DIDSBURY - Road closures are in effect in Didsbury Tuesday as scenes for an upcoming 90-minute Wynonna Earp special are being filmed.
Production trucks planned to move into town on the evening of Monday, March 11 and park in the gravel lot at the Didsbury Memorial Complex.
On Tuesday March 12, from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m., 20th Street from 18th Avenue to 20th Avenue is closed. Traffic will be detoured around that site.
The public will be able to access the Didsbury Train Station parking lot from 19th Avenue.
There will also be filming in and around the Didsbury cemetery in the morning hours on Tuesday.
While the Syfy TV series ended in 2021 after four seasons, streaming service Tubi announced last month it was making a 90-minute special to air later in the year.
Now in production, Wynonna Earp: Vengeance is billed as a brand-new Earp story with all the series' favourite characters.
In the series, Wynonna Earp is the great-great-granddaughter of legendary lawman Wyatt Earp who battles reincarnated outlaws that Wyatt killed.
"We are excited to be welcoming the production team to Didsbury,” said The Town of Didsbury's chief administrative officer, Ethan Gorner.
It's not the first time that Didsbury has stood in for Wynonna Earp's fictional town of Purgatory.
Scenes for numerous episodes of the television series have been filmed in Didsbury starting with its first year in production in 2016.
