If in the Twilight series Ashley Greene's character Alice had a special power to see the future, in Wild Cards she has to secure her future through the authorities. The TV show that her character, Wendy, runs has become the target of a creepy stalker, and the entire cast is affected by her pursuit.

It just so happens that this particular vampire drama is the one that Vanessa Morgan's Max adores, so she annoys Chief Li to the point that she and Ellis are assigned to the case. Together, they must ensure the safety of the cast and find out who the mysterious stalker is. Just another Tuesday for the duo!

The CW's Wild Cards premiered in January 2024, becoming the network's first original show to launch in the new era following the rebranding. The story of a carefree con artist and a demoted cop who wants nothing more than to get his detective badge back has already captured the hearts of viewers.

Fun and easy to watch, the first season of Wild Cards has a 76% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes. However, with 5 more episodes to go, that rating could still change.

If you are in the mood for vampire nostalgia and want to see Ashley Greene back to her roots, minus the spiky wig, be sure to tune in to Wild Cards on Wednesday, February 14th on The CW.
