Margo Martindale leads a maple syrup heist in the trailer for The Sticky

Prime Video has unveiled the first look at its upcoming comedy series The Sticky. The trailer introduces an unlikely trio of maple syrup thieves, played by Margo Martindale, Chris Diamantopoulos and Guillaume Cyr. It also gives a glimpse of Jamie Lee Curtis, who also produces the series, in a guest role.



From Blumhouse Television, The Sticky is inspired by a real-life heist that made global headlines in 2012 in which more than $18 million worth of maple syrup was stolen from Quebec's national reserves.

The six-episode series follows Martindale as Ruth Landry, a tough, middle-aged maple syrup farmer who turns to crime when bureaucratic authorities threaten to take away everything she holds dear. She teams up with an irascible Bostonian gangster (Diamantopoulos) and a mild-mannered French-Canadian security guard (Cyr) to carry out a multi-million heist on Quebec's maple syrup surpluses.

The series was created by American Housewife duo Brian Donovan and Ed Herro. They co-show run and produce. Nine Perfect Strangers director Jonathan Levine directs and produces with his production partner Gillian Bohrer.

Curtis, who has a first-look deal with Blumhouse, is producing for Comet Pictures; Josée Vallée and Bruno Dubé produce for Sphere Media; and Jason Blum, Chris McCumber and Jeremy Gold produce for Blumhouse Television.

All six episodes of The Sticky will be released on the streamer on Friday, December 6.
