Wild Cards grew into one of The CW’s most popular new shows since its premiere this winter, and it’s coming back for another ride! The potential renewal has been in the cards for months, and The CW finally confirmed this hit series will be back for Season 2.
Wild Cards centers on a demoted water-cop Cole Ellis (Giacomo Gianniotti) and a fierce con woman Max Mitchell (Vanessa Morgan), whose lives change forever once they cross each other’s path. They get a chance at redemption after agreeing to join their forces and use their unique set of skills to solve a series of crimes.
Michael Konyves created this series for CBC Television before The CW picked it up. In addition to the leading duo, Wild Cards also stars Jason Priestley, Terry Chen, and Karin Konoval.
Liz Wise Lyall, head of scripted programming at The CW Network, said they’re thrilled to order the second season of this breakout series.
“Wild Cards has clearly captured the imagination of our viewers thanks to exhilarating storytelling and the crackling chemistry between Vanessa and Giacomo. We are confident Wild Cards is the kind of smart and se-y blue-sky drama that could continually build its audience for years,” said Wise Lyall in a statement.
