The tv series WILD CARDS premieres on January 10, 2024 on CBC (Canada) and on January 17, 2024 on THE CW (US). It stars Vanessa Morgan, Giacomo Gianniotti and Jason Priestley. Aaron guest stars in episode 7 (Con With The Wind). If they continue to air an episode each week then Aaron’s episode should be airing Feb 21 in Canada and on Feb 28 in the US. I’ll post a reminder as it gets closer to the air date.
WILD CARDS is a crime-solving procedural with a comedic twist that follows the unlikely duo of a by-the-book, sardonic cop and a spirited, clever con woman. Cole Ellis (GIACOMO GIANNIOTTI) is a demoted detective who has begrudgingly spent the last year on the maritime unit, while Max Mitchell (VANESSA MORGAN) has been living a transient life elaborately scamming everyone she meets. But while arrested and being held at the station, Max ends up helping Ellis solve a local crime. The two are offered the opportunity to redeem themselves – Ellis needs to get back to his detective post and Max needs to stay out of jail. The catch? They have to work together, each using their unique skills to solve crimes. For Ellis, that means hard-boiled shoe leather police work; for Max, it means accents, disguises, schemes and generally befriending everyone in sight, while driving Ellis absolutely nuts. The two will have to learn what it means to trust another person and maybe actually become partners.
