Netflix Announces new limited series Tall Pines from Mae Martin, Objective Fiction, SphereMedia and Ryan Scott

Netflix today announced an 8 episode limited series order for Tall Pines, a thriller from Mae Martin.

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, with Martin playing the lead role in the show.

Mae Martin, Creator, Co-Showrunner and Executive Producer, said, "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. Very very grateful to Netflix for supporting it, and I can't wait to get going.

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

Jennifer Kawaja, President English Scripted, Executive Producer, SphereMedia said, “This is a fantastic project and Sphere is thrilled to be part of the team, with Netflix and Objective Fiction, producing work with a unique Canadian voice at its center.

Danielle Woodrow, Director, Content - Canada, Netflix: “Tall Pines is a wildly entertaining story that explores the complex and sometimes twisted relationship between teens and adults. 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.”

Mae Martin is Co-Showrunner and Executive Producer alongside Ryan Scott (Servant, Treadstone, Fear The Walking Dead). Objective Fiction's Ben Farrell will executive produce alongside Hannah Mackay (Peep Show, Year of the Rabbit), Jennifer Kawaja (Sort Of, The Porter, Cardinal) and Bruno Dubé (Transplant, The Sticky)

Tall Pines is one of Netflix Canada's first original commissions.
