Great News for UP Faith & Family Streaming Series "Blue Skies"

Have you heard the exciting news, sleuthers! The UP Faith & Family series "Blue Skies" has been renewed for a second season!

Get the full scoop in the press release via UP Entertainment below...

NEW UP FAITH & FAMILY

ORIGINAL DRAMA SERIES

BLUE SKIES RENEWED

FOR A SECOND SEASON

ATLANTA (April 9, 2026) – UP Faith & Family, the leading streaming service for uplifting movies and series, has greenlit season two of the hit series Blue Skies. Blue Skies is an all-new procedural series that blends mystery and action with emotional storytelling and the heartwarming bond between a detective and her canine companion. Viewers can stream season one of the series on UP Faith & Family now.

“The response to Blue Skies in its first season has been incredibly rewarding,” said Philip Manwaring, CEO, UP Entertainment. “Viewers have connected with the mysteries, the stories of redemption and growth, the relationships among colleagues and family, and, of course, the always-lovable ‘Blue’. We’re excited to return to Crystal Ridge with even bigger adventures, deeper relationships and new cases that continue to deliver the uplifting, family-friendly storytelling that’s at the core of everything we do here at UP.”

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Crystal Ridge National Park, Blue Skies follows former military police officer Jodi Larsen as she returns to her hometown to start over as a criminal investigator for the National Park Police. Driven by a love of the outdoors and a deep sense of justice, Jodi is determined to protect the park, its visitors and her community, whether from natural dangers or human threats. But Jodi’s fresh start is anything but simple. She’s navigating a new team and a journey to reconnect with her father after her mother passed away while she was deployed. Her unexpected partner? A mischievous stray Labrador named Blue, whose instincts prove sharper than most trained K9s.

Each episode of Blue Skies combines suspense and unexpected turns with heartwarming moments as Jodi and her team tackle missing persons, environmental crimes and the secrets hidden deep within the park’s 5,000 square miles.

Season two will build on the stories and characters from the first season, including returning cast members Scarlet Hunter as Detective Jodi Larsen, Markian Tarasiuk (Mistletoe Connection, Virgin River) as Ryan Miller, Veronica Long (The Wrong Paris) as Detective Nora Esposito, David Lennon (Untamed) as Detective Alex Meeks, Darius Willis as Tyson Bernard and Shaughnessy Redden as Bill Larsen. Together, the team will tackle a whole new range of cases, their bond strengthening as a shadowy menace looms, threatening life well beyond the park borders.

Blue Skies is produced by Bar None Productions in association with Kino Media and Larry Levinson Productions. Producers are Benjamin Rappaport, Ross Mrazek and Amar Balaggan. Executive Producers are Larry Levinson, Mark Bacci and Charles Segars. Writers include Zach Grossman, Fernando Viso, Mark Millner and Jordan McCray.

🎄✨ Another Lead Actor Spotted On Set of Laura Osnes' Christmas Movie

There's more exciting news straight from the set of Laura Osnes’ upcoming festive Christmas movie, which is currently filming!

I recently mentioned in a post that Laura Osnes (of Just in Time) was working alongside actor and singer Chuck Wicks, but now there’s an intriguing new development- another leading man has been spotted on set!

Both Laura Osnes and Brandon Clark (of Brandon Clark Films) shared some behind-the-scenes photos, tagging Ryan McPartlin (Double Scoop, The Flight Before Christmas). Of course, this has sparked my curiosity!

It certainly makes one wonder what roles Ryan and Chuck will play in the story. Could a charming love triangle be in the works? It’s too soon to say for sure, but one thing is certain- this is the first movie for both Ryan McPartlin and Chuck Wicks with Great American Family, which only adds to the excitement!

Stay tuned for more info! With Chuck and Laura singing and another leading man in the mix, this Christmas movie, originally titled: Silver Bells Christmas, is already sounding like one to watch!

Great American Media posted news today for the new lifestyle series, “Jep & Jess: Beyond the Bayou.”

Many of you will likely remember Jep and Jessica Robertson from the reality show, "Duck Dynasty." Jep and Jessica also had cameo roles in the Great American Family Christmas movie, "Have We Met This Christmas?," which starred Danica McKellar and Jesse Hutch.

Check out details on their new series - coming this year to Great American Family and Great American Pure Flix...


Press Release via Great American Media:

Production Begins on

Jep & Jess: Beyond the Bayou,

A Defining Unscripted 

Original Series

for Great American Media

NEW YORK, NY – April 7, 2026 – Cameras are officially rolling on “Jep & Jess: Beyond the Bayou,” marking the start of production on what is poised to become a landmark unscripted series for Great American Media.

Starring two of the country most influential and faith-driven voices, Jep Robertson and Jessica Robertson, the new Original Lifestyle Series follows the couple as they step into an entirely new chapter – building out not only neighborhoods, but a thriving Comanche Moon Ranch community rooted in purpose and legacy and viewers will witness firsthand how vision, hard work, and conviction can transform land into legacy – and neighbors into family.

“Great American Media’s has become one of the most beloved viewing destinations in just five short years – a credit to our unwavering commitment to quality and purpose-driven storytelling – building a trusted brand and one of the industry’s fastest-growing libraries,” said Kaitlyn Haubrich, Chief Brand Officer & Chief of Staff, Great American Media. “This strength and momentum allows us to invest in new genres of storytelling while staying true to the values that define us, and to attract exceptional new voices like Jep and Jessica Robertson, whose authenticity, faith, and heart reflect the very best of our brand,” Haubrich concluded.

