Is ‘Wild Cards' returning for season 3? Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on May 10, 2025, 19:00 IST Last updated May 10, 2025, 15:24 IST
The police procedural Wild Cards , starring Vanessa Morgan and Giacomo Gianniotti, has captured audiences with its unique blend of crime-solving, comedic twists, and sizzling chemistry between its leads. After a gripping Season 2 finale, fans are eagerly asking: Is Wild Cards Season 3 happening? Below, we dive into everything we know so far about the show's future. Wild Cards Season 3 Renewal Status
Good news for fans: Wild Cards has been officially renewed for Season 3—and not just that, but Season 4 as well! On May 1, 2025, CBC Television, the show's original broadcaster in Canada, announced the two-season renewal, ensuring the series will continue with at least 20 more episodes (10 per season). When Could Wild Cards Season 3 Premiere?
While no official release date has been announced for Wild Cards Season 3, we can make an educated guess based on the show's production timeline. Season 1 premiered in January 2024, and Season 2 followed in early 2025, with its finale airing on May 7, 2025, in the U.S. Given this pattern, Season 3 could potentially premiere in early 2026, likely between January and March, assuming production stays on schedule. What Will Wild Cards Season 3 Be About?
Wild Cards is expected to follow the unlikely partnership of Max, a clever con woman, and Cole, a demoted detective, as they tackle high-stakes crimes in Vancouver. Season 2 ended with a dramatic finale, 'Sunrise, Sunset,' which resolved major storylines, including the arrest of crime lord Roman Locke and the exposure of a police mole. However, it also left emotional cliffhangers, particularly around the budding romance between Max and Cole (affectionately dubbed 'ElliMax' by fans).

Nathan Fillion Talks About How The DCU Creative Team Decided On Green Lantern's Hairstyle, And Explains Why He Was Always ‘Team Bowl Cut'
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. After voicing Hal Jordan in various direct-to-video animated DC movies, including those within the DC Animated Movie Universe timeline, Nathan Fillion will soon be seen bringing another Green Lantern life. The Castle actor is appearing in James Gunn's Superman as Guy Gardner, who was the second human to become a member of the Green Lantern Corps in the comics. Guy is also known for his brash personality and occasionally sporting a distinctive hairstyle. Regarding the latter, Fillion opened up about how the bowl cut was decided upon for the character's DCU depiction. Make no mistake, Fillion was very much 'Team Bowl Cut' when the upcoming DC movie was being put together. He stated this while on the DC Studios Showcase Official Podcast, saying the following about what it was like figuring out what kind of wig he'd be wearing on Superman: There was some talk about different hairstyles. There was some talk about some different types of things we were gonna go [with]. I was team bowl cut the whole way. It's canon, it's set. I said, 'If we don't do a bowl cut, we're gonna hear about it.' Although Guy Gardner has rocked other hairstyles in the comics, his bowl cut from the '80s, in particular from his time on the Justice League International, still stands out. So while it may not be the most fashionable look in the 2020s, Nathan Fillion was adamant that the bowl cut be selected, otherwise he feared that there'd be an outcry from fans. Evidently James Gunn, who also co-runs DC Studios, agreed with him, and thus another key DCU decision was made.

You can also prepay for a year and save up to 20%.View Deal However, as already stated, that's not Fillion's actual hair being seen in Superman. When Nathan Fillion was asked if he considered growing out his hair, he explained that his current gig on The Rookie prevented him from doing that: Now, here's the thing. I have another job, with a boss who's kind enough to let me out for other projects. But I think he would draw the line [at] a bowl cut police officer. Yeah, I have to agree with him on that. It would be incredibly off-putting for John Nolan to suddenly start arresting criminals with a bowl cut on The Rookie, and a blonde one at that. The wig was a better call, and we'll be seeing plenty of it. After Superman's release, Fillion will reprise Guy Gardner alongside Isabela Merced's Hawkgirl and Sean Gunn's Maxwell Lord in Peacemaker Season 2, which premieres August 21 on Max. After that, Fillion's Guy will be back for Lanterns, which is expected to arrive on HBO sometime in early 2026. Superman flies onto the 2025 movies schedule on July 11. However, you don't have to wait until then to dive into the DC Universe, as Creature Commandos Season 1 is streaming with a Max subscription.

