The CW's latest original series, Wild Cards, is a crime-solving procedural laced with humor, chronicling the escapades of an unconventional duo: a no-nonsense, sardonic police officer and a vibrant, quick-witted con woman.

Created by Michael Konyves (Bad Blood and Law & Order Organized Crime), the series is set to debut on Wednesday, January 17, 2024, at 8:00-9:00 pm ET/PT.

-See the Teaser Trailer Below-

Cole Ellis is a demoted detective who has begrudgingly spent the last year on the maritime unit, while Max Mitchell 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 must 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 may even become partners.
