Season 3 (10x60) premieres Winter 2026 on CBC and CBC Gem. WILD CARDS is a blue sky procedural with a comedic twist that follows the unlikely duo of Max (Vanessa Morgan), a spirited, clever con woman, and Ellis (Giacomo Gianniotti), a by-the-book, sardonic cop. Despite their differences, the pair is assigned to work together, making a surprisingly effective team solving cases that had stumped the police department. Using Max’s sharp instincts and people skills (not to mention creative disguises) and Ellis’ experienced and intelligent detective work, their success earns him his job back to detective and she avoids jail time as part of the deal. While their relationship is not without conflict, they are finally starting to trust each other...and maybe even feel something more. The series also stars Jason Priestley as Max's dad George.
Season two ended with an unexpected twist - Ellis is forced to resign from the police force, and just as we think he is going to sail into the sunset with Max, her mother - whom we thought to be dead, appears at her door.
