Starring Margo Martindale, Chris Diamantopoulos, Guillaume Cyr with guest star Oscar and Emmy winner Jamie Lee Curtis – all six episodes of The Sticky premiere December 6 globally on Prime Video
Toronto, Canada—October 9, 2024—Today, Prime Video released first look images for The Sticky (6×30), a fast-paced, dark comedy, inspired by the true story dubbed the “Great Canadian Maple Syrup Heist.” From showrunners Ed Herro and Brian Donovan, the series follows Ruth Landry (three-time Emmy winner Margo Martindale), a tough, middle-aged maple syrup farmer who turns to crime when the bureaucratic authorities threaten to take away everything she loves. She teams up with the hot-tempered Bostonian mobster (Chris Diamantopoulos), and a mild-mannered French-Canadian security guard (Guillaume Cyr) to carry out a multi-million dollar heist on Quebec’s maple syrup surplus. Oscar and Emmy winner Jamie Lee Curtis also appears as a guest star in the series in addition to executive producing. The Sticky premieres on December 6 exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories around the world.
Inspired by a real-life heist that made international headlines in 2012, which saw more than $18 million worth of maple syrup stolen from Quebec’s national reserves. The Sticky combines moments of culture-clash hilarity, edge-of-the-seat excitement and heartbreaking drama.
