Max (Vanessa Morgan) and Cole (Giacomo Gianniotti) are back, but after last season’s thrilling finale, there’s some making up to do. Here's how to watch "Wild Cards" season 2 from anywhere with a VPN — and potentially for FREE.

The debut outing of the show saw Max land herself in jail after her latest con went wrong. However, a talent for deducing the next steps of some of the other denizens of Vancouver’s criminal underworld soon caught the eye of Detective Cole Ellis. Thus began a classic odd couple pairing between cop and criminal.
The season one finale left us on a tantalising cliffhanger as a betrayed Cole sought to arrest Max for her part in a multi-million dollar jewel heist. However, things took a turn when she revealed she had discovered the identity of Cole’s brother’s murderer. Season two sees the pair once again assigned to work together, but with their dynamic forever changed, the pair are going to have to navigate their trust issues if they’re to stop a new network of high-speed robbers.
As if Morgan and Gianniotti's scintillating pairing wasn’t enough, some big names are set to joining the cast this season. Martin Sheen is onboard as Jonathan Ashford, a conman who has history with Max while Ally Sheedy plays Rose, a no-nonsense ranch owner. Also look out for WWE wrestler Tony D’Angelo as criminal mastermind Jaws.
