Bingeworthy 100%-rated police procedural branded “a damn good time” has new UK streaming home

BBG News

In the United Kingdom, the highly acclaimed police procedural, affectionately known as “Wild Cards,” has found its next streaming platform – a move that promises viewers an engaging experience, often described as a real pleasure to watch.

In the gaming world, I’ve been hooked on this Canadian series, developed by Michael Konyves, that puts me in the shoes of detective Cole Ellis, played by Giacomo Gianniotti, a guy who’s hit rock bottom. Alongside him is Max Mitchell, portrayed by Vanessa Morgan, a savvy con artist with years under her belt. Together, we’re on a mission to climb back up and make things right – it’s not just about survival, but redemption too.

As a passionate gamer, I’ve been eagerly waiting for the return of my favorite series, which made its debut in the US and Canada back in January 2024. Excitingly, this year, we got a second season! The best part? UK gamers like myself have finally gotten to catch up, with episodes from the first season being released weekly on Paramount+ starting last month. It’s been an amazing ride so far, and I can’t wait to see what happens next!

Following new developments, it’s officially announced that the streaming platform, working together with partner 5, now holds the broadcasting rights for both seasons of the show. This means UK audiences can look forward to catching up on the latest episodes shortly.

Jennifer Ebell, executive VP of television distribution at Fifth Season, mentioned that “Wild Cards” has been gaining a broad international following due to its captivating blue-sky procedural style and characters who keep audiences engaged. [This statement is from World Screen].

The fact that the show has been renewed multiple times shows how popular it is worldwide. I’m thrilled we can continue collaborating with our old friends at 5/Paramount+ in the UK, and I’m excited for it to become a key part of their service again for viewers.

Although we’re unsure about the release date for the second season, you can catch a fresh episode on Paramount+ every Tuesday. At present, they have made available five out of ten episodes from the first season.

For the popular TV show “Wild Cards”, things are looking optimistic as it has been renewed for both a third and fourth season by CBC Television recently (as reported by TV Line). Filming for the third season is expected to start in Vancouver this August, with a projected air date around January 2026.

The advancements are certain to bring joy to both fans and critics, with the initial season garnering a flawless 100% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes from 9 reviews. Although the second season lacks an official score, it’s important to note that all four verified reviews have been marked as positive.

The series was highly appreciated by Paste Magazine as an “enjoyable experience,” commending the “sparkling interaction” between the main duo. Similarly, Collider shared this positive feedback, stating that the acting of Gianniotti and Morgan was undeniably the most impressive aspect of the show.

Wild Cards streams on Paramount+ and 5.
