Based on the 2020 film of the same name, Blue Ridge follows Sheriff Justin Wise and his two deputies as they work to protect their small Appalachian town from the forces trying to rip it apart. Every case tests their grit, loyalty, and the limits of small-town peace. Longstanding feuds, disgruntled criminals, unruly travellers, and cold-blooded murderers wreak havoc – threatening the safety of the citizens Justin has promised to protect.

Season 2 explores the shifting dynamics within the community and the growing pressures that come with wearing the badge in a place where everyone knows your name – and your history.

In Blue Ridge, justice is personal and earned one fight, one mystery, and one truth at a time.

Johnathon Schaech (That Thing You Do!, Houdini) returns alongside Sarah Lancaster (Chuck, The Judge) as Elli Wise, Taegen Burns (Imaginary, The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers) as Maddie Wise, and A. Martinez (Longmire, Avatar: The Last Airbender) as Connor McGrath.

The series will also feature surprise guest stars, including Bruce Boxleitner (Babylon 5, Tron), Eric Close (Suits, Without a Trace), and Sean Patrick Flanery (The Boondock Saints, Nefarious).

Blue Ridge premieres on Universal TV on 2 April at 8 PM, with new episodes airing every Thursday until 21 May.

Universal TV is available on DStv Channel 117 across Africa.

Wild Cards is a crime-solving procedural with a comedic twist that follows the unlikely duo of a by-the-book, sardonic cop Cole Ellis (Giacomo Gianniotti), and a spirited, clever con woman, Max Mitchell (Vanessa Morgan). They are partnered together, and each uses their unique skills to solve crimes. For Ellis, that means hard-boiled, shoe-leather police work; for Max, it means accents, disguises, schemes, and generally befriending everyone in sight while driving Ellis absolutely nuts.

Season 1’s cliffhanger found Ellis about to arrest Max for her heist of a 33-million-dollar jewel, but his feelings of betrayal are sidelined by a bombshell revelation from Max; she’s learned the identity of his brother’s murderer. Season 2 raises the stakes for the duo both in terms of the cases they’re tasked to solve in each episode and their feelings for each other.

From Blink49 Studios, Front Street Pictures and Piller/Segan in association with The CW for commissioning broadcaster CBC in Canada, Wild Cards is created by Michael Konyves. Executive producers include Konyves, pilot director James Genn, Shawn Piller, Lloyd Segan, and writers Alexandra Zarowny and James Thorpe. Wild Cards is produced by Charles Cooper and Virginia Rankin. The series is overseen by Carolyn Newman, Tashi Bieler and Alix Steerman on behalf of Blink49 Studios. International distribution is handled by FIFTH SEASON.

Season 2 of Wild Cards premieres on Universal TV on 21 April at 20:00, with new episodes airing every Monday until 14 July 2025.
