So, where is 'Wynonna Earp' set?

Wynonna resides in Purgatory, a fictive small town whose eccentric inhabitants are no strangers to supernatural phenomena. It's in this town that she first learns about the horrid family curse — and where she decides to pick up the baton and continue the mission her old man took on many moons ago.

As the Season 1 premiere titled "Purgatory" reveals, it's Wynonna's job to assassinate the so-called Revenants, the ghastly creatures who've come back from the grave to take bloodied revenge on her. 

According to MountainView Today, most of the shooting took place in Calgary, Canada, and in nearby towns like Inglewood, High River, or Black Diamond.

The scenes taking place outside Shorty's Saloon — Wynonna's favorite bar on the show — were shot in front of the Ulla-la Boutique. The segment depicting the funeral of Wynonna's uncle was filmed at RiverCross Ranch.
