Many Sleuthers have been waiting a long time for this series to return. Who is returning along with Lori?

Here are the details we know.

Sarah Strange Returns As Dani In Lori Loughlin’s Return

Lori Loughlin is back as Jennifer Shannon in Garage Sale Mysteries: Murder Takes The Stage. What about the other OG actors.

Firstly, Sarah Strange is back as Dani, Jennifer’s best friend. This best pals relationship is what so many Sleuthers love about this series. Oftentimes, Dani is into a New Age or health kick. This could mean trying a kale smoothie, or balancing chakras. Or, Dani dates the killer or the red herring!

This friendship offers some laughs and an opportunity for lightheartedness in between looking for clues during an intense murder investigation.

Sarah has goest starred in a couple of Hallmark productions including Curious Caterer: Forbidden Fruit, and Aurora Teagarden Mysteries: Death At The Diner.

Steve Bacic Is Back For New Garage Sale Mysteries

It is safe to say that Lori Loughlin’s return to Garage Sale Mysteries would not be complete without Steve Bacic. This Hallmark Hunk portrays Jennifer’s handsome husband Jason Shannon.

A fan favorite, Steve has thankfully been in many Hallmark productions the past six years. This includes his leading role as Detective Cook in the Aurora Teagarden Mysteries prequel series.

The Other OG Garage Sale Mystery Stars Returning With Lori Loughlin

Who else from the original Garage Sale Mysteries series is back for Murder Takes The Stage?

Firstly, Kevin O’Grady is back as Detective Frank Lynwood. Kevin has been busy with a cornucopia of roles these past years. They include Peacemaker and Christmas Above The Clouds.

Next, Eva Bourne is back as Jennifer and Jason’s daughter, Hannah Shannon. She was also in When Calls The Heart for 60 episodes, until 2021. She did star in Devil In Ohio, and was most recently back for the popular A ’90s Christmas for Hallmark.

Lastly, Connor Stanhope is also returning to the mystery series as Logan Shannon, Jennifer and Jason’s son. For the past few years, Connor has been very busy with the Netflix hit series My Life With The Walter Boys, as Danny Walter.

Looks like the gang is all coming back for the new movie!

The premiere of Garage Sale Mysteries: Murder Takes The Stage is on Saturday, September 19, at 8 p.m. Eastern, on the Hallmark Channel. This movie will be available to stream on Hallmark+ the next day.

The post Lori Loughlin Is Back With ‘Garage Sale Mysteries: Murder Takes The Stage’: Which Other OG Stars Are Also Returning To This Hallmark Mystery Series? appeared first on Mystery and Romance TV.

This is a great question. That is because these are the movies that essentially launched the Hallmark Channel.

Originally called the Hallmark Television Playhouse 75 years ago, the famed card company created spectacular movies that were compared to what was seen at the cinema. They adapted Shakespeare’s plays, and made biographical movies. Some of the early titles included Macbeth, Hamlet, and Alice In Wonderland.

These two-hour movies were more expensive than anything that was on television at that time. The company splashed out big bucks to create something special.

In addition, these movies took three to four weeks to make. This was not like the current cost effective two-week film schedule. The subjects were more serious. People died in these movies. They were not unlike Miracles Of Christmas movies, but more sumptuous and expensive.

Most of all, such actors as Laurence Olivier and Richard Burton starred in these movies. Back in those days, big-name actors were not making television series. This was something special for viewers.

However, the last Hall Of Fame movie was A Christmas Love Story starring Kristin Chenoweth and Scott Wolf, which was part of Countdown To Christmas 2019.

What has the network said about this beloved series of movies returning?

Will Hallmark Hall Of Fame Movies Return?

Just two years ago, at the TCA Summer 2024, Hallmark executives shared big news about the rebranding of the network’s streaming platform, Hallmark Plus. Those executives included then President and CEO, Mike Perry (who is the current CEO), former EVP of Programming, Lisa Hamilton Daly, former Chief Brand Officer, and current President, Darren Abbott, and former EVP Streaming and Digital Platforms Emily Powers.

The news of Hallmark+ created a flurry of questions, including whether the network would bring back its prestigious Hall Of Fame movies.

On Twitter, writer Matt Mitovich shared the reply. “We’re continually figuring out how to bring back Hallmark Hall of Fame.”

In addition, Meghan O’Keefe’s shared on Twitter, “When asked if Hallmark Hall of Fame will be on Hallmark+, Hamilton Daly says they are discussing bringing it back and what platform it will be best served on.”

