It’s the last call for CBC’s homegrown P.I. drama “Republic of Doyle” as the series wraps its sixth and final season with a special two-hour, adrenaline-fueled finale.
The action-packed drama debuted on CBC in 2010 and has become a staple in the prime-time line-up – the original Canadian production has gone on to be distributed in more than 98 countries and comes to a close following a successful sixth season run on CBC.
Set and filmed in St. John’s, Newfoundland, the series has single-handedly helped to stimulate the province’s television production industry and it is the largest original TV or film production ever mounted in Newfoundland and Labrador The popular program has become an overwhelming success, hosting top-tier talent with guest stars including Gordon Pinsent, Shannon Tweed, Paul Gross, Academy Award-winner Russell Crowe, Alan Doyle, Cathy Jones, Shaun Majumder, and many more.
After a trying season, it’s the last call for the Doyle clan as their fate is determined in back-to-back episodes, in the two-hour finale. In “Judgement Day,” Jake’s murder charge is front and centre, while Leslie faces her own life-changing events with her job on the line. Des finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time and Tinny is caught between her family and her job. And in the midst of everything, the Doyles have 48 hours to solve a complicated case before their world changes forever.
In part two, “Last Call,” the battle for the Republic is on. Jake and Leslie fight for their lives as powerful enemies close ranks. The Doyles pull out every trick to protect their own and get help from an unexpected ally. Everything comes down to the wire as they hunt for the evidence they need to clear Jake’s murder charge and secure freedom in the City of Legends.
The two-hour series finale of “Republic of Doyle” will air on Wednesday, December 10th at 8pm.
