BEVERLY HILLS, CA – July 27, 2017 – Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, the premiere television destination for thrilling mysteries, will present a slate of new, original world premiere movies for its upcoming program schedule. Cable television’s fastest-growing network unveiled plans for new movie installments of its returning popular mystery franchises, along with two newly developed deals: one with Al Roker (“Today”) that stars Holly Robinson Peete (“Chicago Fire,” “Angel of Christmas”) and one with crisis management expert, Judy Smith. The announcement was made today as part of Crown Media Family Networks’ bi-annual TV Critics Association Press Tour.
Viewers will be treated to more of their favorite mysteries with new installments of “Garage Sale Mystery” starring Lori Loughlin (“Fuller House”); “Aurora Teagarden” starring Candace Cameron Bure (“Fuller House”) and Marilu Henner (“Taxi”); “Gourmet Detective” starring Dylan Neal (Fifty Shades of Grey) and Brooke Burns (“The Chase”); “Signed, Sealed, Delivered” starring Eric Mabius (“Ugly Betty”), Kristin Booth (“Orphan Black”), Crystal Lowe (“Primeval: New
World”) and Geoff Gustafson (“Rogue”); “Hailey Dean Mysteries” starring Kellie Martin (“ER,” “The Guest Book”) and “Fixer Upper Mysteries” starring Grammy Award nominee Jewel and Colin Ferguson (“The Vampire Diaries”).Building on these audience favorites, Hallmark Movies & Mysteries will release new, original world premieres. These highly anticipated mysteries include “Darrow & Darrow” (working title) from Emmy Award ® Winner Phoef Sutton (“Cheers,” “Boston Legal”) starring Kimberly Williams-Paisley (“Father of the Bride”), Tom Cavanagh (“The Flash,” “Ed”) and Wendie Malick (“Hot in Cleveland”) and “The Midnight Show Murders,” based on the book penned by Al Roker and Dick Lochte, which will star Holly Robinson Peete. Also new to the network is the original world premiere movie “The Adjuster,” which is loosely based on the real-life experiences and professional work of Judy Smith, crisis management expert and inspiration for the TV series “Scandal.”
Viewers have made Hallmark Movies & Mysteries the home for mysteries on cable television, as reflected in a raise in ratings continuing in 2017. The second quarter of 2017 tied the fourth quarter of 2016 as the network’s highest quarter ever among Total Day HH delivery, and the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Original Movie Premieres during that quarter were up year over year by +59% among W25-54. Most recently, June 2017 became the network’s highest June in history among Total Day HH, W18-49, A18-49, A25-54, and Total Viewer delivery, and became Hallmark Movies & Mysteries’ second highest month ever behind an astronomical December 2016 among Total Day HH delivery.*
“Our viewers have really responded to the suspense, sleuthing and thrills in our original movies, and we are excited to deliver even more high quality mystery content through the rest of the year and in to 2018,” said Michelle Vicary, Executive Vice President, Programming and Network Publicity, Crown Media Family Networks. “We know they will love the new installments of their favorite franchises and are confident that they’ll embrace the new mysteries we have in store.”
What do you think? Are you a fan of the Signed, Sealed, Delivered movies? Are you glad there’ll be more?
I enjoy all the different series on Hallmark especially Hallmark Movies and Mysteries. My favourites are Signed Sealed Delivered, Garage Sale Mysteries and Murder She Baked. Thank you for the wholesome family viewing. You provide stories with a meaning while also being inspirational based on morals and values that I grew up with. I’m in my mid 60’s and finding entertaining television to watch can be a challenge. The Hallmark channel has certainly met my needs. Please keep them coming. From a dedicated Canadian fan.
I love Sign Sealed Delivered. I look forward to ever show. This show is full of life, love, fun and most of all it is spiritually based. It shows the power if God. The ups and the downs. I hate the series ended. I am glad they continue to make the sparatic shows. I am always on edge waiting and searching for the next show. I also share the love of the show with my Mom. They just get better with time.
Thank you. Keep them coming.
I am elated that Signed, Sealed, Delivered is returning for another season! I hope it will continue to thrive.
Where’s Murder She Baked???…please do not scrap it!!! …but thank you sooo much for Signed, Sealed, Delivered…the most inspirational Hallmark has ever made!!! Can’t wait for It’s return!!!
Than you, thank you, thank you, for the 2017-18 season of Signed Sealed Delivered series.
I love the cast and can’t wait to see where the season leads.
I am thrilled to hear that Signed Sealed Delivered is back. There are very few shows that are so inspiring and filled with the Love of the Lord. Just a wonderful show. Wish they could make it compulsive viewing at schools.
Very pleased to see tbat SSD will continue as it is such an enjoyable series with good morals suitable for the whole family. The acting is brilliant and stories so uplifting that they really touch the heart. Congratulations Hallmark. Keep up the great work you do.
This is the best show ever -besides good witch. I can’t wait for it to start for 2017-2018 season .keep showing this series
I am so glad to hear my favorite movie series Signed Sealed Delivered is back I hope there will be a Christmas movie bring that’s a Christian Holiday it is inspiring and Peaceful Jesus Love comes shining through Thank you Hallmark for such an example of morals values we hold dear
Glad to hear the show will return. TV executives are too quick pulling shows from TV these days either before they have a chance to get traction or before viewers have lost interest. I understand you have to satisfy you commercial clients but they expect too much too soon in the area of results.
Thank you Hallmark for making a wise decision to bring back a very pleasant loving wholesome movie series. It would make me even happier if you would bring the series back and not just movies. Some of your other movies all with the theme of murder and dying tha is kind of depressing. I love the hopeful loving theme that Sign Sealed Delivered movies are.
Thank you for such a marvelous program. I have enjoyed Hallmark for years but Signed, Sealed, and Delivered is my absolute favorite.
I have really missed the movies, Signed, Sealed, Delivered: Hallmark Movies. They are so refreshing – great stories with great morals and great acting plus being clean and no bad language or situations. Thank you to Hallmark Channel and to Martha Williamson! You go, girl!!
Signed, Sealed Delivered is one of my favorite on Hallmark. So glad it will continue. I’m hoping Cheasapeak Shores will return also Thank you for such wonderful movies! It is the best channel of all of tv
As a Christian, I love this franchise! thank you so much! Reminds me of my younger years in the 50’s.
I so agree. I enjoy the spiritual portions as well. Good and clean humor.
