"Wynonna Earp": Melanie Scrofano Will Do Anything for Love (of the Show) – But She Won't Do THAT

So Wynonna Earp star/director Melanie Scrofano is now one of our favorite people of all time – and all it took was a blunt, direct, and well-timed tweet. Yesterday, we highlighted a video clip that was posted as part of SYFY's Women's History Month celebration. In it, the cast opened up about the experience of working with first-time series director Scrofano – and to say they were complimentary would be an understatement (check it out here).

In fact, the cast's reaction was so positive that one fan asked, "What can't she do?" – to which, the show's official Twitter account responded with, "We're willing to bet the answer is literally nothing."

What followed was a "challenge accepted" by Scrofano: another example of how open and honest she likes to be with the Wynonna Earp fanbase – and probably one of the best ways to "mic-drop" a conversation cold (and make us laugh in the process):

Throughout the month, the multi-faceted "We Are Her(oes)" campaign will not only honor the impact women have had upon all corners of the "geek culture" landscape, but also spotlight content created for and by women across SYFY's multiple platforms. From Wynonna Earp marathons and season 4 preview to the series premiere of Vagrant Queen, here's a look at what SYFY has in store for marathons, original programming, and podcasts:
