Wild Cards Season 3 might have been confirmed, but its fate in the US remains uncertain

Wild Cards may be positively moving into Canada, but its status in the United States is beginning to raise questions.

While CBC Television has indeed renewed the series for two more seasons, American fans still have no official word from The CW.

We're here to cover everything that's unfolding so far.

Canada bets on Wild Cards—U.S. fans left waiting

It's finally official: Wild Cards will be returning for more snooping around in Canada, as CBC has renewed the series for seasons 3 and 4! However, American fans are left questioning the renewal status in their country.

The CW, which currently airs the show in the U.S., has yet to announce whether seasons 3 and 4 will be produced. This silence from the CW is raising eyebrows among fans in the U.S.

The thrill around Wild Cards isn't just hullabaloo. The show initially started in 2024 and soon gained momentum with its extraordinary pairing of characters and a sharp sense of storytelling.

Season one even achieved a 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes—a sign that critics and fans alike are equally invested in seeing where this goes next. Yet despite this captivating performance from both seasons 1 and 2, the U.S. network currently remains vague about renewing the show.

While Canadian fans can breathe a sigh of relief, American fans will have to wait and hope that The CW doesn't cancel the show's next installments.

The chemistry that made Wild Cards worth renewing

At its core, Wild Cards flourishes on the tension —and spark— between its two main characters. The show centers around Max Mitchell, a sharp con lady portrayed by Vanessa Morgan, and Cole Ellis, a shunned yet strong-minded detective played by Giacomo Gianniotti.

Their hesitant alliance begins when Max is incarcerated, prompting him to assist Cole in solving an important case—one that returns him to his detective role and gives her a chance at redemption. Here's the official description of the show:

"Wild Cards follows the unlikely duo of a by-the-book, sardonic cop and a spirited, clever con woman. Cole Ellis (Giacomo Gianniotti) is a demoted detective who has begrudgingly spent the last year on the maritime unit, while Max Mitchell (Vanessa Morgan) has been living a transient life, elaborately scamming everyone she meets."

As the series progresses, the sparks and tension in their relationship continue to build, like building blocks, from both professional and personal angles. This is what fans eagerly anticipate developing further in the newly renewed seasons 3 and 4 by CBC.

While Wild Cards is set to make its comeback in Canada, the show's future is stuck with no real or official response. Until The CW puts out an official statement, American fans will continue to stay on edge, hoping for news that one of their favorite ships isn't leaving them behind.