At that time, it appeared that the network had conversations about this big piece of Hallmark’s history.

However, it appears that they remained only in the discussion stage. Since then, Hallmark+ has been through a metamorphoses. Furthermore, so has the network’s top executive team.

Hallmark Made Major Changes To Programming

Back when Hallmark’s then EVP of Programming, Lisa Hamilton Daly, said that they were discussing the details of bringing the Hallmark Hallmark of Fame movies, it was just two years ago.

However, those movies have not returned. That is not all. Hallmark Plus experienced a lot of changes.

The reimagined streaming channel started out as a third channel for the network, with original programming and movies. This is where The Chicken Sisters and Mistletoe Murders launched. The streaming channel aired old movies, but not new ones.

However, viewers were confused. Many purchased the app to watch Countdown To Christmas movies. While there were all the old movies, and new Cherry Lane movies, and the first holiday limited series, Holidazed, viewers wanted to see Countdown To Christmas movies.

Adding to that confusion, Finding Mr. Christmas was on Hallmark+, but the movie that the winner was starring in was on the Hallmark Channel.

Around the time of the premiere of Happy Howlidays, Hallmark changed their format and made all of the new Countdown To Christmas and Miracles of Christmas movies available to stream.

Since then, the network made the Hallmark Mystery Channel dormant, premiering mysteries on the OG channel. Also, it took another year before they started to re-relaunch Hallmark+ with new series like Hope Valley 1874, and Paris Is Always A Good Idea.

However, the network did not make a new Hall of Fame movie since that 2024 glimmer of hope.

Hallmark Has Changed Leadership Since Hall Of Fame Discussion

One of the reasons that the Hallmark Hall Of Fame movies may still be stalled is that there was a major executive shakeup at the network. Fifty percent of the team at the TCAs was gone, and the network has not said an anything about Hallmark Hall of Fame Movies.

Firstly, Emily Powers, Executive Vice President, Streaming and Digital Platforms has no longer worked for Hallmark since April 2025. She is now an independent consultant and used to be the head of BritBox North America for seven years before going to Hallmark.

As everyone knows, Lisa Hamilton Daly’s position as EVP of Programming was eliminated in January 2025.

That position not so surprisingly came back when Michelle Vicary returned in August 2025.

Vicary has brought back Lori Loughlin, and Jesse Metcalfe. However, there has not been anything mentioned about Hallmark Hall Of Fame returning.

Do you think it is time for Hallmark to bring back Hall of Fame? How would you like it to return? For Christmas? Four times a year?

Also, which non-Hallmark stars would you like to see in a Hall of Fame movie? Harrison Ford (let’s dream big!) Meryl Streep, maybe Billy Bob Thornton?

Share your wishes in the comments below. Hopefully, the network will consider bringing back Hallmark Hall of Fame movies.

Could Hallmark Bring Back Jesse Metcalfe’s Mystery Series?

Right after Hallmark premiered Absolutely Devoted To You starring Jesse Metcalfe and Kimberley Sustad, the network’s Mystery Channel social media revealed that they were airing a Martha’s Vineyard Mysteries marathon.

Needless to say, Sleuthers demanded that the series return.

Firstly, several fans pointed out that viewers never found out who shot Jeff Jackson, Metcalfe’s character.

Moreover, what is next for Jeff and Dr. Zee Madieras, portrayed by Sarah Lind.

In the series, based on the Philip R. Craig novels, Jeff Jackson was a Boston Police Department detective who was forced to retire because he was shot.

However, this cliffhanger was never resolved.

Philip R. Craig was a prolific writer. There is a cornucopia of over 20 books in this series. That means plenty of opportunities for the network to get scripts written and more mysteries made.

Jesse Metcalfe Was Heavily Invested In His Hallmark Mystery Series

Jesse Metcalfe was not only the star of the Martha’s Vineyard Mysteries on Hallmark, he was an executive producer of the series. Therefore, he was heavily invested.

Speaking to the Cape Cod Times, Sergeant James “Jamie” Craig, the son of the late series author, Philip R. Craig, heaped praise on the Christmas Under The Stars actor.

Jesse’s really cool

He reads the books, he loves the character, he loves the way my father wrote the repertoire back and forth between Jeff and Zee. His being passionate about the character really helps.

From the beginning, the John Tucker Must Die star was the perfect actor to portray Jeff.

Hallmark, Metcalfe and Jamie Craig worked together to make the book series work for the network.

