"Hannah Swensen" and "County Rescue" Are Back with a Fresh Batch of Mystery and Medical Drama

( click here to enlarge image )

Happy mid-May weekend, everyone! Check out what's on the menu this weekend!

The Hallmark Channel is serving up an all-new helping of suspense with Best Served Cold: A Hannah Swensen Mystery, where Hannah is once again mixing together her baked desserts and small-town sleuthing!

Meanwhile, over on Great American Family, the medical drama County Rescue returns with its Season Three premiere. Filled with faith, courage, and heartfelt moments, the series continues to follow dedicated first responders as they face personal challenges and their calling to serve others.

🚨Note: I watched the first episode of County Rescue early on Great American Pure Flix, and just wanted to share that due to the intensity of some medical issues and life-saving emergencies, County Rescue is (in my opinion) best suited for mature preteen age and up. This premiere episode is 1 hour and 30 minutes long (with commercials). It's intense and emotional, but also inspiring to see how these close friends, even when times are tough, care for and lean on each other.

☀️ SHINING HIS LIGHT: ☀️

'For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

~Matthew 25: 35-40

Great American Family June 2026 Movie Premiere "Meet Me in the Margins" - See Poster, Plot, and Preview

 ( image: Great American Media ) 

Meet Me in the Margins

Premiere Date: June 13, 2026 on Great American Family

Starring: Merritt Patterson and Liam McIntyre

Storyline: Savannah Cade, a quietly brilliant editor at a prestigious publishing house, secretly dreams of becoming a romance novelist, until her hidden manuscript is discovered and anonymously critiqued in the margins. As mysterious notes push her to rewrite both her book and her own tendency to stay silent, Savannah must decide whether to protect her career or finally speak up for the stories, and herself, that matter most. What begins as a professional risk slowly becomes a transformative love story about courage, creativity, and being seen.

*Adapted from the book, Meet Me in the Margins, by author Melissa Ferguson, who is also an executive producer.

I hope you'll enjoy this new premiere in June - one month from today!

To Be Or Not To Be... New Hallmark Movie Filming with Shakespeare Theme

Well, look what’s rolled into London, Ontario! Local buzz is growing as a new article from the London Free Press reports that a Hallmark Channel production crew has officially arrived in town for their latest movie shoot.

According to the article, the film currently in production for Hallmark is titled Nothing But Love.

Earlier this year, it was announced that Ashley Williams would star in a project with that very title.

IMDb states that the story is an adaptation of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing and will feature Ashley Williams alongside Paul Braunstein, Lindura, Jennifer Dale, and more.

I'm not yet certain when this movie will air on the schedule. Could Nothing But Love be part of Hallmark Channel’s lineup later this Summer or Fall? We’ll have to wait and see.

Happy movie watching,

💐 Celebrate Mother’s Day Weekend with Movies, Mysteries, and the Must-See "When Hope Calls: Brookfield" Finale

( images: Great American Media / edit: itsawonderfulmovie.com )

Happy Mother's Day Weekend, Friends!

To all the wonderful mommas, grandmothers, and mother figures out there- thank you for the love, wisdom, and care you give so selflessly. Wishing you all a beautiful, joy-filled, and very Happy Mother’s Day!

If you'd like to watch something special with your family on Mother's Day, the "When Hope Calls: Brookfield" finale episode airs this Sunday night on Great American Family! After a season filled with tender moments, quiet longing, and a few unexpected surprises, all eyes are on Brookfield as some of our favorite stories reach what could be life-changing turning points. Will Mountie Michael and Nora finally find the courage to speak the feelings that have been building between them, or will Michael’s duty as a Mountie pull him away from Brookfield just when love seems within reach? And for Hannah and Wyatt or Sam and Maggie, what lies ahead for them... romance, heartache, or perhaps a little drama before the credits roll? However it unfolds, this finale promises plenty of heart, hope, and maybe even a few surprises along the way.

There's also a new Hallmark Channel movie, All’s Fair in Love & Mahjong, premiering this Saturday. I wanted to note that the film has faced a bit of backlash from some critics for focusing the story on a traditional Chinese game while featuring only one actress of Asian heritage in a supporting role. I would love to know what you all think. I'm not personally familiar with the game, but I know it is currently quite popular among people of all colors and ethnic backgrounds across the country. Please share your thoughts, and if you plan to watch in comments below.

