My Thoughts:

 

This is such exciting news! I couldn't wait to share it with all of you!

 

I received the Press Release (above) this morning, and was so thrilled to finally learn the third set of Mystery Movies coming next year to Hallmark Movies and Mysteries! (by the way, this is the new name, as of Oct. 1st, for the Hallmark Movie Channel)

 

A special "Thank You", also to Misty, for sharing this news, too, in the comments under Northpole 2! I know you love Hallmark Movies & Mysteries just as much as do! : )

 

I am delighted they have chosen Candace Cameron Bure to star in this news series... as she is one of my favorite actresses on Hallmark! Since she is already a member of the Hallmark family, I think she is a great choice to lead this new mystery series. Also, it is rather interesting, that her Full House co-star Lori Loughlin (Aunt Becky) will be also starring in one of the other mystery movie series "Garage Sale Mystery". (see the original post on the Hallmark Mystery franchise, here)

 

Hope you all enjoy this news, too!
