LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: There's a sweet treat for fans of Jamie Lee Curtis! On Monday, October 28, Prime Video dropped a trailer for its upcoming dark comedy TV series ‘The Sticky’.

The trailer introduces us to an unexpected trio of maple syrup theives, dodging the law and causing chaos in their wild pursuit of "liquid gold", and maybe even murder. Surprisingly, the trailer gives a sneak peek of Jamie Lee Curtis, who not only made a guest appearance but also served as an executive producer on the series.

Inspired by the 2012 heist that stunned the world when over $18 million worth of maple syrup was stolen from Quebec's national reserves, ‘The Sticky’ follows Ruth Landry (three-time Emmy winner Margo Martindale), a gritty, no-nonsense maple syrup farmer. When bureaucrats threaten her way of life, she's pushed to the edge and decides to fight back. Joining forces with a fiery Boston mobster (Chris Diamantopoulos) and a soft-spoken French-canadian security guard (Guillaume Cyr), she plans a daring multi-million-dollar heist targeting Quebec's maple syrup reserves.

However, while it is based on the real Great Canadian Maple Syrup Heist, but the trailer exclusively makes it clear that “this is absolutely not the true story.”
