Universal TV (DStv Channel 117/GOtv Channel 38) has announced the premiere of Wild Cards, a captivating comedy-drama series.
Kicking off with a double-episode treat on Tuesday, September 3, 2024, this ten-part series promises to keep viewers hooked every Tuesday night with a fresh episode, running until 29 October 2024.
Wild Cards is a crime-solving procedural with a comedic twist that follows the unlikely duo of a by-the-book, sardonic cop, and a spirited, clever con woman.
Cole Ellis (Giacomo Gianniotti, Grey’s Anatomy) is a demoted detective who has begrudgingly spent the last year on the maritime unit, while Max Mitchell (Vanessa Morgan, Riverdale) has been living a transient life elaborately scamming everyone she meets. But while arrested and being held at the station, Max ends up helping Ellis solve a local crime.
The two are offered the opportunity to redeem themselves – Ellis needs to get back to his detective post and Max needs to stay out of jail.
The catch? They have to work together, each using their unique skills to solve crimes.
For Ellis, that means hard-boiled shoe leather police work; for Max, it means accents, disguises, schemes and generally befriending everyone in sight, while driving Ellis absolutely nuts. The two will have to learn what it means to trust another person and maybe actually become partners.
Wild Cards is created by Michael Konyves, executive producers include Konyves, pilot director James Genn, Shawn Piller, Lloyd Segan, and writers Alexandra Zarowny, James Thorpe, Noelle Carbone and Morwyn Brebner.
Wild Cards is produced by Charles Cooper and Virginia Rankin. The series is overseen by Carolyn Newman, Tashi Bieler and Alix Steerman on behalf of Blink49 Studios. International distribution outside of North America is handled by FIFTH SEASON.
Catch the Wild Cards premiere on Universal TV (DStv Channel 117) on Tuesday, 3 September at 20:00 CAT, with new episodes airing every Tuesday until 29 October.
