Prime Video has just unveiled an exciting first look at its upcoming series, “The Sticky,” which features the legendary Jamie Lee Curtis as a special guest star. Set to premiere on December 6, the show promises a wild ride that blends dark comedy with a sprinkle of real-life intrigue, inspired by the infamous “Great Canadian Maple Syrup Heist.”
The series centers around Ruth Landry, a gritty maple syrup farmer played by three-time Emmy winner Margo Martindale. When bureaucracy threatens to strip away her livelihood, Ruth dives headfirst into the world of crime. Joining her in this outrageous caper is a fiery Boston mobster and a mild-mannered French-Canadian security guard. Their mission? Pull off a daring heist to steal millions worth of Quebec’s maple syrup reserves, reminiscent of the shocking 2012 theft that made headlines when more than $18 million of syrup disappeared in the night.
Created by showrunners Ed Herro and Brian Donovan, “The Sticky” weaves together moments of humor and tension, showcasing a cultural clash that results in both laughter and nail-biting suspense. The cast also includes Chris Diamantopoulos, Guillaume Cyr, Gita Miller, and Guy Nadon, all delivering performances that are sure to engage viewers.
Production credits reveal that the series is a collaboration between Blumhouse Television, Jamie Lee Curtis’ Comet Pictures, and Jonathan Levine’s Megamix, with a talented lineup of executive producers. As audiences await the official trailer, they can feast their eyes on exclusive first-look images that set the tone for this thrilling new series.
