Geektown Talks To is back, and in this episode, Dave sits down with actress Joséphine Jobert to discuss her new crime drama ‘Saint-Pierre’, which recently launched in the UK on U&Alibi.
UK viewers will know Joséphine from ‘Death in Paradise’, but in ‘Saint-Pierre’ she takes on a very different kind of island detective role as Deputy Chief Geneviève “Arch” Archambault. Set on the French territory of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, just off the coast of Newfoundland, the series follows Arch as she is partnered with Donny “Fitz” Fitzpatrick, played by Allan Hawco, after Fitz is sent to the island following trouble back home.
In the interview, Joséphine talks about why she was initially unsure about doing another police drama after ‘Death in Paradise’, what changed her mind when she read the script, and how Arch became a character who meant far more to her than she expected.
She also discusses filming on Saint-Pierre itself, swapping Guadeloupe sunshine for much colder North Atlantic weather, the chemistry between Arch and Fitz, and what it is like working opposite Allan Hawco, who is not only her co-star, but also co-creator and executive producer of the show.
Plus, Dave and Joséphine chat about the show’s success in Canada, the brutal Season 1 cliffhanger, the possibility of more ‘Saint-Pierre’, her upcoming projects, reality TV guilty pleasures, and why she would love to step into the world of Marvel.
‘Saint-Pierre’ Season 1 is airing now on U&Alibi in the UK.
