‘The Sticky’ trailer: Margo Martindale, Jamie Lee Curtis, and the Great Canadian Maple Syrup Heist

Esteemed character actor Margo Martindale (The Americans, Bojack Horseman) takes on the infamous Great Canadian Maple Syrup Heist in Prime Video’s upcoming dark comedy series The Sticky. That’s right. In 2011 and 2012, thieves carried out a multi-million dollar raid on Quebec’s syrup reserves. “Sticky situation” barely begins to cover it.

Martindale stars as Ruth Landry, a maple syrup farmer who is about to lose everything to bureaucratic forces beyond her control. What’s Ruth to do but turn to a life of crime? She teams up with a debonair mobster (Chris Diamantopoulos, Silicon Valley) and an oafish security guard (Guillaume Cyr) to steal millions of dollars worth of syrup from Quebec. Jamie Lee Curtis (The Bear, Everything Everywhere All at Once) produces and also costars in this wild tale.

The Sticky hits Prime Video Dec. 6.
