Upcoming Heist Series on Prime Video Based on Outlandish True Story

Amazon Studios’ new series, The Sticky, takes a wild spin on a real-life heist involving maple syrup. Back in 2012, nearly $18.7 million worth of maple syrup mysteriously vanished. The show stars Guillaume Cyr as Remy Bouchard, along with Ruth Clarke as Mago Martindale and Chris Diamantopoulos as Mike Byrne.

I had the chance to chat with Chris Diamantopoulos about his role and the show’s audacious concept. He shed light on the inspiration behind the series and how the story we see on screen is a fantastic Hollywood twist on true events. Diamantopoulos showcased his enthusiasm for the show’s absurdity and how everything fell into place perfectly.

When discussing the potential for future seasons, Diamantopoulos hinted at exciting developments and hinted that The Sticky’s first season is just a small taste of what’s to come. He alluded to the significant questions left unanswered and hinted at the potential for multiple seasons down the line.

On the topic of his character, Mike, the not-so-great guy from The Sticky, Diamantopoulos shared his approach to portraying this complex character authentically. He expressed his desire to embody the character fully, embracing both Mike’s flaws and strengths, rather than trying to make him likable. Diamantopoulos reflected on the evolution of Mike’s character throughout the series and how rewarding it was to explore his different layers.

Diamantopoulos touched on the uniqueness of The Sticky compared to other streaming options out there. He praised the show’s blend of comedy and drama, its talented cast, and the unconventional heist setting in Canada. He emphasized the distinctiveness of the show’s format and storytelling approach, setting it apart from the rest.

Finally, when discussing his on-set experiences with his co-stars Margo Martindale and Guillaume Cyr, Diamantopoulos highlighted the fantastic chemistry between them. He described their dynamic as a perfect mix of different personalities, backgrounds, and acting styles, resulting in a delightful blend of flavors, much like vanilla, chocolate, and caramel.

With The Sticky set to hit screens soon, viewers can expect a thrilling ride through the quirky world of maple syrup heists that promises humor, drama, and plenty of surprises.
