Hawco Productions releases new key art and trailer alongside the CBC announcement of the season two premiere date of CBC original series SAINT-PIERRE (12 x 60). The series will premiere on CBC TV and CBC Gem on Monday January 5th, 2026 and this season will include two more episodes than in its first season. Each Monday, episodes will be available to stream for free on CBC Gem starting at 9 a.m. ET, and air Monday nights at 9 p.m. (9:30 NT) on CBC TV. The police procedural filmed its second season this past year on location in Saint-Pierre et Miquelon, France, and St. John’s Newfoundland. It is produced by Hawco Productions for CBC and CBC Gem in association with global film and TV studio FIFTH SEASON, which handles global distribution.

Throughout its first season, SAINT-PIERRE was CBC’s #1 most-watched new series of the year and one of the top Canadian drama series nationwide.* The first season is currently available to stream for free on CBC Gem.

SAINT-PIERRE is the creation of Allan Hawco, Robina Lord-Stafford and Perry Chafe, with Hawco and Lord-Stafford as Showrunners. French star Josephine Jobert (Death in Paradise) and Canadian star Allan Hawco (Republic of Doyle, Caught, Jack Ryan) lead the cast playing Arch and Fitz, with James Purefoy (Rome, Sex Education, The Following), Benz Antoine (Four Brothers, Get Rich or Die Tryin’), Erika Prevost (The Boys, Dare Me) and Jean-Michel Le Gal (Paris Paris, Accused) rounding out the stellar team.

SEASON 2 SYNOPSIS: As if by fate, two seasoned yet entirely different police officers – Royal Newfoundland Constabulary Inspector Donald Fitzpatrick (Fitz), and Parisian Deputy Chief Geneviève Archambault (Arch) – are forced together to solve exciting cases in the French islands of Saint-Pierre et Miquelon. Initially at odds and suspicious of each other, Arch and Fitz soon discover that they are great at cracking the intriguing and often bizarre crimes that wash up on the islands’ beautiful North Atlantic shores.

Season Two opens with Arch and Fitz dealing with the fallout from Season One’s graveyard shootout, but they have little time to reflect before being thrown into an edge-of-your-seat twisted case. With a new friendship forged through their professional success and sharing of personal secrets, Arch and Fitz grow even closer. As they investigate a potential serial killer on the loose, and a host of new criminals and unique villainy with specific ties to their jurisdiction, Arch and Fitz will rely on each other and their formidable team to protect Saint-Pierre.

SAINT-PIERRE is executive produced by Janine Squires, Erin Sullivan, Robina Lord-Stafford, John Vatcher and Allan Hawco.

A new trailer for Disney and Pixar’s highly anticipated original animated comedy “Hoppers” debuts today.

The all-star ensemble features the voices of Meryl Streep (Insect Queen), Dave Franco (Titus), Kathy Najimy (Dr. Sam), Eduardo Franco (Loaf), Melissa Villaseñor (Ellen), Ego Nwodim (Fish Queen), Vanessa Bayer (Diane), Sam Richardson (Conner), Aparna Nancherla (Nisha), Nichole Sakura (Reptile Queens), Isiah Whitlock Jr. (Bird King), Steve Purcell (Amphibian King), Karen Huie (Grandma Tanaka) and Tom Law (Tom Lizard), along with previously announced voice cast members Piper Curda (Mabel), Bobby Moynihan (King George) and Jon Hamm (Mayor Jerry).

“We have assembled a legendary cast for ‘Hoppers,’ and the voice talent really gave the film all they had. Be it uproarious humor, heartfelt emotion or crazy animal noises, they delivered beyond our expectations,” stated director Daniel Chong and producer Nicole Paradis Grindle.

The trailer provides a closer look at the animated comedy adventure which introduces Mabel, an animal lover who seizes an opportunity to use a new technology to ‘hop’ her consciousness into a life-like robotic beaver and communicate directly with animals. Using the technology, Mabel uncovers mysteries within the animal world that are beyond anything she could have imagined.

“Hoppers” features the voice of Bobby Moynihan as King George, an undeniably optimistic, kind and larger-than-life beaver who is the leader of the pond and king of the mammals. Jon Hamm voices Mayor Jerry, a politician running for reelection in Beaverton. Under his shiny, perfectly coiffed hair and matching public persona, Jerry is losing his cool over the one thing he can’t control: Mabel.

“Hoppers” is directed by Daniel Chong (“We Bare Bears”), produced by Nicole Paradis Grindle (“Incredibles 2”) and features an original score by composer Mark Mothersbaugh (“Thor: Ragnarok”). The film opens exclusively in theatres on March 6, 2026.
