Prime Video Unveils Trailer for The Sticky, Blumhouse Television’s New Comedy Series Inspired by Real-Life Maple Syrup Heist
Prime Video has released the official trailer for The Sticky, a new dark comedy from Blumhouse Television set to launch on 6 December 2024.
This six-episode series, inspired by a notorious 2012 heist in which more than $18 million worth of maple syrup was stolen from Quebec’s national reserves, will be available to stream in over 240 countries.
From creators and showrunners Brian Donovan and Ed Herro, The Sticky promises an offbeat blend of suspense, cultural mishaps, and intense personal drama. Led by three-time Emmy Award winner Margo Martindale, the story follows Ruth Landry, a resilient, middle-aged maple syrup farmer on the verge of losing her livelihood.
Pushed to extremes, Ruth aligns herself with a brash Boston mobster (played by Chris Diamantopoulos) and a gentle-natured, unsuspecting security guard from Quebec (portrayed by Guillaume Cyr) to execute a multi-million-dollar maple syrup heist.
The newly released trailer reveals the characters’ ambitions as they navigate the humour and danger of the heist while fleeing the authorities in their chase for “liquid gold.” A highlight includes a first look at Jamie Lee Curtis in a guest-starring role that showcases her in a formidable, scene-stealing performance.
Produced by Blumhouse Television, the series also involves Comet Pictures (Curtis’ production company), Megamix by Jonathan Levine, and Sphere Media. Donovan and Herro serve as executive producers alongside Levine and Gillian Bohrer for Megamix; Curtis for Comet Pictures; and Jason Blum, Chris Dickie, Jeremy Gold, and Chris McCumber for Blumhouse Television. Lauren Grant is also an executive producer, as are Josée Vallée and Bruno Dubé for Sphere Media, with Russell Goldman acting as an associate producer for Comet Pictures.
Since 2015, Amazon MGM Studios has supported more than 40 Canadian-shot productions, including The Boys, Gen V, Reacher, and The Handmaid’s Tale in Ontario; Fargo and Billy the Kid in Alberta; and The Man in the High Castle and Upload in British Columbia. This track record has positioned Prime Video as a significant force in Canadian content, extending to Quebec with projects like Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan and The Voyeurs.
