Throughout the course of history, there have been some stunning heists that have taken place. Some of which we absolutely look down upon because they hurt people along the way, such as the Ponzi Scheme that Bernie Madoff ran a while back. While others, leave us in awe of how silliness and greed brought them to life. Such as the great United California Bank Robbery of 1972. Where some deluded individuals ripped off a bank out of the belief that somehow, President Nixon had millions of dollars hidden there. But of the many heists that have come and gone, there is one that will truly live on in infamy.
​
For in 2012, eighteen million dollars’ worth of Maple Syrup was stolen in a heist that was dubbed, the ‘Great Canadian Maple Syrup Heist’ and this was so infamous and so incredible, that it is about to become a television series. For earlier, Prime Video let it be known that The Sticky, a series inspired by this heist will hit the streamer on December 6, and to properly celebrate its forthcoming arrival, Prime Video was also happy to release some first-look photos and details regarding the show, all of which we will share with you now. So, you can properly count down the days to this fascinating series about one delectable heist.

‘Today, Prime Video released first look images for The Sticky (6x30), a fast-paced, dark comedy, inspired by the true story dubbed the "Great Canadian Maple Syrup Heist." From showrunners Ed Herro and Brian Donovan, the series follows Ruth Landry (three-time Emmy winner Margo Martindale), a tough, 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. Oscar and Emmy winner Jamie Lee Curtis also appears as a guest star in the series in addition to executive producing. The Sticky premieres on December 6 exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories around the world.
 
Inspired by a real-life heist that made international headlines in 2012, which saw more than $18 million worth of maple syrup stolen from Quebec's national reserves. The Sticky combines moments of culture-clash hilarity, edge-of-the-seat excitement and heartbreaking drama.
 
The Sticky is produced by Blumhouse Television, Jamie Lee Curtis’ Comet Pictures, Jonathan Levine’s Megamix and Sphere Media. Creators, executive producers, showrunners and writers are Brian Donovan and Ed Herro; executive producers Jonathan Levine and Gillian Bohrer for Megamix; Jamie Lee Curtis for Comet Pictures; Jason Blum, Chris McCumber, Jeremy Gold, and Chris Dickie for Blumhouse Television; and Michael Dowse.
