Wild Cards Season 3: Release date speculation, cast and plot details – Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on July 16, 2025, 18:30 IST Last updated July 16, 2025, 11:38 IST 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. Ahmedabad Plane Crash Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .

All American Renewed for Final Season at The CW — Find Out When It Will Air
All American fans, consider this your two-minute warning: The CW has renewed its long-running football drama for an eighth — but final — season. The series' 13-episode swan song, which will '[bring] generations of Crenshaw and Beverly together for a powerful conclusion,' is on track to air in 2026, TVLine has learned. More from TVLine Harry Wild Renewed for Season 5 at Acorn TV The Chi Renewed for Season 8 Hacks Renewed for Season 5 at Max 'How do I condense into just a few words what would be the longest love letter to this show, the fans, the cast, crew, staff, and producers?' showrunner Nkechi Okoro Carroll said in a statement. 'My heart is so filled with love and gratitude for everyone who helped bring All American to life and kept it going for its historic run. 'It is so hard to say goodbye to the thing that you love, but we are so excited we get to do it in the way we envisioned with this final season,' the EP added. 'Thank you to Brad Schwartz, Channing Dungey, Brett Paul, and Greg Berlanti for supporting our vision. Thank you to the many executives at Warner Bros Discovery, CW and Berlanti Productions who have been a supportive part of the All American huddle since Day 1. Thank you to our OG and new generation cast members, our writers, crew and full staff for raising the bar every episode. Thank you to Spencer Paysinger, whose life inspired this epic journey. And thank you to everyone who not only watched the show, but took Spencer James's mantra of 'Dream Big. Stay Real' to heart and were inspired to chase their seemingly impossible dreams. We see you. We salute you. Here's to leaving it all on the field one last time.' In its seventh season, All American averaged 514,000 linear viewers (with delayed playback), down 33% from Season 6. Out of the nine dramas that The CW aired this TV season, it ranked No. 6 in audience (behind Wild Cards, Sherlock & Daughter, the cancelled Superman & Lois, Sullivan's Crossing and Good Cop/Bad Cop). That said, it stands as The CW's No. 1 primetime entertainment program with Adults 18-49 and 25-54, and as the network's top performer on The CW app, its crossplatform audience swells to be the largest among CW entertainment shows. Our 2025 Renewal/Cancellation Scorecard! View List Season 7 served as a soft reboot of sorts for the show, which had lost six series regulars — Daniel Ezra (Spencer), Samantha Logan (Olivia), Cody Christian (Asher), Karimah Westbrook (Grace), Monét Mazur (Laura) and Chelsea Tavares (Patience) — during the hiatus between Seasons 6 and 7 (though several of those cast members later returned as guest stars). Michael Evans Behling (Jordan), Greta Onieogou (Layla) and Bre-Z (Coop) were the only OG cast members to return in a series-regular capacity for Season 7, with their characters now serving as the 'responsible adults' guiding a new generation of teens at Beverly Hills High and South Crenshaw High. New cast members, meanwhile, include Osy Ikhile (Citadel) as Cassius Jeremy; Nathaniel McIntyre (David Makes Man) as Kingston 'KJ' Jeremy; Lauryn Hardy (Mann and Wife) as Tori; Terayle Hill (Step Up: High Water) as Marqui; Elijah M. Cooper (That Girl Lay Lay) as Yasi; and newcomer Sasha Lance as Breonna Strong. Additionally, Antonio J. Bell and Alexis Chikaeze — who respectively appeared in Season 6 as South Crenshaw student Khalil and Preach's daughter, Amina — were both upped to series regulars for Season 7. With today's renewal, All American will now get a chance to resolve the cliffhanger from its Season 7 finale, which cut to black before viewers could learn who won a pivotal playoff game between the Beverly High Eagles and South Crenshaw Chargers. 'The football games between Beverly and Crenshaw — they're always so personal. And this season especially, it is so much bigger than the actual game,' Okoro Carroll told TVLine of the choice to end the season on a question mark. 'It is symbolic of the unresolved nature of the Jeremy family and the Baker family and their relationship, of the unresolved nature of Khalil and Amina's relationship, of this new generation's struggle. For us, who won that game and who gets to declare themselves the victor of everything that went down over the season felt like such a powerful way to end the episode, and — fingers crossed — allow us to come back in Season 8 to pick up with the results of that game and how it affects them moving forward.'

Winds of Winter: Fans are Worried about George R.R. Martin After Recent Blog Rant
It's no mystery that author George R.R. Martin hasn't delivered Winds of Winter or Dream of Spring in time, and for now it feels like the general consensus is to just stop bothering Martin and leave him alone to his own devices until he finishes whatever he's working on. The thing is, Martin does like to update on his blog about other projects that he has going on the side, and whenever he does this, he's usually met with people who are constantly badgering him about A Song of Ice and Fire . Now thanks to a recent blog post, Martin goes on kind of a rant talking about how he won't be able to finish the books. He writes: 'I know, I know. Some of you will just be pissed off by this, as you are by everything I announce here that is not about Westeros or THE WINDS OF WINTER . You have given up on me, or on the book. I will never finish WINDS, If I do, I will never finish A DREAM OF SPRING. If I do, it won't be any good. I ought to get some other writer to pinch hit for me… I am going to die soon anyway, because I am so old. I lost all interest in A Song of Ice and Fire decades ago. I don't give a shit about writing any longer, I just sit around and spend my money.' Martin then goes on to talk about his other projects like Wild Cards and his other projects and how fans don't like them and only care about Winds of Winter. He then caps it off with: ' Thing is, I do care about them. And I care about Westeros and WINDS as well. The Starks and Lannisters and Targaryens, Tyrion and Asha, Dany and Daenerys, the dragons and the direwolves, I care about them all. More than you can ever imagine.' While it can be chalked to Martin just making a sarcastic rant about the status of Winds and how everyone has been treating him, some are actually worried that Martin may be in a bad place right now when it comes to writing. @devanthedoppler replied, 'Jesis, sounds like he's really not in a good headspace right now.' This is pretty dark. I hope George is doing ok. We love you!!!! @GRRMspeaking — GameofThrones Quotes (@ASOIAFQuotesGOT) May 28, 2025 While there are some that are sympathetic to Martin, there are of course the people that Martin has been writing about who are saying that he has no right to complain since he's taking this much time. For now, we'll just have to wait and see what happens. If anything, a lot are convinced that the ending of Game of Thrones was Martin's intended ending; the problem is just that he doesn't know how to get there organically. I'm still rooting for Martin to finish the books, but at this point, maybe he should just get someone to help him write. Whatever gets it out of the way, you know?
