Vanessa‘s new show is called Wild Cards, and is described as a crime-solving procedural with a comedic twist, which also stars Giacomo Gianniotti. If you recall, Giacomo will also be returning to The CW after previously having a recurring role on Reign!
Here’s a Wild Cards synopsis: Ellis (Giannioti) is a gruff, sardonic cop demoted from his role as a detective fown to the maritime unit, while Max (Morgan) is a spirited, clever con woman living a transient life and scamming everyone she meets. When Max gets arrested and ends up helping Ellis solve a local crime, the two are offered the opportunity to redeem themselves, with Ellis going back to detective and Max staying out of jail if they can learn to trust each other and work together.
Michael Konyves serves as series creator and executive producer, along with Shawn Piller as executive producer, Noelle Carbone as the head writer/executive producer and James Genn directs the pilot and executive produces.
Wild Cards will actually be debuting first on CBC in Canada this coming winter, and it is set to premiere on The CW in Fall 2024!
