A well-known actor from the 1990s hit Beverly Hills, 90210 has joined the upcoming CBC drama Wild Cards, as the Canadian network unveils its winter schedule.



Set in Vancouver, Wild Cards follows the unlikely duo of Ellis (Grey's Anatomy's Giacomo Gianniotti), a gruff, sardonic cop, and Max (Riverdale's Vanessa Morgan), a feisty, smart con artist. The series has already been picked up by The CW in the US for next year.

Priestley's recent projects include the film Ctrl Alt Del from Eastsiders creator Kit Williamson and Börje - The Journey of a Legend from Viaplay.

As part of its extensive winter program, CBC also unveiled the comedy One More Time about a second-hand sports store, created by and starring stand-up DJ Demers.

Elsewhere, Supinder Wraich and Enrico Colantoni star in Allegiance, a police drama about identity and belonging, policing and politics, and finding the truth at the heart of a flawed justice system, while there are third seasons for established comedies Run The Burbs and Son of a Critch.
