Canadian crime drama Wild Cards, starring Vanessa Morgan, Giacomo Gianniotti, and Jason Priestley, has been acquired by the Nine Network for broadcast in Australia. This is part of a larger wave of international sales for the show.
Here’s the Lowdown: Wild Cards, a Canadian/US co-production, has been sold to broadcasters worldwide by distributor Fifth Season. The Nine Network secured the rights for the Australian market. Other buyers include Talpa TV (Netherlands), STAR Life (Portugal), Mediaset España (Spain) and Warner TV (France, Belgium, Switzerland, Africa).
What This Means Now: Australian audiences will soon have access to Wild Cards on Channel 9. The series features familiar faces like Vanessa Morgan (Riverdale), Giacomo Gianniotti (Grey’s Anatomy), and Jason Priestley (Beverly Hills 90210). This acquisition brings another international drama to Australian screens.
The Bigger Picture: The widespread acquisition of Wild Cards highlights the growing global demand for crime procedural dramas. The show’s success in securing deals across multiple continents, now including Australia via the Nine Network, demonstrates its international appeal and the effectiveness of Fifth Season’s distribution strategy.
