Fantastic news today from Great American Pure Flix and Deadline, Carlos and Alexa PenaVega will star in their FIRST film for Great American Pure Flix titled: "Mr. Manhattan."
The movie will be available on the Great American Pure Flix streaming service on May 24, 2024. There is no word yet on whether it will eventually air on Great American Family, but that is my hope for those of you who do not have this streaming service.

"Mr. Manhattan" Storyline: Mason Bradley (Carlos PenaVega) makes a promise to his brother and sister-in-law to be godfather to their newborn son (and future children). Mason has exciting news of his own: he’s just been accepted to Columbia Law School, which comes as a shock to his fiancé(e), Dani (Alexa PenaVega). Ten years on, Mason is surround by big city life and obsessed with becoming partner in his firm. He and Dani have broken up. Just when Mason feels personal success is at hand, he receives an unimaginable call. His brother and sister-in-law have tragically been killed in a car accident. Mason is now a single father with two children.
Of course, this is not the first time Carlos and Alexa PenaVega, this real-life married couple (and parents to three children and one on the way any day!), have starred in a movie together. The two have starred in Enchanted Christmas, Love at Sea, three Picture Perfect Mysteries, Love in the Limelight, Never to Late to Celebrate, and other projects!
Carlos PenaVega shared the "Mr. Manhattan" movie news on his Instagram page with the comment:
"We are so excited for this one and all that we have coming up with you guys! What a team! 👏🔥🔥❤️❤️"
So... that sounds promising that more projects are in the works with Carlos & Alexa with Great American Pure Flix, and perhaps, Great American Family!
In fact, Bill Abbott, President & CEO, Great American Media, shared this exciting tid-bit in the Deadline article, “Carlos and Alexa are audience favorites and so beloved for their commitment to family on and off the screen, which is the foundation of Mr. Manhattan. And we are excited about a number of additional projects in development with these two enormously talented actors.”
Candace Cameron Bure responded to this movie news with great support:
"It’s a good one! You’re gonna enjoy it!!!
Great American Family also responded with 3 emojis: 👏❤️🎬
In other Great American Family movie news, Danica McKellar posted yesterday on her social media that she will be filming her Great American Christmas movie soon with the image below...
Be sure to enlarge the image above to see the almost hidden text in the leather-bound notebook. Since Danica specifically pointed to the message, "God is in the details," I'm hoping this means her upcoming Christmas movie this year on Great American Family will be faith-filled. We'll have to wait and see.
Such exciting, wonderful things are happening at Great American Media!
Have a Wonderful Day, Everyone!
God's Blessings,

I just this on IG, too! Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteIncredible news!! -Maria
ReplyDeleteCarlos and Alexa and their sweet family are adorable. I love that they are not afraid to speak about their religious beliefs. Their strong faith is a testament to who they are as people.
ReplyDeleteAmen to that, Joan! I think they would fit in perfectly at Great American Family.👏👏
DeleteThese movies sound wonderful. I really appreciate your blog and all the information you share about all the upcoming movies. Thanks and have a blessed day!
ReplyDeleteKaren, Oh, thank you sooo much! I appreciate you following here and sharing your thoughts with us.
DeleteBlessings to you, as well! Net
This is wonderful news! I really love my Pure Flix subscription and have been watching it even more while movies are taking a break on GAF. I hope Carlos and Alexa make movies for Great American Family too. I think they would be a great fit for GAF!
ReplyDeleteblessedgig23 - I couldn't agree more! These two will fit in wonderfully at this network - filled with faith and family! I hope they know we are all welcoming them with open arms! :)
DeleteBy the way, I also love Great American Pure Flix! I just recently renewed my subscription, and I'm loving all the movies/series there. Such a blessing to have!
Always good to hear from you - and your wonderful support of Great American Family/Media!!! :)
Blessings, Net
What movies did you enjoy the best with Alexa and Carlos PenaVega?
ReplyDeleteChris, I personally love most of Alexa & Carlos' movies together. My absolute favorites are: Love at Seaand the Picture Perfect Mysteries.
DeleteDo you have favorites with them, as well?
Blessings, Net
Probably Enchanted Christmas
DeleteChris, That's also a great one! I especially love their dance together at the end.
DeleteAlways Loved Them! I’m so happy to see Carlos and Alexa do a movie with Great American Pure Flix! If only we could get this on Great American Family too.
ReplyDeleteThey are a precious couple! Lift the PenaVega's up in prayer. They lost their 4th child, Indy Rex PenaVega who was still born.

