Netflix has given a limited series order to ‘Tall Pines‘, a thriller from Mae Martin, who will also play a leading role in the show.

‘Tall Pines’ is a thriller set in a bucolic but sinister town that explores the insidious underbelly of the “troubled teen industry” and the eternal struggle between one generation and the next.

“Tall Pines is a story I’ve been dying to tell for years, and I’m beyond excited for people to see what we have in store! It’s going to be an insane roller coaster and so different to anything I’ve done before,” says Martin, who will star in the drama. “Very very grateful to Netflix for supporting it, and I can’t wait to get going.”

Mae Martin is a Canadian comedian, actor, and screenwriter whose previous work includes the Channel 4 series ‘Feel Good’ which they co-created and starred in, and received a BAFTA nomination for their performance. They have also appeared in HBO Max series ‘The Flight Attendant’, the BBC sitcom ‘Uncle’, and recently released a stand-up comedy special, ‘Mae Martin: SAP’, on Netflix.

“Tall Pines is a wildly entertaining story that explores the complex and sometimes twisted relationship between teens and adults,” adds Danielle Woodrow, Director, Content – Canada, Netflix. “We’re thrilled to be working with a singular talent like Mae and bringing their unique voice to one of our first commissions for Netflix Canada.”

Martin will serve as co-showrunner on the drama alongside Ryan Scott who previously served as a producer on Apple TV+ series ‘Servant’, USA Network’s ‘Treadstone’, and AMC’s ‘Fear the Walking Dead’. He also wrote on ‘Servant’ and ‘Fear’ along with other shows such as ‘Torchwood’, and ‘Revenge’.

Exec producers include Ben Farrell, producing through his company, Objective Fiction (‘Feel Good’, ‘The Gold’), Hannah Mackay (‘Peep Show’, ‘Year of the Rabbit’), Jennifer Kawaja (‘Sort Of’, ‘The Porter’, ‘Cardinal’), Bruno Dubé (‘Transplant’, ‘The Sticky’), alongside Martin and Scott. The series is produced by Sphere Media (‘Sort Of’, ‘Cardinal’, ‘Trickster’).

“Tall Pines is a truly gripping, intergenerational mystery thriller,” said Farrell. “Objective Fiction is delighted to be partnering with Netflix and Sphere Media to bring Mae Martin’s latest creation to the screen.”

‘Tall Pines‘ does not yet have a premiere date, but will air on Netflix worldwide. If you want to keep track of this or any other show, you can add them via our Never Miss system, and you’ll be notified when it gets a UK premiere date.
