What Is Allan Hawco Doing Now? A Look At His Latest Projects

Allan Hawco is back on the small screen with a new crime drama. Saint-Pierre, a CBC series set to premiere in early 2025, marks his return to the genre. You might remember him from Republic of Doyle, the popular St. John’s-based series he starred in and co-created.

This time, Hawco is playing Inspector Gabriel “Gabe” Chiasson, the head of the homicide unit in the fictional town of Saint-Pierre, a fictional town in Newfoundland. Saint-Pierre’s setting is inspired by the real town of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, an archipelago located just off the coast of Newfoundland. The series takes advantage of the unique location and its history. The archipelago is the last remaining French territory in North America, and the show explores the cultural complexities and historical ties between France and Canada.

Beyond his role as an actor, Hawco is also a writer and director. He’s been involved in the industry for years, garnering critical acclaim for his work on Republic of Doyle and Hatching, Matching and Dispatching. Hawco is clearly excited to be back in the crime drama world. He’s been quoted as saying that he’s always loved the genre and that Saint-Pierre is a project he’s incredibly passionate about.