This really paid off. All four movies have earned high sixes on IMDb. While the network’s top series, Mystery 101, has averaged low sevens, this series has a favorable rating amongst Sleuthers. It is very comparable to Garage Sale Mysteries, which went on a six year hiatus and is returning in September.

Now that Michelle Vicary has returned to Hallmark, could she bring back Jesse’s series?

• Riddled With Deceit: A Martha’s Vineyard Mystery
• Ships In The Night: A Martha’s Vineyard Mystery
• Poisoned In Paradise: A Martha’s Vineyard Mystery

Sleuthers, would you like to see Martha’s Vineyard Mysteries back on Hallmark? Please share your opinion in the comments below.

The post Jesse Metcalfe’s Sizzling Hallmark Return In ‘Absolutely Devoted To You’ With Kimberley Sustad Has Sleuthers Demanding Return Of ‘Martha’s Vineyard Mysteries’ appeared first on Mystery and Romance TV.

According to AMC Global Media, the series will soon start filming the second season as well as a two-part special which will air in December. The six-episode Season 2 will premiere on Acorn TV sometime in 2027.

Art Detectives Number One New Series Premiere

Art Detectives Season 1 was the the number one new series premiere for Acorn TV. Since then, Brooke Shields’ You’re Killing Me has topped that feat.

There is no doubt that Acorn TV has become the place for cozy mystery fans to find unique and entertaining mystery series.

Stephen Moyer portrays DI (Detective Inspector) Mick Palmar in Art Detectives. Nina Singh plays his partner DC Shazia Malik. Together, the pair solve art crimes for the Heritage Crime Unit. The crimes are a cornucopia of fine art, antiques, and even murder!

In addition to Moyer and Singh, Larry Lamb also stars. He portrays Ron Palmer, Mick’s father and notorious art-forger.

Stephen Moyer Teases Season 2 Of Acorn TV Series

Art Detectives star Stephen Moyer is also a producer. Needless to say, he is quite happy to be back for more.

Great art, rare antiques, expensive collections and a battered satchel – what’s not to love about Mick Palmer? I’m really looking forward to filming these eight new episodes and reuniting with the brilliant Nina Singh. This new season is packed with drama, excitement, tension and surprises. I can’t wait to be back in Belfast, working alongside our wonderful production team again.

There is not a lot of information on the two-episode December episodes. Will this be holiday-themed? We can only assume that this is possible.

Acorn TV series like Madame Blanc and Harry Wild have offered holiday-themed super-sized episodes. We can assume that this will be the case again with this fantastic art-themed mystery series.

Art Detectives Season 1 is available to stream on Acorn TV. This is one of my top series for 2025. It comes highly recommended.

After years of waiting, Lifetime has announced that there will be two new Buried In Barstow movies starring Angie Harmon. She portrays former hit woman, turned waitress and diner shop owner Hazel King.

Best of all, they confirmed the return of Hallmark Hunk Kristoffer Polaha, who portrays love interest Elliot. This mysterious character turned out to be a former doctor who lost his career due to a tragedy.

in addition, Lauren Ashley Richards is back as Joy, Hazel’s daughter.

There are two new people added to the cast. Firstly, Megan Follows, who was recently in The Way Home, portrays Zadie. She is described as “the enigmatic matriarch of a powerful construction family whose interests in Barstow soon intersect with Hazel’s in increasingly dangerous ways.”

Lastly, Finley Sehorn, Angie Harmon’s daughter, is set to portrays young Hazel.

Many fan-favorites are back including Kimberley Sustad, Chris McNally, Rhiannon Fish, Daniel Lissing, and the very unexpected, but welcome reunion of Never Kiss A Man In A Christmas Sweater leads Ashley Williams and Niall Matter.

But there is more!

After a five year absence, Desperate Housewives alum Jesse Metcalfe is back! fans of his Martha’s Vineyard Mystery series and Chesapeake Shores have not seen him in a Hallmark Channel movie or series since 2021!

Next, Will Kemp is back. Fans of the Christmas Waltz star have not seen him in a Hallmark Channel movie or series since My Sweet Austrian Holiday with Brittany Bristow back in 2024!

Also, Aimee Teegarden is finally back. The Friday Night Lights star was last on Hallmark in An Easter Bloom back in 2024.

Lastly, Torrey DeVitto is back after taking a break to be a mom and a return to Chicago Med. The last time Hallmark viewers saw her on the feel-good network was in the 2023 romcom, Love’s Greek To Me.

