Season 2 of Vancouver crime caper Wild Cards, starring Vanessa Morgan and Giacomo Gianniotti, premieres January 8th on CBC — about a month before its February 5th return to the CW.
Wild Cards 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 one’s cliffhanger found Ellis about to arrest Max for her $33 million jewel heist when she showed up at his houseboat to tell him she’d discovered who murdered his brother.
How will they resume their odd partnership and resolve their feelings for each other?