"Sugarcreek Amish Mysteries" - My Review of Episode 3 - airing on UPtv

Hey, friends... I had the opportunity to watch an early screener of the third episode of "Sugarcreek Amish Mysteries" titled "O Little Town of Sugarcreek," and I just had to share that this episode was my favorite one yet!

No spoilers, I promise, but here are a few (or more!) of my favorite details...

⚫ First, these mysteries (so far) are simple mysteries within the town of Sugarcreek that do not involve murder. This episode is about missing jewelry.

⚫ While we've seen Cheryl Cooper's adorable cat, Beau, before, he makes more of an appearance in this episode.

⚫ This series is definitely giving me vibes of the Hallmark series, Mistletoe Murders - the lead women in both series have red hair, and they both own a small store within a quaint town that sells small gifts, knick-knacks, home decor, etc. Both women have cats and employ a teenage girl related to their supposed love interest, and their love interests often help to solve mysteries.

⚫ In this episode of "Sugarcreek Amish Mysteries," there's a bit of a romantic love triangle when Cheryl's ex, Lance, makes a surprise visit!

⚫ And best of all, for this episode, which you might be able to tell from the title, "O Little Town of Sugarcreek," is centered around the Christmas season! It's interesting to see how this quaint Amish town celebrates the holiday; it's even mentioned that their main focus is to celebrate the birth of their Lord!

Storyline via UPtv: Christmas thefts and a returned ex force Cheryl to protect an innocent friend and her heart.

Here's a little sneak-peek:

Sugarcreek Amish Mysteries

airs Thursday, May 7, 2026

at 9pm/8c. on UPtv

ABOUT HOPE VALLEY: 1874

The series explores the earliest days of the frontier settlement that later became Hope Valley, chronicling the courage, resilience and relationships that laid the foundation for the close-knit town viewers have come to love. Lenz portrays Rebecca Clarke, a recent widow who travels with her 11-year-old daughter Sarah (Morgan) to the Western Canadian frontier to escape a threat back home and make a fresh start following her husband’s death. When she discovers the boarding house she purchased sight unseen needed extensive renovations, Rebecca faced a tougher road ahead than she had imagined. Thanks to the fledgling community that embraces them – including local rancher and confirmed bachelor Tom Moore (Ayres), with whom she becomes close, and Hattie Quinn (Hennessy), a widow herself who runs the trading post with the help of her daughter Olivia (Curtis) – Rebecca and Sarah become an intrinsic part of the settlement and they begin to find their way. Helping keep the peace between the ranchers and gold prospectors who are at odds with each other is Constable Alexander Vaughn (Quarmby), who becomes smitten with Olivia, much to the dismay of local blacksmith Clayton Cooley (Goodacre), who has long harbored feelings for her. As the season comes to a close a sudden turn of events leaves their futures uncertain.

Hope Valley: 1874 is from All Canadian Entertainment production company. Executive producers of the series include Brad Krevoy, Brian Bird, Michael Landon Jr., Amy Hartwick, Olivia Krevoy, Vicki Sotheran, Greg Malcolm, Alfonso Moreno and Susie Belzberg.

Did You Miss *America Reads the Bible* or Want to Relive the Blessing — See Details Here:

Last week, the America Reads the Bible event unfolded in a truly beautiful way in Washington, D.C., as nearly 500 voices came together at the Museum of the Bible to read God’s Holy Word aloud.

It was a powerful and uplifting week, bringing together people from all walks of life... pastors and ministry leaders, current and former politicians, actors and actresses, Christian musicians and worship leaders, and so many others, all united in sharing the truth and light of Scripture.

It was especially meaningful to see familiar faces from Great American Family, the Hallmark Channel, and other networks take part, using their voices to honor the Lord. I so enjoyed every moment I was able to watch, along with my family, but of course we were in and out during the week - with work, errands, etc... so it's been nice to go back and catch any of the ones we missed.

If you happened to miss any of this inspiring event and would like to see it for yourself, you can watch it FREE through Great American Pure Flix - click here to watch.

What a blessing it was to see God’s Word proclaimed so boldly; I pray it blesses you as it has me and so many others who watched throughout the week!
