TORONTO – Amazon Prime Video and UK-based production company Left Bank Pictures announced today the beginning of production on Three Pines, a Canadian Amazon Original drama series.
The series “is based on Canadian author Louise Penny’s New York Times– and Globe and Mail-best-selling Chief Inspector Armand Gamache novels,” a press release says.
The eight-episode drama stars Alfred Molina (above) and is filming from August to December in Montreal and rural Quebec.
“The series follows Chief Inspector Armand Gamache (Alfred Molina) of the Sûreté du Québec, a man who sees things that others do not: the light between the cracks, the mythic in the mundane, and the evil in the seemingly ordinary. As he investigates a spate of murders in Three Pines, a seemingly idyllic village, he discovers long-buried secrets and faces a few of his own ghosts,” the press release says.
“Three Pines comes from Amazon Studios and is produced by Left Bank Pictures, the Sony Pictures Television-owned production company behind The Crown, with Canadian production company Muse Entertainment providing production services.”
Andy Harries, Sharon Hughff and John Phillips from Left Bank Pictures are executive producers of the series along with Sam Donovan, Emilia di Girolamo, and Molina.
di Girolamo is also the lead writer while “Catherine Tregenna will pen two additional episodes,” the press release says. Directors include Sam Donovan as lead director, Mohawk director Tracey Deer, and Daniel Grou.
“John Griffin will series produce. Tracey Deer also serves as Indigenous consultant, alongside Katsitsionni Melissa Fox. IllumiNative will also consult on the series,” the press release says.
Three Pines will “launch exclusively on Prime Video in Canada, U.S., UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and Greenland. Sony Pictures Television will handle all other international sales,” the press release says.
