'WE CAN PUSH THE ENVELOPE EVEN FARTHER': WYNONNA EARP SHOWRUNNER HOPES THE STORY WILL CONTINUE AFTER NEW TUBI SPECIAL
Wynonna Earp showrunner Emily Andras opens up about her hopes for the series' future on streaming.
Speaking to Collider, Andras was asked about the extra emphasis on sexuality and adult themes that were present in the recently released Wynonna Earp: Vengeance special, which premiered exclusively on Tubi. "Tubi was amazing," Andras said. "They were like, 'No rules. You can push the sexuality. You can definitely push the language.' The name of the game was elevation. Because we're doing a 90-minute special, we wanted to feel like you could only get it on Tubi in this format, but this isn't something you would've seen in Season 3, for example. So, I was stunned."
HBO Boss Addresses True Detective: Night Country Characters Appearing in Season 5
HBO's Chairman and CEO of HBO and Max Content discusses the future of True Detective and whether Season 5 will include any returning stars.
"I don't think there was a single thing we did that they said no to, and I even think if we are lucky enough to do more, we can push the envelope even farther if we want to," Andras continued. "They were such good partners. They really understood the combination of adult grit and humor and feeling and emotion. So, that was quite freeing. But, as fun as all that ornament is on the Christmas tree, you still have to make sure the story is solid and there's the feels and lots of emotion and romance and all that stuff."