They will definitely see their 2nd daughter in Heaven.
I watched Mr. Manhattan and it was the best movie that I've seen in a while! When it is released on DVD I'm buying it.
DeleteI agree with Anonymous that this pair *is* a great fit for Great American Family, & GAPureflix.
I seriously love all of their movies, but I’m even more excited about this one since it was made for PureFlix. Congrats to the PenaVegas and Great American media.
ReplyDeleteCorrect the Gramnar
ReplyDeleteMason’s fiancé, Dani (Alexa PenaVega).
I notice article misspelled fiancé for man, not woman
Fiancé: Man
Fiancée: Woman
Fiancé: a man to whom someone is engaged to be married.
"my fiancé and I were childhood sweetheart
fiancée: a woman to whom someone is engaged to be married.
"he went back to the valley to marry his fiancée"
fiancé refers to a man who is engaged to be married, & fiancée refers to a woman.
Fiancée: Fiancee is a noun meaning wife-to-be. An engaged woman, someone who has an agreement to be married, is called a fiancee
Fiancé: Fiancé - Someone that has promised he will marry you, and you have accepted his proposal. Boyfriend - A guy that you have a romantic relationship with.
Thank you for mentioning this. I also believe in using proper grammar.
DeleteThe storyline above is from the press release directly from Great American Media. I think the spelling of Fiance has become a gender-neutral term, but I personally prefer to use correct terms/spelling when referring to men and women. I have added the extra *e* above in parenthesis, since the press release is from the network.
Blessings, Net
Don't be rude--as a result, I feel the need to point out that you misspelled grammar as gramnar.
DeleteAgreed! Thank you for stating what many of us probably were thinking- It made me laugh to see 'gramnar', after the person gave us a 'grammar' lesson. =D I think with all the craziness swirling around the world these days, it would be extra lovely spreading sunshine and blessings rather than a (kind of high brow) lengthy lesson on the proper words to use. Besides, despite our best efforts, sometimes the dreaded typos and autocorrect still happen. And Net, good job, you handled it just beautifully! Extra hugs for you today! And blessings to you all!
DeleteWhen Mr. Manhattan will gonna air on GAFAM after Great American PureFlix?
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, we don't know, yet. I'm hoping! :)
DeleteAlexa and Carlos PenaVega have shared with their followers some very, very sad news today. They have lost their infant baby girl, Indy Rex. (I thought those of you who don't have social media would want to know.)
ReplyDeleteMy heart is breaking for Alexa and Carlos and their children, Ocean, Kingston, and Rio - as I'm lifting them all up in prayer. We know Indy Rex is in the arms of Jesus now and they will all be reunited one day.
I wanted to share this with all of you - so you would be lifting the PenaVega family up in prayer during this difficult time.

Praying for their comfort and peace. 🙏

I heard from her Twitter soon after she posted it. :((((( -Maria
DeleteOh no! That poor family! They will be in my prayers of course. Praying God will use this time to draw them closer to Him. Do you know if it was a miscarriage or after delivery?
ReplyDeleteAbigail, According to their statement, it says the baby was born "at rest". I know Alexa has had some complications with this pregnancy since their move to Tennessee from Hawaii.
DeleteI know many pray warriors are lifting them up now. They have certainly been on my heart and in my prayers continually since I read this sad news. I know they are Christ followers and I pray this draws them even closer to Him.
Danica is filming A Royal Christmas Ball; the one she originally said she was filming for last year.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes... I recall Danica saying this movie was postponed last year. There was even an article about it last October on Movieguide.
DeleteI've seen "Royal Christmas Ball" listed in various production notes, and I'm hoping this is Danica's movie. She's said that her upcoming Christmas movie project has been in-the-making for awhile, so it's sounding like this is the year for it! Have you, by chance, seen an actual confirmation somewhere?
Thank you for sharing! :)
Blessings, Net
just the production lists that you've seen, but Marcy Holland is the writer for RC Ball, so that kind of sealed it for me.
DeletePrayers for them! May God comfort them.
ReplyDeleteNet,
ReplyDeleteI heard this extremely sad news as well. They are such amazing people and my heart also breaks for their entire close knit family. I follow both of them on Instagram and I knew Alexa was experiencing some difficulties this time. I also said some prayers for them. I hated hearing about this. They are exceptional parents and were so excited about adding to their lovely family. Thank you for sharing. I wish the outcome could have been different. As a mother myself, I can't imagine going through a stillbirth. 🙏 You are right. Indy is an angel in heaven.
Oh, no. I'm so very sorry to hear this. I know the body of Christ will be covering this family in prayer.
ReplyDeleteEven though this was sad news to hear, I thank you for sharing this. I don’t have Facebook or twitter, but I will be praying for them.
ReplyDeletePrayers going up. It was nice to see many Great American Family actors on IG share condolences with Alexa and Carlos.
ReplyDeleteOur prayers are going up for Alexa and Carlos PenaVega. So sorry to hear about their loss. Praying God will comfort and strengthen them and their family.
ReplyDeleteprayers for their family. so very sad.
