The Snake is a Canadian comedy film, directed by Jenna MacMillan and released in 2026. The film stars Susan Kent as Jamie, an "ungovernable" wild woman whose abrasive behaviour leads to upheaval in her personal life after a conflict with her mother Anne (Robin Duke) results in her being evicted from living in her mother's home, and who initiates an affair with her best friend's husband after being dumped by her own boyfriend.
The cast also includes Jonathan Torrens, Dan Petronijevic, Emma Hunter, Kim Roberts, Kenny Robinson, Jacqueline Robbins, Joyce Robbins and Jimbo in supporting roles.
The film, MacMillan's directorial debut following several credits as a producer, was shot in 2025 in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. The first PEI-shot film ever to premiere at a major international film festival, it premiered on March 13, 2026, at the 2026 South by Southwest Film & TV Festival.
It has been acquired for commercial distribution by Game Theory Films.
At SXSW, Kent won a Special Jury Award for her performance in the film.
