Wild Cards is the kind of show that sneaks up on you with its odd-couple charm—a straight-laced detective and a slick con artist solving crimes with a side of snappy banter. After two seasons of quirky cases and growing fan love, everyone's itching to know what's next for Wild Cards Season 3. So, let's dive into the latest on when it might hit screens, who's coming back and what the story could hold. Wild Cards Season 3 Potential Release Date
Big news first: Canada's CBC Television said 'yes' to Wild Cards for Season 3 and Season 4 back in May 2025, so we're guaranteed more adventures up north. The bummer? The CW, which brings the show to U.S. fans, hasn't locked in Season 3 yet as of July 2025. Fingers crossed they don't leave us hanging.
Looking at how things have gone, Season 2 popped up on CBC and CBC Gem on January 8, 2025, with The CW airing it in the U.S. starting February 5, 2025. Now, Season 3's filming is set to kick off in Vancouver from August 28 to December 3, 2025. If we peek at past schedules—Season 1 wrapped filming in late 2023 and dropped in January 2024—I'm betting we could see Season 3 in Canada around January or maybe February 2026. The U.S. might get it a bit later, like February or March 2026, assuming The CW plays ball. Wild Cards Season 3 Expected Cast
The magic of Wild Cards is its cast, especially the spark between the leads. Here's who we're pretty sure will return based on what we know: Vanessa Morgan as Max Mitchell, the con woman with a knack for thinking on her feet. Fans love her energy—she's like a firecracker in every scene.
Giacomo Gianniotti as Cole Ellis, the detective who's all about the rules but keeps getting pulled into Max's wild plans. His Grey's Anatomy vibes add some serious heart.
Jason Priestley as George Graham, Max's dad, who pops up now and then to stir the pot with family drama.
Terry Chen as Chief Patrick Li, the boss keeping the precinct in line.
Michael Xavier as Detective Simmons, a solid team player in the detective crew.
Amy Goodmurphy as Detective Yates, who steals scenes with her goofy charm.
Fletcher Donovan as Ricky Wilson, another familiar face adding to the mix.
Season 2 brought in some big names like Martin Sheen as a slick conman, plus Ally Sheedy, Marie Avgeropoulos, and even Kyle Richards in a fun guest spot. No word yet on whether they'll be back, but Wild Cards loves throwing in surprise guest stars, so expect some fresh faces to shake things up. Wild Cards Season 3 Potential Plot
If you're new to Wild Cards , the show follows Cole, a detective stuck on boat duty after a demotion, and Max, a con artist who lands in hot water but gets a shot at freedom by helping Cole solve crimes. Together, they tackle weird cases while chasing redemption—Cole for his career, Max to stay out of jail. It's got that buddy-cop vibe with a comedic twist, like The Mentalist meets Lucifer .
The Season 2 finale (no major spoilers here!) dropped a bombshell about the criminal mastermind behind a murder tied to Cole's past, hinting at a bigger conspiracy. It also left Max, George, and Ricky chasing a lead that could unravel some serious secrets. Season 3 will likely pick up these threads, with Cole and Max digging deeper into this mystery while juggling their usual caseload of oddball crimes—think missing butchers or creepy threats on a vampire TV show set, like we've seen before.
The show's strength is keeping things light and fun, avoiding the usual will-they-won't-they romance trap. Instead, it leans into Cole and Max's growing trust and clashing styles. Expect more standalone cases with that signature humor, plus some progress on the bigger conspiracy arc.
