Season 3 of “Wild Cards” won’t just see the pair battle criminals but also personal turmoil, especially for Max, who must deal with the return of her long-lost mother she believed was dead. Her sudden reappearance was the very reason we didn’t get that perfect happy ending in Season 2, when Max was moments away from sailing off with Ellis.
Unlike the previous two seasons, where Max worked as an unofficial consultant, she’s now officially part of the team. Ellis, meanwhile, is back from his sailing trip and has had his suspension lifted.
But things have changed – Ellis has a new girlfriend, meaning Max has been firmly friend-zoned. And that’s not even her biggest problem. Max learns her mother faked her death to protect Max and her father, George, from a crime lord who has now tracked them down and wants his $150 million back.
“With my mom coming back to town, there's obviously going to be a long con, a big heist, a lot of drama, and a new bad guy who comes into town,” Morgan teased in an interview about Season 3. Read on to find out how to watch "Wild Cards" Season 3 online and from anywhere.
