Saint-Pierre is a Canadian police procedural television series, slated to premiere in the 2024–25 season on CBC Television.[1] The series stars Allan Hawco as Donny "Fitz" Fitzpatrick, a police officer with the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary; after one of his investigations gets uncomfortably close to the corruption of a powerful local politician, he is exiled to the French territory of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, where he partners with local police officer Geneviève "Arch" Archambault (Joséphine Jobert) to solve local crimes.[2]
James Purefoy is also slated to star as Sean Gallagher.[2]
The series was created by Hawco, Robina Lord-Stafford and Perry Chafe for Hawco Productions.[3]
