He’s chasing criminals. She’s protecting one.
Season 3 of popular Vancouver caper Wild Cards, starring Giacomo Gianniotit, as cop Cole Ellis and Vanessa Morgan as con woman Max Mitchell, premieres January 7th on CBC in Canada and January 26th on the CW in the U.S.
Season 3 picks up one month after the season 2 finale with Max (Vanessa Morgan) working as an official police consultant.
Her world is immediately upended by two arrivals:
First, Ellis (Giacomo Gianniotti) returns to the force, cleared of all charges and ready to be her partner again.
Hey, Max. You miss me? — Ellis.
Second, the woman at Max’s door [in the season 2 finale] is revealed to be her long-lost mother, Vivienne (Tamara Taylor) — who Max believed was dead.
Vivienne’s shocking return ignites the dangerous, high-stakes events of season three and further upends Max’s already complicated relationship with Ellis.
Over the course of the season, Max must navigate her complicated relationship with Vivienne while simultaneously growing closer to Ellis.
Seasons 3 and 4 are shooting back to back in Vancouver.
