Wild Cards Season 3: Release date speculation, cast and plot details – Everything we know so far
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.

All Free Marvel Rivals Skins and How to Get Them for July 2025
Marvel Rivals season 2.5 may have taken our heroes off-world as they battled across Arakko, but season 3 is throwing us into the furthest reaches of space to fight a new threat: Knull and his symbiote army. Stopping one symbiote is tough enough. Fighting off an army of them is going to require a whole new wardrobe's worth of battle gear. Luckily for you, there are many ways to unlock some free skins in the hit hero shooter right now -- including the Milano Repair Logs event that evens the odds with a free Storm Symbiote Storm skin. Outside of the latest event, there are still other ways to earn free skins right now. Whether you're getting used to Phoenix's dense set of abilities or you're still getting used to the ever-shifting landscape of team-up moves, season 3 has introduced a slate of free skins that you can use to deck out your favorite characters. Here's what you need to know about the Milano Repair Logs event, current Twitch drops and the Marvel Rivals season 3 battle pass. Storm commands her alien partner and the lightning with the Storm Symbiote Storm skin. NetEase Games/Screenshot by CNET Get the Storm Symbiote Storm skin during the Milano Repair Logs event The Milano Repair Logs event is a simple challenge-based event launched at the beginning of season 3. It's similar to the Cerebro Database events from season 2, but instead of playing a game of tic-tac-toe, you just have to complete every objective presented to you. There are seven repair logs to complete, with each repair log containing three separate challenges. The challenge rewards are pretty solid this time around -- there are some character-based sprays, profile pics and other filler, but you can also earn a handful of units and hundreds of Chrono Tokens that will give you an early boost in completing the season 3 battle pass. You unlock new repair logs by completing the previous ones, so there's no skipping out on challenges that don't fit your usual play style. Once you complete all seven repair logs, you automatically unlock the free Storm Symbiote Storm skin for your outfit wardrobe. The Milano Repair Logs event lasts until Aug. 8, so you'll want to unlock the Storm skin before then. If you want to complete your symbiote skin collection, there are a smattering of Venom-themed skins for other characters on the battle pass (including two skins on the free track). There are also plenty of Venom- and Phoenix-themed skins in the in-game shop if you've collected enough units to snatch up an incoming bundle or two. How can I get free skins during Marvel Rivals season 3? Players who link their Twitch account to their Marvel Rivals account can nab a free Hawkeye skin. But if you only care about rewards you can earn in-game, a Phoenix skin is available by progressing through the competitive ladder and new looks for Groot and Rocket Raccoon are available for free on the season 3 battle pass. Rocket Raccoon is looking a little ravenous with his inclusion on the season 3 battle pass. NetEase Games/Screenshot by CNET What Marvel Rivals skins are available free right now?

There are many ways to get skins in Marvel Rivals. Sometimes the developer issues special codes to unlock them while others require completing challenges. There are also some made available by watching streams on Twitch and many skins are "free" for progressing through the Marvel Rivals Battle Pass, which costs 990 Lattice, or about $10. You can also earn skins through regularly playing the game, as a free skin is frequently awarded with the completion of seasonal events. Players who reach gold rank or higher in competition also receive a free skin as a reward for their performance. Live events like season 2's Cerebro Database and the current Milano Repair Logs challenge include free skins as a completion reward. What free skins used to be available in Marvel Rivals? Twitch drops, battle passes and promo codes get cycled in and out of rotation, allowing Marvel Rivals players to earn different free skins from engaging with the game during different events.