Peacemaker Is Meeting Guy Gardner In Season 2 Of John Cena's DC Show, And Nathan Fillion Explained Why It Will Be A ‘Powder Keg' When They're Together
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. After watching the Peacemaker Season 2 trailer last week, I immediately found myself asking what's happened to Viola Davis' Amanda Waller since she's no longer in charge of A.R.G.U.S. I'd be lying, however, if I said I wasn't surprised to learn from the preview that Nathan Fillion's Guy Gardner, Isabela Merced's Hawkgirl and Sean Gunn's Maxwell Lord are appearing in this upcoming DC TV show following their debut in James Gunn's Superman. But as Fillion recently discussed, it's going to be a 'powder keg' when Guy and John Cena's Christopher Smith crossed paths. Fillion briefly discussed his second turn as Earth's bowl-cut Green Lantern while speaking with TVLine, confirming these two characters will definitely not be fans of one another when Peacemaker Season 2 starts airing on the 2025 TV schedule. As he put it: Yeah, it's clear from their relationship that the two of them do not get along. Not a fan of each other. I wouldn't call them both A-listers by any means, but I think they both consider themselves maybe in their hearts they should be A-listers. I think they have a lot to prove. I think they've got chips on their shoulders. And I think it's just a powder keg when they get together. As seen in the trailer, Peacemaker meets Guy Gardner, Hawkgirl and Maxwell Lord when he's trying out for the superhero team Lord has put together that also includes Edi Gathegi's Mister Terrific. Unfortunately for Mr. Smith, a faulty microphone results in him hearing the trio be unimpressed with his qualifications and other things not intended for his ears. Guy is seen laughing at the awkwardness the technical difficulty caused, and he's clearly not broken up about not having Peacemaker as his new teammate. Max: Plans start from $9.99 a monthDon't miss out on Peacemaker Season 2 when it premieres this summer. Sign up for a Max subscription and pay $9.99 a month for its With Ads plan, and with three tiers available. You can also prepay for a year and save up to 20%.View Deal From the way Nathan Fillion is talking, it sounds like we'll see Peacemaker and Guy Gardner together in more than just this one scene. That snippet of footage doesn't scream 'powder keg' to me, so I'm eager to see just how specifically these two brash personalities clash. Like Fillion pointed out, the irony is that Peacemaker and Guy are pretty similar to one another because they both believe they should be more highly thought of among their superhero peers. At least in Guy's case though, he's already on a superhero team, which I'm sure makes him think he's superior to Christopher Smith. Following our first encounter with Nathan Fillion's Guy Gardner in Superman starting July 11, we'll see just how he and Christopher Smith butt heads when Peacemaker Season 2 premieres August 21 on Max. Fillion will also reprise his DCU character next year in HBO's Lanterns opposite Kyle Chandler's Hal Jordan and Aaron Pierre's John Stewart.

TV's Nepo Babies: Meet the Kids of Celebrities Breaking Out on the Small Screen
Good genes aren't just a plus when it comes to skin care. They can be a big help when trying to break into Hollywood, too. For as long as there's been a Hollywood, we've seen the children of stars forge their own showbiz careers, from Liza Minnelli to Charlie Sheen. And right now on TV, nepo babies are having a moment, with the kids of famous folks popping up everywhere you look on broadcast, cable and streaming. Some, you might be able to guess — The White Lotus star Patrick Schwarzenegger is an easy call, for example — but others, you might not even know that their parents have illustrious performing careers of their own. Well, not until now. More from TVLine The White Lotus: Walton Goggins and Aimee Lou Wood Reveal a Rick and Chelsea Sex Scene Was Cut From the Finale ('It Was So Powerful') Yes, George Clooney Has Seen The Pitt - Here's What the ER Vet Had to Say About Noah Wyle's New Medical Show The Pitt Season 1 to Air on TNT Ahead of Season 2 Premiere on HBO Max We here at TVLine are rounding up all the offspring of A-list stars we've spotted on the small screen in the past few years, clueing you in on who their famous parents are. (For the record, we left off obvious names who have long-established careers of their own, like Law & Order: SVU star Mariska Hargitay, daughter of Jayne Mansfield, and Matlock's Jason Ritter, son of John Ritter.) Read on to get to know which emerging TV actors already have stars in their family tree, and hit the comments to let us know of any we might have missed. As the daughter of Oscar winners Warren Beatty and Annette Bening, Beatty is certainly familiar with high society, which came in handy while playing Truman Capote's young protégé Kerry O'Shea on FX's FEUD: Capote vs. the Swans last year. After