Season 2 of CBC crime drama Saint-Pierre, starring Canada’s Allan Hawco and France’s Josephine Jobert, is expected to go into production this Spring.
Two cops fight crime on the French-owned Islands of St. Pierre et Miquelon located off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada.
Season one ended with a who-survived-the-shootout-in-a-cemetery cliffhanger.
Longer synopsis:
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)., 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 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.
Republic of Doyle’s Allan Hawco not only stars in the series, he co-created it and is a co-showrunner.
Production began in St. John’s, Newfoundland last May with some on location filming in Saint-Pierre et Miquelon, which is a 90-minute ferry ride from Fortune, Newfoundland or a 9-hour flight from Paris.
