CBC Hands WILD CARDS Two Season Renewal

CBC are stepping up their commitment to scripted content with a number of renewals including a Wild Cards two season renewal they just announced.

Ellis, a demoted detective, has unfortunately spent the last year on Vancouver’s marine unit (i.e., he’s now a “water cop”), while Toni has been living a transient life, elaborately scamming everyone she meets.

But when Toni gets arrested and ends up helping Ellis solve a local crime, the two are offered the opportunity to redeem themselves, with Ellis going back to detective and Toni staying out of jail. The catch? They have to work together, with each using their unique skills to solve crimes.

For Ellis, that means hard-boiled shoe leather police work; for Toni, it means accents, schemes, and generally befriending everyone in sight (while driving Ellis absolutely nuts).

Against the backdrop of beautiful Vancouver — with all its unique, charming, and even contradictory neighborhoods and subcultures — the two will have to learn what it means to trust another person and maybe actually become partners.

Guest stars for Season 2 include Marie Avgeropoulos (The 100) and Martin Sheen (The West Wing). Filming for the new season took place in Vancouver and ran from 03 September 2024 through to 17 December 2024.

The Wild Cards two season renewal is interesting to note as the CW have yet to make any announcements about the show’s renewal.