Hit It: Best Quotes From the STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS Season 3 Premiere
It's a bad day to be the Gorn, y'all. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is back with a double-episode premiere, and folks, Season 3 is already off to a strong start. 'Hegemony, Part II' feels like a movie, deftly bringing the exciting narrative presented in the Season 2 finale to a conclusion. 'Wedding Bell Blues' isn't quite as action-heavy, leaning more into the show's inherent comedy as Rhys Darby guest stars to wreak havoc of the romance persuasion. Below, I've compiled a list of my favorite quotes from the Season 3 premiere. Energize! RELATED: Hit It: Best Quotes From Star Trek: Strange New Worlds ' 'Hegemony' Hegemony, Part II L to R: Carol Kane as Pelia and Martin Quinn as Scotty in Season 3, Episode 1 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, 'Hegemony, Part II,' streaming on Paramount+. Photo Credit: Marni Grossman/Paramount+ SCOTTY: 'This again. It's like being back in lecture hall.' PELIA: 'How would you know that? You were never there.' SCOTTY: 'I was there … in the back.' I love Pelia (Carol Kane) and Scotty's (Martin Quinn) dynamic, even what little we'd seen of it in the Season 2 finale. I also love that they're both perpetually, ever so slightly annoyed with each other — the teacher and the student. In Scotty's defense, sitting in the back of the class ensures you're out of the instructor's line of fire (or, rather, questions). Christina Chong as La'an in Season 3, Episode 1 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, 'Hegemony, Part II,' streaming on Paramount+. Photo Credit: Marni Grossman/Paramount+ LA'AN: 'I don't want to save a handful of colonists. I want to save them all. Everyone that's still alive gets home — even if we have to shoot our way out.' My girl La'an (Christina Chong) is always going through it, but she never fails to emerge triumphant like the innate badass she is. I'd have flashbacks to the most traumatic time in my life, too, if giant space iguanas thrust me back into that environment. This quote is proof positive that La'an is the best of Starfleet. She refuses to leave anyone behind. RELATED: Hit It: Best Quotes From Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' 'Subspace Rhapsody' Hope Is Key UNA: 'Chris, take some of your own advice. Focus on hope.' Una (Rebecca Romijn) and Pike (Anson Mount) have a sweet friendship. Our Number One doesn't shy away from telling Pike what he needs to hear, even if it's gentle words of wisdom like the above quote. Hope is a powerful weapon, especially when the odds seem stacked against you. M'BENGA: 'Hey. You're here now. Not back there.' M'Benga (Babs Olusanmokun) knows La'an's history, and here, he lends a helping hand in pulling her out of freeze mode. It's hard to move forward when you feel frozen in time. At face value, this quote might not seem remarkable, but as someone who must constantly remind myself that I don't have to live in survival mode anymore, it resonates profoundly. RELATED: Hit It: Best Quotes From Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' 'Those Old Scientists' Wedding Bell Blues LA'AN: 'But we all know what absence does to the heart.' SPOCK: 'The absence of a heart would be quite fatal.' As it turns out, Spock (Ethan Peck) is unfamiliar with the old proverb, 'Absence makes the heart grow fonder.' That doesn't mean he can't learn, though. If La'an can instruct Spock in the art of dance, she can teach him a human idiom or two. L to R: Melanie Scrofano as Batel and Anson Mount as Capt. Pike in Season 3, Episode 2 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, 'Wedding Bell Blues,' streaming on Paramount+. Photo Credit: Marni Grossman/Paramount+ BATEL: 'I was just wondering what you're gonna do when I move you into my quarters. Where will all your hair products go?' Wynonna Batel (Melanie Scrofano) lives. Huzzah! She spent three months convalescing in Pike's quarters. However, she's now well enough to return to work. So, who's moving in with whom? Will Batel have space for Pike's hair products? I love this cheeky wink to Pike's legendary hair. You know the saying, 'The higher the hair, the closer to the Koala.' RELATED: Hit It: Best Quotes From Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' 'Lost in Translation' OBS Language ORTEGAS: 'You realize she's our communications officer, right? She speaks like 900 languages.' BETO: 'Is Obnoxious Big Sister one of them?' Uhura (Celia Rose Gooding) deserves to have love in her life. Enter Beto (Mynor Luken), Ortegas' (Melissa Navia) younger brother. However, Ortegas isn't a fan of her bro getting up close and personal with Uhura. Uhura might not speak the language of Obnoxious Big Sister, but being fluent in 900 languages is pretty damn impressive. L to R: Celia Rose Gooding as Uhura, Mynor Luken as Beto and Melissa Navia as Erica Ortegas in Season 3, Episode 2 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, 'Wedding Bell Blues,' streaming on Paramount+. Photo Credit: Marni Grossman/Paramount+ SPOCK: 'Doctor, if one of our intellects could bestow immunity, I'm confident it would not be yours.' *Battle of the Eyebrow Arches ensues* It's Spock versus Roger Korby (Cillian O'Sullivan) after Trelane (Darby) shifts reality. Korby insists his intelligence shielded him from the illusion's effects, rubbing Spock the wrong way. Are you implying that Spock isn't smart enough to see through the veil, pal? Buddy, ole pal? *eyebrow arching intensifies* RELATED: Read our Star Trek: Strange New Worlds recaps Star Trek: Strange New Worlds drops new episodes every Thursday on Paramount+.
