Amazon has today confirmed the series order for the original drama series Three Pines starring Alfred Molina (The Normal Heart, Feud: Bette and Joan). Production on the 8-episode season has begun in Montreal for a 2022 premiere.
Based on the series of novels by Louise Penny, Chief Inspector Armand Gamache of the Sûreté du Québec (Molina) is 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 cast also includes Rossif Sutherland, Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers, Tantoo Cardinal, Clare Coulter, Sarah Booth, Anna Tierney, Julian Bailey, Frédéric-Antoine Guimond, Pierre Simpson, Tamara Brown, Marie-France Lambert, Frank Schorpion, Marcel Jeannin, Georgina Lynn Lightning, Crystle Lightning, Isabel Deroy-Olson and Anna Lambe.
Emilia di Girolamo developed the drama. She will executive produce with Molina, Andy Harries, Sharon Hughff, John Phillips and director Sam Donovan. Sony Pictures Television and Left Bank Pictures will produce.
