'Wild Cards' Fans Lose It Over Update They've Been Waiting For—But There's a Twist
Wild Cards finally gave the people the news they've been patiently waiting for.
As the show's second season comes to a close on The CW (the finale was delayed from May 1 to May 7, 2025), fans were keeping their fingers crossed that the Vanessa Morgan and Giacomo Gianniotti-led series would score additional seasons.

On Thursday, CBC Television announced that the series was getting not one but two more seasons with a renewal for Seasons 3 and 4 in Canada. But while most viewers are jumping for joy, there's also some concern as the renewal did not reveal if the series would be renewed by The CW, the network it airs on in the U.S.
The series airs in Canada first, weeks before it arrives stateside, much like Chad Michael Murray'sSullivan's Crossing.
The show's dedicated fanbase couldn't contain its excitement upon learning the news, sharing reactions on social media, which will hopefully help sway The CW's verdict.
"They are coming back to me not for one BUT FOR TWO MORE SEASONS," one fan wrote alongside a video shipping Ellimax, the fan name for Riverdale's Morgan as con-artist Max and Giannotti's detective Ellis.
"WILDCARDS GOT RENEWED FOR TWO MORE SEASONS IM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW LIFE IS GOOD AGAIN," another wrote, as a third expressed their joy, stating, "IM CRYING."
"ellimax endgame is SECURED" another cheered, as someone else celebrated, "OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD. AND TWO SEASONS."
The romantic procedural finds Max and Ellis solving crimes, as the former attempts to lessen her father George's (played by 90210 hunk Jason Priestley) prison sentence—all while the duo tries to deny and bury their feelings for each other.
