CBC Lines Up Police Procedural Saint-Pierre

The CBC original drama Saint-Pierre is slated to make its broadcast and streaming debut in Canada on January 6.

The 10×60-minute episodic police procedural series stars Allan Hawco (Republic of Doyle, Jack Ryan), Joséphine Jobert (Death in Paradise) and James Purefoy (Rome, Sex Education). It was created by Hawco, Robina Lord-Stafford and Perry Chafe, with Hawco and Lord-Stafford as showrunners.

The show is filmed in Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, France and St. John’s, Newfoundland. After the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary Inspector, Donny “Fitz” Fitzpatrick, digs 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. As if by fate, these two seasoned officers—with very different policing skills and approaches—are forced together to solve crimes.

The new series will be coming to CBC and CBC Gem on Monday, January 6, at 9 p.m.
