Catch the action when it premieres on Universal TV on 21 April 2025
Season 2 of Wild Cards, starring Giacomo Gianniotti (Grey’s Anatomy) and Vanessa Morgan (Riverdale), returns to Universal TV on Monday 21 April 2025. New episodes of the unmissable crime-drama air every Monday at 20.00 until the season finale on 14 July.
Wild Cards is a crime-solving procedural with a comedic twist that follows the unlikely duo of a by-the-book, sardonic cop Cole Ellis (Giacomo Gianniotti), and a spirited, clever con woman Max Mitchell (Vanessa Morgan). They are partnered together, and each uses their unique skills to solve crimes. For Ellis, that means hard-boiled shoe leather police work; for Max, it means accents, disguises, schemes and generally befriending everyone in sight, while driving Ellis absolutely nuts.
Season 1’s cliffhanger found Ellis about to arrest Max for her heist of a 33-million-dollar jewel, but his feelings of betrayal are sidelined by a bombshell revelation from Max; she’s learned the identity of his brother’s murderer. Season 2 raises the stakes for the duo both in terms of the cases they’re tasked to solve in each episode and their feelings for each other.
From Blink49 Studios, Front Street Pictures and Piller/Segan in association with The CW for commissioning broadcaster CBC in Canada, Wild Cards is created by Michael Konyves. Executive producers include Konyves, pilot director James Genn, Shawn Piller, Lloyd Segan, and writers Alexandra Zarowny and James Thorpe. Wild Cards is produced by Charles Cooper and Virginia Rankin. The series is overseen by Carolyn Newman, Tashi Bieler and Alix Steerman on behalf of Blink49 Studios. International distribution is handled by FIFTH SEASON.
Season 2 of Wild Cards premieres on Universal TV on 21 April at 20:00, with new episodes airing every Monday until 14 July 2025.
Universal TV is available on DStv Channel 117 across Africa.
