Sleuthers, are you ready for Hallmark's first mystery movie premiere for 2024? This new film, True Justice: Family Ties, has an all-star cast, that includes veteran Hallmark stars, Nikki DeLoach and Benjamin Ayres, who will likely be joining forces to try to solve this all-new case. Just like last year, before Christmas, Hallmark Movies & Mysteries' new premieres will air on Friday nights at 9pm/8c. An encore presentation will air this Sunday night at 7pm/6c.
And even better news for all of us Sleuthers: a new Curious Caterer is currently filming, and a new Hannah Swensen will be filming soon! Usually, I wait to announce these films when the networks make official announcements, but these two working titles, Curious Caterer: Sticks and Scones and One Bad Apple: A Hannah Swensen Mystery are obviously headed to Hallmark Movies & Mysteries. I know many of us are wondering if Cameron Mathison will continue to star in the series as Detective Mike Kingston. Personally, I can't imagine the series without him, but for now, this is still a mystery.
Plus, if you're missing the deluge of Christmas movies night and day, the Hallmark Channel has a little treat for us beginning on Sunday! A marathon of Christmas movies will air ALL DAY on Martin Luther King Jr. Day - spanning Sunday night through Monday and ending early Tuesday.

On top of that, Bloom is pivoting to eco-friendly products and a wellness angle, so Jenny spends the seaside corporate retreat in Miami trying to capture the “life” in “work/life balance.” Her drive to achieve clashes with the chill vibe of activities director Nate.

I hope you all have a great weekend planned. Our temps are going to be dropping drastically, dangerously low, and we have some bad weather coming in - rain, high winds, and snow, possible blizzard-like conditions. Are any of you expecting a forecast like this, too? With weather like this coming our way, it looks like we'll be staying home this weekend and hoping and praying our power stays on.
If I get the chance, I'll be watching some movies I have recorded and want to catch up on, mostly Christmas, of course, and I'm hoping the new mystery is good, as well, because I've really been missing them. 9 out of 10 times I can usually spot the culprit, but trying to fit the puzzle pieces together is rather intriguing.
Please Note: I haven't pre-screened the new movies premiering this weekend. If you'd like to post a review on whether these films are family-friendly, please share in the comments below. Thank you so much to everyone who shares with us.
Keep warm and safe this weekend, everyone.
Blessings to You All!