Leaving behind the Louisiana bayous that made them household names, Jep and Jessica are planting deeper roots in Texas – creating a gathering place designed to foster connection, craftsmanship, and meaningful living. From ranch development and community projects to moments of family and faith around the table, the series captures the real-life building of something enduring.

With production underway, “Jep & Jess: Beyond the Bayou” signals Great American Media’s continued expansion into premium unscripted programming that reflects its core values and its growing multi-platform ecosystem, from Great American Pure Flix, Great American Family, GFAM+, multiple fast channels, and more on the horizon.

As the Robertson’s build their new frontier, viewers will be inspired to build, serve, and strengthen the communities around them. “Jep & Jess: Beyond the Bayou” is slated to premiere later this year.

Please Note: UPtv will have a new movie premiere with Trevor Donovan, whom I know many of you here like, but I want to caution that this movie is rated PG-13 for violence, bloody images, and suggestive material. UPtv may or may not edit out some of this content. Viewer discretion is strongly advised on this movie. Please see a review from our friend, Abigail, below.

Movie Review:

🎬 Where the Wind Blows - Warning: You all know how much I love Trevor Donovan, but I have to warn you about this movie (Where the Wind Blows). I saw it a couple months ago and I was shocked how much needed to be skipped. It was very sexual. I won’t mention the scene for the sake of sparring you, but I would advise you to pass on this one. This is not a Christian film despite what they say. I was saddened and disgusted. Sorry, that was difficult for me to write, especially about Trevor, but I felt the need to tell you the truth. Many will be tempted like I was just seeing his name. ~Abigail

And I know some of you dear friends, who visit here, have family & friends celebrating, too... so a very Happy Birthday to all of them, too!

Easter is such a beautiful reminder of God’s incredible love... shown through His incredible sacrifice. When we turn to Him, we can find forgiveness, freedom, and the promise of eternal life. And if you feel it on your heart, I've included a prayer below if you'd like to invite Jesus into your life.

I pray you all have a

Blessed Easter

and Resurrection Sunday!

SHINING HIS LIGHT:

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die.”

~John 11:25-26

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.

~John 3:16-17

Prayer of Salvation:

For those of you who would like to know the full joy of receiving Jesus in your heart, I've included the prayer of salvation here for you...

(If you repeat these words and mean them in your heart, then you will be saved.)

"God, I know I am a sinner.

I believe Jesus was my substitute when He died on the Cross.

I believe His shed blood, death, burial, and resurrection were for me.

I now receive Jesus as my Savior.

Forgive me Lord of my sins.

I thank You for the the gift of salvation

and everlasting life, because of Your merciful grace.

In Jesus name, I pray...

Amen."

If you said that prayer for the first time, God bless you, fellow Sister or Brother in The Lord! I want to encourage you to seek God's word for direction in your life. He has ALL the answers you need. Jesus died and rose again for you, so live daily for Him!

Great American Family revealed today that Cameron Mathison's co-star for the Christmas movie he is filming right now is... Jill Wagner!

Did YOU get it right?

I almost did. Does that count? Nope. I said Danica McKellar, but I also mentioned it was really hard choosing between her and Jill Wagner because I love them both! Ugh... so close!

Anyway... so it's Jill and Cameron reuniting again! I personally loved them together in "A Merry Christmas Wish"! They had such great chemistry in that - it should be fun to see them paired once again.

See all the details for their new movie in Great American Media's press release:

Great American Media Sets 

An Accidental Arctic Christmas,

Reuniting Beloved Fan Favorites

Cameron Mathison and Jill Wagner,

From Executive Producer

Candace Cameron Bure

NEW YORK, NY – April 2, 2026 – Great American Media announced An Accidental Arctic Christmas, reuniting beloved Great American stars Cameron Mathison (Home Sweet Anniversary, A Merry Christmas Wish) and Jill Wagner (“Lioness,” A Merry Christmas Wish) premiering as part of the upcoming all-star Great American Christmas on Great American Pure Flix, Great American Family, and GFAM+.

“This year’s Great American Christmas represents a maturation of our business and the highest level of talent and storytelling we have ever brought to the screen. From beloved stars to richly layered stories, every film reflects our commitment to creative excellence. Our success as a business in the five years since launch has allowed us to reinvest in content that will yield our most compelling and complete Christmas slate to date and will be a true celebration of the reason for the season,” said Bill Abbott, President & CEO, Great American Media.

In An Accidental Arctic Christmas, single dad, Jim (Mathison) and his spirited, science-minded 20-year-old daughter, Isla (Maya Rose Skabar), share a tradition of alternating who decides how they spend Christmas each year. Jim, a former major league baseball player turned broadcaster, never misses hosting his annual Christmas Eve show from Times Square – until Isla persuades him to take a once-in-a-lifetime Arctic cruise, promising they will return in time for his broadcast.

When a timing mix-up leaves them stranded in an arctic town after their ship departs without them, their carefully planned holiday quickly turns into an unforgettable adventure. With no planes, trains, or automobiles available, they must rely on wildlife conservationist Jane (Wagner) and her rugged tundra buggy to navigate the frozen wilderness. As they journey through the awe-inspiring Arctic – from the glow of the Aurora Borealis to the famed Polar Bear Capital of the World—Isla embraces the glory of nature, Jim wrestles with letting go of control, and Jane brings heart and charm to the path forward.

This is Bure’s third film for the 2026 holiday lineup.
