The Wild Cards series has performed well in the ratings for The CW, but the show originates in Canada on CBC. So, there's no guarantee that the show will be renewed regardless of how good the U.S. ratings are or, if CBC renews it, that The CW will air it. Will we see season three of Wild Cards, or will it be cancelled instead? Stay tuned.

A procedural comedy-drama series, the Wild Cards TV show stars Vanessa Morgan, Giacomo Gianniotti, Terry Chen, Jason Priestley, Michael Xavier, Amy Goodmurphy, Fletcher Donovan, and Jonesy. Martin Sheen recurs, and guests in season two include Ally Sheedy, Marie Avgeropoulos, Tony D’Angelo, and Katie Findlay.

You guys, ElliMax is Back, and I’m in my happy place with the return of one of the most delightful escapist series currently airing.

While the incredible High Potential has been holding it down for most of the season, it’s a delight to have Wild Cards racing back into our lives and doing some heavy lifting in carrying on the new era of Blue Sky television.

Fortunately, Wild Cards Season 2 Episode 1 leaned heavily into everything we love about this series: ElliMax goodness, pop culture references, and so much conning!

“Wild Cards” emerges as a narrative fabric intertwining alternate history and superhuman mythology, where the everyday and the exceptional intersect in a delicate balance.

Originating from a respected collection, the series expands beyond its origins, blending science fiction, drama, and suspense into a cohesive exploration of power and fate.

It creates a world where standard reality transforms through supernatural elements, generating a profound sense of unease within its complex narrative structure. Season 2 explores the universe with greater depth, introducing new narrative elements that carry a more somber and reflective tone.

The evolving story probes the psychological dimensions of human potential and vulnerability, challenging viewers to consider the complex interactions between extraordinary abilities and personal struggle.

George R.R. Martin is best known as the author of the Song of Ice and Fire series, adapted by HBO as the TV show Game of Thrones. Since that show ended, he's best known as the author who still hasn't completed The Winds of Winter, the sixth book in his Song of Ice and Fire series. Fans have fun with the long wait, throwing up their hands whenever Martin works on anything other than The Winds of Winter. And he recently worked on something way out of left field.

Along with I. L. Tregillis, Martin cowrote a paper published in the American Journal of Physics entitled "Ergodic Lagrangian dynamics in a superhero universe." You can read the whole thing here, if you're able to understand all the math and technical language.

Maternal Mystery

Disney+ has dropped first-look images for its upcoming U.K. original series “The Stolen Girl,” a psychological thriller toplining Denise Gough, Holliday Grainger, Ambika Mod and Jim Sturgess.

The five-part limited series, previously developed under the working title “Playdate,” comes from scribe Catherine Moulton (“Baptiste”) and helmer Eva Husson (“Mothering Sunday”). The project adapts Alex Dahl’s bestselling page-turner “Playdate.”

The story follows Elisa, a mother whose world implodes after her nine-year-old daughter Lucia vanishes during what was meant to be an innocent sleepover. The seemingly perfect host mother Rebecca, along with her daughter Josie, disappear without a trace – leaving behind only a vacant holiday rental where their supposed family home once stood.

As authorities launch a Europe-wide search, scrutiny falls heavily on Elisa and her husband Fred while family secrets bubble to the surface. Narrative promises to explore whether Rebecca’s shocking actions could have deeper justification than initially apparent.

Wild Cards is a police procedural on The CW starring Riverdale's Vanessa Morgan and Deceitful Love's Giacomo Gianniotti. The duo stars as a con woman and police officer who must work together to solve weekly cases and earn a shot at redemption.

We’ve got our first look at Wild Cards Season 2, as the trailer hints at the great action to come!

For those who missed it in 2024, Wild Cards is a Canadian TV show originally airing on the CBC network. The CW acquired it to air, aided by how star Vanessa Morgan had starred in the network’s long-running hit Riverdale.

The plot is a classic one for a caper show. Max Mitchell (Morgan) is a con artist, albeit one with a moral code. She’s busted by the cops and arrested by Cole Ellis (Giacomo Gianniotti), a former top homicide detective, until he was busted down to boat patrol after being framed for having drugs.

