Prime Video released the official trailer and key art for The Sticky, a fast-paced, dark comedy series from Blumhouse Television.

The Sticky series is inspired by a real-life heist that made global headlines in 2012. More than $18 million worth of maple syrup was stolen from Quebec’s national reserves.

From showrunners Brian Donovan and Ed Herro, The Sticky combines moments of culture-clash hilarity, edge-of-the-seat excitement, and heartbreaking drama.

It follows Ruth Landry (three-time Emmy Award winner Margo Martindale), a rugged, middle-aged maple syrup farmer who turns to crime when the bureaucratic authorities threaten to take away everything she loves.

She teams up with the hot-tempered Bostonian mobster (Chris Diamantopoulos) and a mild-mannered French-Canadian security guard (Guillaume Cyr) to carry out a multi-million-dollar heist on Quebec’s maple syrup surplus.

The unlikely trio of maple syrup thieves are introduced as they evade the long arm of the law, create mayhem in their quest for liquid gold, and potentially dabble in murder.

The trailer also delivers the first glimpse of legendary Oscar and Emmy Award winner Jamie Lee Curtis sinking her teeth into an unwavering, powerhouse guest-starring role.

All six episodes of The Sticky premiere on the 6th of December exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.
