Saint-Pierre Season 2 Canadian broadcaster CBC has announced

CBC has confirmed January 5, 2026, as the premiere date for the highly anticipated second season of Saint-Pierre, releasing a dark new trailer that escalates the crime drama’s stakes with a serial-killer storyline on the French North Atlantic territory of Saint-Pierre et Miquelon.

Key Highlights

• Season 2 begins Monday, January 5, 2026, at 9 p.m. (9:30 p.m. NT) on CBC and streams immediately on CBC Gem.
• Exiled Royal Newfoundland Constabulary Inspector Donald “Fitz” Fitzpatrick (Allan Hawco) and Parisian Deputy Chief Geneviève “Arch” Archambault (Josephine Jobert) hunt a serial killer whose ritualistic murders involve organ removal.
• The 12-episode season directly continues the fallout from Season 1 while deepening the partnership between the mismatched detectives.

The newly released trailer features chilling narration stating, “Gruesome doesn’t come close to describing this,” as investigators discover a victim stripped, posed, and missing most organs. The footage highlights the growing personal and professional bond between Fitz—banished to the islands after exposing corruption involving Newfoundland’s Premier—and Arch, a Parisian officer secretly targeting international crime lord Sean Gallagher.

Core Premise and Character Dynamics

Saint-Pierre follows Fitz’s forced relocation to the picturesque yet crime-ridden French territory, where his brash Newfoundland style clashes with Arch’s methodical Parisian approach. Despite initial distrust, the duo prove more effective together against criminals drawn to the islands’ strategic location and lax oversight.

Production and Broadcast Details

Filmed on location in Saint-Pierre et Miquelon and St. John’s, Newfoundland, the series is created by Allan Hawco, Robina Lord-Stafford, and Perry Chafe, with Hawco and Lord-Stafford serving as showrunners. Hawco Productions produces in association with Fifth Season, which manages international distribution.

Season 1 established Saint-Pierre as CBC’s most-watched new drama of 2025, cementing its status as a flagship Canadian crime series.

What This Means for Fans

By transforming the fish-out-of-water premise into a darker serialized thriller, Season 2 positions Saint-Pierre as CBC’s answer to global hits like Shetland and Reacher. The evolving Fitz-Arch relationship—built on mutual respect forged through adversity—offers emotional depth alongside procedural intensity, while the remote French territory setting continues to provide a visually striking and narratively rich backdrop unlikely to be duplicated elsewhere on television.
