CBC Crime Drama SAINT PIERRE Gets Trailer

CBC crime drama Saint Pierre is set to premiere in early 2025 and we now have a trailer.

UK crime drama fans will recognise star Josephine Jobert from her run on BBC Studios show Death In Paradise. She appeared in 54 episodes of the show and played DS Florence Cassell. Starring alongside her is Allan Hawco, his latest project is Sullivan’s Crossing appearing in 15 episodes.

After Royal Newfoundland Constabulary Inspector Donny “Fitz” Fitzpatrick (Allan Hawco) 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 just off the coast of Newfoundland.

Fitz’s arrival disrupts the life of Deputy Chief Geneviève “Arch” Archambault (Josephine Jobert). She is 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 — come together to solve unique and exciting crimes.

Although the islands seem like a quaint tourist destination, the idyllic façade conceals the worst kind of criminal activity which tend to wash up on its beautiful shores. At first at odds and suspicious of each other, Arch and Fitz soon discover that they are better together… a veritable crime-fighting force.
