The Honourable Steve Crocker, Minister of Tourism, Culture, Arts and Recreation, is congratulating the cast and crew of Saint-Pierre, which premieres today, Monday, January 6, and the cast and crew of Son of a Critch on the premiere of season four.
Saint-Pierre follows Royal Newfoundland Constabulary Inspector Donny “Fitz” Fitzpatrick, who is exiled to Saint-Pierre et Miquelon. His arrival disrupts Deputy Chief Geneviève “Arch” Archambault’s life, and the two officers – played by Allan Hawco and Josephine Jobert – must team up to solve crimes in the seemingly peaceful island community. Saint-Pierre was created by Allan Hawco, Robina Lord-Stafford, and Perry Chafe. Saint-Pierre airs on CBC and CBC Gem.
Additionally, the fourth season of Son of a Critch, based on comedian Mark Critch’s best-selling memoir, Son of a Critch: A Childish Newfoundland Memoir, and featuring Mr. Critch, along with Benjamin Evan Ainsworth, Malcolm McDowell, Claire Rankin, Sophia Powers, and Mark Rivera, premieres on Tuesday, January 7, on CBC and CBC Gem. It is filmed on location in Newfoundland and Labrador.
In the 2023-24 fiscal year, the film and television industry in the province generated approximately $74 million in production activity. To date, production activity for the 2024-25 fiscal year is approaching $83 million, resulting in the creation of around 1,440 full-time equivalent jobs. The Provincial Government is proud to continue its support for Newfoundland and Labrador’s growing film and television sector.
