‘Saint Pierre’: Canada’s CBC Unveils Trailer & Premiere Date For Buzzy Procedural Set On Remote Atlantic Island
EXCLUSIVE: Canada’s CBC has unveiled trailer and premiere date for Saint Pierre, the procedural set on a remote Atlantic island starring and created by Allan Hawco.
Saint Pierre follows Inspector Donny “Fitz” Fitzpatrick (Hawco). After digging too deeply into a local politician’s nefarious activity, he is exiled to work in Saint-Pierre et Miquelon – the French Territory nestled in the Atlantic Ocean. Fitz’s arrival disrupts the life of Deputy Chief Geneviève “Arch“ Archambault, a Parisian transplant who is in Saint-Pierre for her own intriguing reasons and is played by Joséphine Jobert (Death in Paradise). James Purefoy (Sex Education) rounds out main cast. In addition to Jobert, Hawco and Purefoy, the series includes Benz Antoine (Four Brothers, Get Rich or Die Tryin’) as Marcus, Erika Prevost (The Boys) as Patty and Jean-Michel Le Gal (Take This Waltz, French Exit) as Renuf.
