Why did you feel it was important to go there during one of the final hours? TVLINE | I don’t think anyone would have ever felt like a “Dark Angel Waverly” detour was missing, if you hadn’t spent time on it the episode prior. It’s a bit of an Easter egg for those hardcore WayHaughters! It seemed like a waste to not have someone with such an exceptional voice perform! And what better song to lay over the necessary wedding montage than a WayHaught classic (Fleurie’s “Wildwood”), the song that was playing the first time WayHaught kissed. She is the anthem singer for the Toronto Maple Leafs - so she’s quite a star here! - and she was on Pilipinas Got Talent back in the day…. The thing about Martina is that she is a phenomenal singer. TVLINE | If anything caught me a bit off-guard, it was us getting a song from Rachel (played by Martina Ortiz-Luis). I still have that spinoff if you want to help me sell that! She’s out being an amazing vampire, yeah. She’s just out, like, being her best vampire self. TVLINE | But Mercedes (Dani Kind), to be clear, is still with us. Whenever I see that Dolls chair, I just can’t help but feel things. I had sort of joked about, “Wouldn’t it be cool if you had the ghosts of characters past?” In the moment, they said, “What if we hung names on the chairs?” and it was just one of those goosebump moments, like, “That’s brilliant.” So then we have people writing up these cards, rushing them out, and it’s honestly one of my favorite things. So my incredible director, Paolo Barzman, who also did the pilot, and my art director Trevor Smith, pitched this idea to me. But then we put out chairs so you could understand where the aisle was, and they looked really empty. We were on-set, it was very much in the middle of the pandemic, and we knew we were going to have a limited number of people for the wedding. TVLINE | Talk about the decision to have empty guest chairs laid out with the names of those who are no longer with us or didn’t make it to the wedding. It was all about finding everyone a moment of potential joy, after they’ve gone through so much after four seasons. Even Jeremy (Varun Saranga) becoming deputy chief of Black Badge and maybe finding a new date…. More than anything, it was about giving every character a moment of happiness. And now you have Waverly secure enough in how their relationship has evolved, that she knows Wynonna deserves to leave again - because she’ll come back. I really love the parallel with the pilot, where Wynonna came into town against her will and was so hungry to leave but was forced to stay. I think it’s important to pay due respect to how far Waverly and Doc have come she never gave up on him, she always saw a better man in him - and now he gets to be the best man! Nedley (Greg Lawson) and Nicole’s (Kat Barrell) relationship, that paternal/daughter bond is so special, so honoring that was very important.Īnd at the end of the day, I still think the real love affair of the show is the Earp sisters, so I ended to make sure that that was honored. It has to honor to all of the characters - and by that, I mean it has to try to find a moment for every special pairing on the show, not just WayHaught. TVLINE | When throwing a season-ending wedding, what is Emily Andras’ marching order? “Above all else, this wedding has to be…”? I’m sure there will be lots of crazy sex and crazy arguments and crazy laughter. I feel like having the world ahead of them and being such an unusual couple, I would love to see what happens next for them. That’s so lovely, thank you for saying that. TVLINE | I’m watching that final sequence and it almost feels alien, seeing the two of them head off into what I think of as “the real world.” But I also found that viscerally exciting, to see so much ahead for them. I never knew that I would be allowed to end such a romantic pairing with the woman driving the motorcycle and the guy on the back.

But those two characters have certainly earned the chance to try to be happy, whatever that means to them. TVLINE | At what point over the years did you ever envision Wynonna and Doc riding off into the sunset?Īhhh! I almost never even let myself envision it, you know? It’s so funny - when you start doing a show, you have all sorts of ideas about what pairings are going to rise to the top, who’s going to end up with whom, and one of the joys of Earp is that so many different things have happened.

I feel like joy has to be paired with nostalgia, so I hope they’re feeling all the things. Just head-to-toe body warmth, and love, and affection, and wistfulness…. What emotions do you hope the fans are feeling at this moment?