early roles on Sugar and Pistol, Chandler is ready to break out as the star of FX's upcoming sci-fi spinoff Alien: Earth, debuting in August. And of course, TV fans know her father Kyle Chandler from his Emmy-winning role as Coach Eric Taylor on Friday Night Lights, along with roles on Bloodline and Early Edition. Collins has been charming audiences for four seasons now as the star of the Netflix rom-com Emily in Paris, while her father Phil Collins has been charming audiences for decades with chart-topping hits both with the band Genesis and as a solo artist. Med student Victoria Javadi isn't the only one with a family connection on Max's freshman medical drama. Taylor Dearden, who plays Mel, is the daughter of Breaking Bad Emmy winner Bryan Cranston. And that's not all: Fiona Dourif, who plays McKay, is the daughter of Deadwood alum Brad Dourif, and Isa Briones, who plays Santos, also has a famous dad in Broadway veteran Jon Jon Briones. The daughter of The X-Files' David Duchovny and Madam Secretary's Téa Leoni, West Duchovny broke out with a pair of TV roles in 2023, on the Netflix opioid drama Painkiller and the Hulu murder mystery Saint X. She writes jokes for comedy legend Deborah Vance on Max's Emmy-winning comedy Hacks, and she has a comedy legend in her own family tree. Einbinder's mother is Laraine Newman, an original Saturday Night Live cast member. Hall has been booking plenty of TV roles lately, from Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story to Bel-Air to The Sex Lives of College Girls. But he still has a way to go to catch up to his mom: Julia Louis-Dreyfus, of Seinfeld and Veep fame. (Hall's father is SNL alum Brad Hall.) Hawke is set to return as Robin in the final season of Netflix's Stranger Things later this year, and we already know she's carrying on a hefty Hollywood legacy. Her mom is Uma Thurman, known for Pulp Fiction and the Kill Bill films, and her dad is Ethan Hawke, from Training Day and Reality Bites. Hewson plays rebellious sister Becka in Apple TV+'s dark comedy, and if you don't recognize her last name, it's because her dad only goes by one name: Hewson's father is U2 frontman Bono. One-third of SNL's Please Don't Destroy trio, Higgins already has a family member on the NBC payroll. His dad is Steve Higgins, an SNL writer who serves as Jimmy Fallon's sidekick on The Tonight Show. In addition, Please Don't Destroy's Martin Herlihy is the son of Tim Herlihy, a former SNL writer and Adam Sandler's frequent collaborator. Jacobson plays Marian Brook on HBO's sumptuous costume drama The Gilded Age, and her mom knows a thing or two about costume dramas — and all dramas, really. Jacobson's mother is the one and only Meryl Streep, and Jacobson's sisters are also in the biz: Grace Gummer had roles on Mr. Robot and The Newsroom, and Mamie Gummer was on Emily Owens, M.D. and The Good Wife. Following roles on High School and the acclaimed film Babygirl, McGregor is set to co-star in the Prime Video teen mystery We Were Liars, debuting later this month. One of her first TV credits, though, came on the Disney+ series Obi-Wan Kenobi… led by her father, Ewan McGregor. Nivola broke out earlier this year as awkward teen Lochlan on HBO's The White Lotus, and he knows something about living in a family with high expectations. His mom is Emily Mortimer, known for her roles on The Newsroom and 30 Rock, and his dad is Alessandro Nivola, with film credits including American Hustle, Face/Off and The Brutalist. She first grabbed our attention as Joel's ill-fated daughter Sarah on the HBO zombie thriller The Last of Us, and her mother is an HBO veteran as well. Parker's mom is Thandiwe Newton, who won an Emmy in 2018 for her role as Maeve on HBO's Westworld. Plus, Parker's dad is writer/director Ol Parker, with credits like Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again and The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. Phillippe, who debuted on Netflix's Never Have I Ever, moved onto a role on Prime Video's car drama Motorheads — starring alongside his famous dad, Ryan Phillippe. Oh, and his mom is Reese Witherspoon, no big deal. That smile (and those muscles) might look familiar… and the name definitely sounds familiar, too. Yes, Schwarzenegger — who played arrogant vacationer Saxon on HBO's The White Lotus — is the son of '80s action hero Arnold Schwarzenegger, and his mom is former NBC newswoman Maria Shriver, too. When Quaid, best known for playing vigilante Hughie Campbell on Prime Video's The Boys, was just a boy himself, he had some very famous parents. He's the only child of film stars Meg Ryan and Dennis Quaid. Along with starring as Stephen DeMarco on Hulu's romantic drama Tell Me Lies, White has also appeared on shows like SEAL Team and The Middle. And his mom is still appearing on the small screen, too: White's mother is Katey Sagal, whose long TV résumé stretches from Married… With Children and Sons of Anarchy to the just-wrapped The Conners.
