back in April 2022. As previously reported, the series is inspired by the true story of “The Great Canadian Maple Syrup Heist.” The real heist involved the theft of $18 million dollars of of Quebec’s national maple syrup, which is more than 70% of the global maple syrup supply.
Per the official logline for the half-hour comedy series, “‘The Sticky’ revolves around Ruth Clarke , a tough, supremely competent middle-aged Canadian maple syrup farmer who’s had it with being hemmed in by the polite, bureaucratic conventions native to her country’s identity. Especially now that that very bureaucracy is threatening to take away everything she loves: Her farm, her comatose husband, and her right to freedom.
Martindale is a celebrated character actress who has won three guest actress in a drama series Emmys throughout her career — two for “The Americans” and one for “Justified.” Her recent and upcoming credits include the film “Cocaine Bear,” “Your Honor” at Showtime, “The Accused” at Fox, “Mrs. Davis ” at Peacock, and “The Watcher” at Netflix. She also memorably voiced a highly-fictionalized version of herself in the hit Netflix animated series “BoJack Horseman.
