A HIT crime comedy featuring an A-list cast has been brutally axed after just one season.
The Sticky premiered in December 2024 and was loosely based on Great Canadian Maple Syrup Heist.
Emmy-winner Margo Martindale played the lead role — Ruth Landry, a Canadian maple syrup farmer.
With her land under threat, Ruth schemes to steal millions of dollars of maple syrup as revenge.
She teams up with a Boston mobster (Chris Diamantopoulos), as well as a mild-mannered security guard (Guillaume Cyr).
The show aired six episodes on the streamer – all of which dropped on December 6.
Margo, 73, is known for her acclaimed television roles on Justified and The Americans.
Meanwhile, Oscar-winner Jamie Lee Curtis executive produced and appeared as a guest star.
The real-life heist came to global attention back in 2012 – after more than $18 million worth of maple syrup was stolen.
Although The Sticky is based on these true events, the show’s creators stressed their plot bore very little resemblance to the real-life situation.
Across several months in 2011 and 2012, the contents of over 9,000 barrels were stolen from a FPAQ facility in Saint-Louis-de-Blandford.
The syrup had been stored in unmarked white barrels which were only checked once a year.
Thieves stole the barrels, drained the syrup and then refilled them with water.
This was to hide the fact that the warehouse stocks were being stolen.
Eventually, however, the scheme unravelled when thieves started leaving the barrels empty.
Between December 18 and 20, 2012, 17 men related to the theft were arrested.
LOVE Island’s Ekin-Su has made her London Fashion Week debut, as she walked the runway in a very stylish outfit.
It came after the smitten pair finally went Instagram official on leaving the Love Island All Stars South Africa villa.
Curtis, 29, and Ekin-Su, who placed third in this year’s All Stars, oozed glam in matching Burberry attire for their night out.
And Ekin shared some stunning behind-the-scenes snaps, where she could be seen waltzing down the catwalk.
The reality TV star favourite penned: “When life gives you a runway, strut it with confidence and grace.”
She added: “LFW with my lover,” before tagging her beau Curtis.
The pair opted for his and hers garments in tan and light blue check fabric, with Turkish actress Ekin-Su popping on a fashionable waistcoat and tie paired with an oversized skirt.
She threw a matching jacket over her arms and accessorised with sunglasses and black point-toe shoes.
Ekin and Curtis were at the designer Helen Anthony event with Curtis’ brother AJ, 30, who found fame starring as a show pro on Strictly Come Dancing.
Fans praised the star in the comments, as one penned: “These pics are EVERYTHING,” and someone else wrote: “Wow, girl you are killing it.”
The duo had been enlisted to present a segment for London Fashion Week, while Ekin also walked the catwalk and red carpet.
Ekin wrote: “Thank you for inviting us to walk and watch the show.”That was fun.”
It comes as the Love Island alum took a swipe at rivals Elma and Sammy following their clashes in the villa.
Both couples reached the Love Island All Stars final – but fell short of winning the £50,000 prize.
Ekin-Su and Curtis spoke to Amy Hart on the Love Island: The Morning After podcast following the finale.
Addressing tensions with Elma and Sammy, Curtis said: “I feel like the situations that went on… I don’t want to say we were in the wrong or the right.
“But I feel like we weren’t in the wrong.”
Ekin-Su continued: “I’m going to stand by that we were in the right. For me, that was not okay at the time.”
