Death in Paradise favourite's new crime drama finally releases in the UK very soon
Joséphine Jobert stars in Canadian crime drama Saint-Pierre.
It's been over a year since Saint-Pierre, the Canadian crime drama starring Death in Paradise's Florence star Joséphine Jobert, first aired on CBC, but now a release date has finally been confirmed for viewers in the UK.
The series, which also stars Jack Ryan's Allan Hawco, will officially premiere in the UK on U&Alibi on 23 April 2026 at 8pm.
In Canada, the series has already run for two seasons, but in the UK it will be starting from the very beginning, with the first episode introducing us to the central characters Donny 'Fitz' Fitzpatrick and Deputy Chief Geneviève 'Arch' Archambault.
The synopsis for the series says: "After the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary Inspector, Donny Fitzpatrick (Fitz), digs too deeply into a local politician’s nefarious activity, he is exiled to work in Saint-Pierre et Miquelon — the French Territory nestled in the Atlantic Ocean. Fitz’s arrival disrupts the life of Deputy Chief Genevieve Archambault (Arch), a Parisian transplant who is in Saint-Pierre for her own intriguing reasons."
The synopsis continues: "As if by fate, these two seasoned officers — with very different policing skills and approaches — are forced together to solve unique and exciting crimes. Although the islands seem like a quaint tourist destination, the idyllic facade conceals the worst kind of criminal activity, which tends to wash up on beautiful shores.
"At first at odds and suspicious of each other, Arch and Fitz soon discover that they are better together."
Other members of the cast for Saint-Pierre include Benz Antoine, Erika Prevost, Jean-Michel Le Gal, Tamara Podemski, James Purefoy, Maxim Roy and Tim Rozon.
