"With 'Three Pines,' we continue to grow our slate of local originals and overall investment in Canada," said Christina Wayne, director of Canadian originals at Amazon Studios. “The series will be our first locally produced scripted drama, and we are thrilled to be working with Left Bank to bring these layered characters, unique settings and masterfully constructed mysteries that Louise created to Prime Video. Alfred Molina perfectly embodies Gamache's cerebral and compassionate nature, and leads a tremendous cast."
“Alfred Molina is one of my favorite actors and it's exciting to work with him again,” said Andy Harries, CEO of Left Bank Pictures. “His warmth, talent and charisma are perfect for playing Louise Penny's beloved Inspector Gamache. We are privileged to film 'Three Pines' as our first series in Canada and bring the originality and popularity of their incredible stories to a global audience."

"Three Pines" is an adaptation of the mystery book series written by Louise Penny, so the premise is quite simple: there will be multiple murders in the Amazon original series, and Inspector Gamache (Molina) will try to solve them. The tagline, according to the Amazon statement, reads: "Gamache de la Sûreté du Québec is a man who sees things that others do not see: the light between the cracks, the mythical in the mundane, and the evil in the seemingly ordinary. As he investigates a series of murders in Three Pines, a seemingly idyllic town, unearths long-buried secrets and confronts some of his own ghosts."
In general, Penny's murder mysteries are cozy whodunits, rich in Canadian history and with an eccentric cast of small-town characters. She thinks of Agatha Christie, but in Québecois. They also don't contain much in the way of excessive sex or violence, so the tone of the series will likely lean even more towards Christie rather than more recent criminal proceedings like the often lurid "Criminal Minds."
At this point, it's unclear if the plan is to adapt "Still Life," the first book in the series, or to go another route. "Still Life" was previously adapted into the 2013 TV movie "Still Life: A Three Pines Mystery". Fans of the books and the mystery genre will simply have to wait for more information on the upcoming series, though probably not much.
