5 & Paramount+ UK Land Wild Cards

5 and Paramount+ in the U.K. have secured the rights to seasons one and two of the CBC commission Wild Cards in a deal with Fifth Season.

The crime procedural hails from Blink49 Studios, Front Street Pictures and Piller/Segan in association with The CW. It has also been licensed to The Walt Disney Company (Greece, Cyprus, Malta) and Sony Pictures Television (Latin America), among others.

Jennifer Ebell, executive VP of television distribution at Fifth Season, said: “Wild Cards has built up a growing global audience as a blue-sky procedural anchored by characters that people love to spend time with, and the repeat series order is testament to its global appeal as a title. It’s great to be working with our longstanding partners at 5/Paramount+ in the U.K. and look forward to this being another cornerstone of their offering to viewers.”
