Amazon Prime Video has announced a brand new Canadian Original drama series ‘Three Pines’ in association with Left Bank Pictures, the Sony Pictures Television-owned production company behind ‘The Crown’.

Other cast members joining Molina in Amazon’s ‘Three Pines’ are Rossif Sutherland, Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers, Tantoo Cardinal, Clare Coulter, Sarah Booth, Anna Tierney, Julian Bailey, Frédéric-Antoine Guimond, Pierre Simpson, Tamara Brown, Marie-France Lambert, Frank Schorpion, Marcel Jeannin, Georgina Lynn Lightning, Crystle Lightning, Isabel Deroy-Olson and Anna Lambe.
The series will film from August to December in Montreal and rural Quebec and will comprise of eight one hour episodes. Emilia di Girolamo is the lead writer for ‘Three Pines’ and has adapted the series from the novel. Catherine Tregenna will write two episodes. Directors on the series are Sam Donovan, serving as lead director, Mohawk director Tracey Deer, and Daniel Grou.