Max manages to cut a deal with the cops and uses her skills to help catch other crooks, with the condition that Cole is her handler. Season 1 had the pair working together, aided by Max’s father,...

The procedural drama Wild Cards on the CW was green-lit for a second season in May, but like so many CW shows before, it floated in the bubble about whether the network would be canceled. For fans of this intriguing Canadian-us show, it was a relief.

Season 2 of Wild Cards is currently in production and will premiere on Thursday, Feb. 6 in the US. Not only will we have more crime-fighting stories led by Max and her partner, Ellis, who is portrayed by Vanessa Morgan of Riverdale and Giacomo Gianniotti of Reign, respectively. A handful of guest stars will also join the roster.

It's big news, considering we didn't have much coverage between the renewal and the guest star update. The CW has a history of keeping mum on show spoilers, even when updates are considered spoilers. Wild Cards has followed the same pattern, so we'll take what we can get regarding its content.

Things are heating up between Detective Cole Ellis (Giacomo Gianniotti) and Max Mitchell (Vanessa Morgan) — but is it all a con?

The CW released the official trailer for Wild Cards Season 2 Monday (watch it above), which is set to premiere on Wednesday, Feb. 5 at 8/7c. Ellis is back on the police force after Max got away with an elaborate con worth millions during the season finale. This time, he isn’t so trusting of Max when she returns with a shocking revelation.

British Columbia has given Hollywood producers an early Christmas present by boosting the foreign film tax credit for major studios and streamers that shoot locally.

The latest provincial budget has raised the production services tax credit for foreign projects shot locally from 28 percent to 36 percent from Jan. 1, 2025. And tentpole projects with local expenditures exceeding $200 million will receive an additional two percent bonus.

The film tax credit boost follows B.C., which depends heavily on Hollywood film and TV production produced locally, feeling the impact of industry shutdowns during the pandemic and last year’s dual Los Angeles strikes. “Our province is home to one of the busiest film and TV production centers in North America,” B.C. premier David Eby said in a statement as Los Angeles productions increasingly opt to shoot outside of California in rival locales, including Canada.

“All American” is leading the charge when it comes to The CW’s midseason premieres this winter. The football drama will be joined by new series such as “Good Cop/Bad Cop” and returning staples like “Penn & Teller: Fool Us.”

On the scripted side of things, Season 7 of “All American” will return with a special sneak peek on Jan.

The CW is the fifth and final broadcast network (following NBC, Fox, ABC and CBS) to unveil its midseason game plan, and it features a January return date for All American (which only finaled in mid-July).

The netlet’s midseason slate also includes a Season 2 premiere for Wild Cards and the debut of Good Cop/Bad Cop, in which Leighton Meester (Gossip Girl) and Luke Cook (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina) play sibling detectives who don’t always see eye-to-eye as they work together to solve crimes; Clancy Brown (of all good things) plays the pair’s pop.

George R.R. Martin is discussing a secret project with Maisie Williams, but could it be a Game of Thrones sequel? Williams was part of Game of Thrones' cast through all eight seasons as Arya Stark, bringing to life one of the books' best characters and turning her into one of the show's greatest players too. Arya is also a character relatively unscathed by the show's divisive ending, which could play into her favor when it comes to a possible spinoff.

So far, the only firm idea for continuing on from Game of Thrones' ending was a sequel show about Jon Snow, starring Kit Harington. However, after a couple of years in development, Harington confirmed in 2024 that the Jon Snow spinoff was shelved, as they couldn't crack the story. There is also a Game of Thrones movie in development, but no word on whether that will be a continuation, or, like all other spinoffs so far,...

Jason Priestley has been a television icon since the '90s, which has resulted in a sizable net worth. The Canadian actor is of course best known for playing the morally upright Brandon Walsh in the hit teen drama Beverly Hills, 90210, but Priestley successfully transitioned from a teen idol to a multifaceted entertainer.
