Allan Hawco’s New Series ‘Saint-Pierre’ Premieres on CBC Television
A fresh year brings new opportunities in the world of television, and one of those exciting prospects is the arrival of the new series, “Saint-Pierre,” debuting on CBC Television. This show promises not only captivating content but also a local flavor, as much of its filming takes place in the St. John’s area.
Setting the Scene in Saint-Pierre
Set on the French islands off the coast of Newfoundland, “Saint-Pierre” explores the rich culture and challenging environment of these islands. Allan Hawco, well-known for his role as Inspector Donny “Fitz” Fitzpatrick, is both the co-creator and star of this new venture. Hawco’s experience and fan following add a significant level of anticipation to the series.
Hawco’s Creative Journey
For Allan Hawco, creating “Saint-Pierre” was about venturing into a new genre without retracing his steps. As he explained, “I always wanted to do a straight cop drama but I couldn’t rehash what we did with Doyle. So, it really took me a long time to get my head around that because I wanted to shoot here and I want to do things here. That’s where Saint-Pierre came into the mix.”
Location and Local Talent
The decision to film a significant portion of the series in and around St. John’s is not only a logistical choice but also a powerful way to highlight the region’s assets. By using St. John’s as a backdrop, the show will likely bring local actors into the spotlight, fostering a strong community connection to the production.
Expected Impact
Given Allan Hawco’s strong reputation and steady fanbase, “Saint-Pierre” is poised to attract a diverse audience. Fans of crime dramas as well as those interested in the Newfoundland region will find this series compelling. Hawco’s ability to bring his character to life while exploring a new setting will likely please both newcomers and long-standing viewers.
Wrap Up and Future Outlook
