Plot Synopsis

Created by Michael Konyves, WILD CARDS is a one-hour crime dramedy series that follows the unlikely duo of a by-the-book, sardonic cop and a spirited, clever con woman. 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 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 made its U.S. debut on Wednesday, January 17, 2024 at 8pm ET/PT on The CW.
