Set in a bucolic but sinister town, the thriller will explore the insidious underbelly of the troubled teen industry and the eternal struggle between one generation and the next.
Martin will serve as co-showrunner alongside Ryan Scott. They will executive produce with Ben Farrell, Hannah Mackay, Jennifer Kawaja and Bruno Dubé. Objective Fiction and Sphere Media will produce.
"Tall Pines is a story I've been dying to tell for years, and I'm beyond excited for people to see what we have in store," said Martin. "It's going to be an insane roller coaster and so different to anything I've done before. Very very grateful to Netflix for supporting it, and I can't wait to get going."
"Tall Pines is a wildly entertaining story that explores the complex and sometimes twisted relationship between teens and adults," added Danielle Woodrow, Director of Content, Netflix Canada. "We're thrilled to be working with a singular talent like Mae and bringing their unique voice to one of our first commissions for Netflix Canada."