Although the network has not shared what the new August romcoms are called or if they will continue the Summer Nights theme, these movies will take viewers to Italy and Australia, as well as the concert stage, and the reimagining of a classic tale by The Bard. There is even a movie with a mystery man.

Here they are!

“A TV director returns to her theater roots for a Shakespeare festival and runs into an old flame, rekindling a merry war of wits in this modern retelling of Much Ado About Nothing.”

This looks like a fun lineup of August movies, albeit, it is disappointing that there is zero diversity.

Hallmark fans, what do you think of this lineup?

Even before You’re Killing Me Season 1 completed airing Season 1 on Acorn TV, AMC Global Media announced that the mystery series is returning for Season 2!

Yes, the Acorn TV mystery series with loads of Hallmark DNA is returning. So are Brooke Shields, Amalia Williamson, and Tom Cavanagh.

The network announced that the “Series makes history as Acorn TV’s #1 series launch of ALL TIME in subscriber acquisition and viewership.”

Furthermore, this hit series still has new episodes dropping every Monday in June until the thrilling finale on June 22.

You’re Killing Me Starring Brooke Shields Back For Season 2

Sleuthers who have waited a long time for Brooke Shields to star in another mystery are getting another season of the new Acorn TV mystery series You’re Killing Me.

You’re Killing Me features bestselling novelist Allie (Shields), who lives in the small, New England town of Founder’s Cove. Allie forms an unlikely alliance with an aspiring writer and podcaster Andi (Williamson), who could be her daughter.

Allie reluctantly works with Andi to find the killer of a close friend. It seems that although they come from different generations, their two talents combine to be one fantastic detective duo.

Cavanagh stars as Jack, the new lead detective of the local Police Department. He and Allie have some moments, as this former city slicker tries to adjust himself to the nuances of Founder’s Cove.

Dan McDermott, Chief Content Officer for AMC Global Media and President of AMC Studios shared why this series has delighted their mystery-loving audience.

You’re Killing Me has quickly become a breakout hit for Acorn TV – a series that blends sharp storytelling and irresistible twists, with Brooke’s singular presence at the center of it all

Furthermore, he hinted at what is to come in Season 2. “We look forward to expanding the world she’s helped create, alongside the wonderful Robin Bernheim, for another season of this highly entertaining and bingeable new show, which has made history with Acorn TV’s deeply passionate and engaged audience as the platform’s #1 series launch of all time.”

Later this year, they plan to film the second season. Like the first, there will be six episodes, each about 45 minutes long.

Moreover, they are bringing back series creator Robin Bernheim. Sleuthers know her work at Hallmark and a very big mystery series for the feel-good network.

Acorn TV Mystery Series Has Hallmark DNA

Fans of Hallmark mysteries love Brooke Shields in the network’s popular Flower Shop Mysteries series. Furthermore, they also love Tom Cavanagh in Darrow & Darrow, as well as his supporting role in third mystery of the Mistletoe Murders Season 1 mysteries.

Therefore, it makes sense that so many Sleuthers are talking about You’re Killing Me. It is a lot like The Spencer Sisters, starring Lea Thompson and Stacey Faber, which is currently streaming on Hallmark+.

But, another reason that Sleuthers are flocking to Acorn TV may be subliminal. That is because all three writers for You’re Killing Me have worked with Hallmark on some very popular series.

Firstly, Robin Bernheim is the creator of this series. She has worked with Brooke Shields in the Netflix movie Mother Of The Bride. She has also been EP on such popular Netflix movies as all three Princess Switch movies, as well as producer for Star Trek Voyager.

Furthermore, Robin previously worked as the showrunner for When Calls The Heart, a series that Brooke Shields has also guest starred on.

But most importantly, Bernheim’s greatest mystery claim to fame is Mystery 101. She created the characters of Amy and Travis that are so beloved to fans. John Christian Plummer wrote the scripts based on these characters.

Robin Berneheim created this series for Brooke Shields.

Speaking of When Calls The Heart, longtime writer for this Hallmark series also wrote two episodes of You’re Killing Me Season 1.

Lastly, Phoef Sutton may be known for Cheers, but he was a showrunner for Chesapeake Shores. Most importantly, he created and wrote the beloved Darrow & Darrow starring Kimberly Williams-Paisley, Tom Cavanagh, and Wendie Malick.

Therefore, the DNA of this series is very Hallmark. They brought together two stars from two beloved mystery series and created a blockbuster Acorn TV hit.

If you have not watched You’re Killing Me, make sure to subscribe to Acorn TV. There is a cornucopia of fantastic cozy mystery series that will entertain you all summer.
