna Earp is officially coming back with Season 4 and we'll have plenty of amazing moments to freak out over soon.

    Wynonna Earp will return with Season 4 in 2020 on SYFY.
