Crime-solving is far from over for Detective Cole Ellis and the con woman Max Mitchell! The Cinemaholic can confirm that CBC has renewed the police procedural drama series ‘Wild Cards’ for its third season. The upcoming installment will begin filming in Vancouver, British Columbia, in August this year. Michael Konyves will return as showrunner, with James Genn on board as a director. The show’s second season is currently on air, making the renewal an early present for the fans.
The first season ends with two revelations: the exposure and capture of Olivier, Max’s estranged husband, and her double-crossing after she steals the Imperial Egg that she was helping Cole recover. The finale also reveals that she knows who killed the detective’s brothers and has proof of it. Thus, the finale puts our two lead characters in conflict, as Max has compromised Cole’s trust. If anything, both have to work hard toward rebuilding their trust in each other if they intend to work together to solve crimes.
From a street racing ring to a tennis legend’s murder, the cases at hand are complex and require Max and Cole’s unlikely collaboration to get to the bottom of the truth. Furthermore, Cole is looking for his brother’s killer while Max is working with her father, George, to hit a bigger jackpot, but it is under the radar. Will they be able to deal with their conflicts while searching for criminals? The second installment has the answers. Max and Cole’s charming chemistry, underscored by their unmissable mutual attraction, reaches a new height in the ongoing season as they try to cope with their issues, knowing they need each other physically and emotionally. High stakes all the way!
Considering that the second season has yet to conclude, it is too early to predict who will feature in the third installment. Still, the returnees may include Giacomo Gianniotti as Cole Ellis, Vanessa Morgan as Max Mitchell, Jason Priestley as George Graham, Terry Chen as Chief Li, and Karin Konoval as Commissioner Russo. It remains to be seen whether Martin Sheen will return as Detective Joseph Edwards.
Vancouver is reputed for its versatile backdrops and studio infrastructure, which have made it suitable for major productions. Recent high-profile projects shot in the region include FX’s ‘Shōgun,’ Syfy’s ‘Resident Alien,’ and Marvel Studios’ ‘Deadpool & Wolverine.’
