The new CW series Wild Cards premieres tonight (January 17) at 8PM ET/PT, and it features two lead actors who fans know well from high-profile series – Vanessa Morgan of Riverdale fame and Giacomo Gianniotti from Grey’s Anatomy.
The show is described by The CW as “a crime-solving procedural with a comedic twist” and it pairs a clever con woman named Max played by Vanessa Morgan who ends up pairing with a by-the-book cop played by Giacomo Gianniotti. The unlikely pairing is a way for both of the characters to redeem themselves and learn how to trust other people.
We spoke briefly with Vanessa and Giacomo at a special event held at the historic Houdini Estate, and asked them about their respective characters, what excites them, why fans should watch, and what it is like when one of your co-stars is a cat (really!) The event was a fantastic time that included a murder mystery for attendees to solve. You can watch the interview below, and if you check the KSiteTV YouTube channel, you can also see some B-roll video of the actors on the carpet. Enjoy!
