Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Looks like another great weekend with lots of excellent viewing options. I sure hope Romance at Hope Ranch is as good as it looks, and the new When Calls the Heart, with memories shared of Jack, looks like it will be so special and heartwarming. I've written up some reviews of the movies I've watched recently, so I'll try to get those posted on Saturday. (Monday at the latest.)

If you'd like to share a review for the new movies airing this weekend or anything else, please share in comments.

Always wanted to say... I'm so sorry I was recently behind in submitting and responding to comments. My family has been passing around a cold, and it was my turn (lucky me!) to get it on Wednesday. So, over the last few days, I haven't been feeling up to being on the computer much. I hear the cold and flu have been going around a lot. Have any of you had it too?


Take care, everyone!
Blessings to you all,
Net

Hallmark Channel’s March 2026 Movie Premieres




The Hallmark Channel has revealed their new movie lineup for March, 2026!

The schedule includes romance, mystery, and the return of Actress Jen Lilley!

See all of the details for what's airing this March...



******************





Sugar & Vice: A Hannah Swensen Mystery

Saturday March 7 8/7c

Hannah finds a body at the grand re-opening of the Lake Eden Inn. When a storm traps everyone inside, Hannah must find the culprit before the road clears and the killer escapes.

Stars Alison Sweeney, Victor Webster, Barbara Niven

Movie Reviews:

🎬 Yes, "Sugar & Vice: A Hannah Swensen Mystery," is clean. There is a discussion of a married man having an affair with a female employee but nothing is shown. I think all of the Hallmark Mysteries series and all Murder She Baked/Hannah Swensen episodes have affairs brought to light as part of the mystery storyline. Otherwise all eps are clean and family friendly(at least as family friendly as murder can be). ~Anonymous

🎬 Just watched the Hannah Swenson Mystery: Sugar and Vice. It was my favorite out of the rebrand movies, family friendly, and the costumes were incredible!! The plot was pretty good too and Hannah and Chad were sweet together. And Delores was funny with her own interrogation. ~Abigail


******************






Nelly Knows Mysteries: All Manners of Murder

Premiere Date: Saturday, March 14, 8/7c

Starring: Pascale Hutton and Kavan Smith

Storyline: Nelly and Detective Michael set out to solve the murder of a guest while at a lavish dinner.

Movie Reviews:

🎬 The new Nelly Knows Mystery: All Manners of Murder is super fun. Pascale & Kavan are great, as usual. ~Allie B

🎬 Nelly Knows Mystery: All Manners of Murder review.

This mystery was soooo much fun! I loved how Nelly and Michael were a team and was known to the other that they liked each other. Had the Clue game feeling and who doesn’t love hidden passageways!!! Plus fam-friendly!! Good who dun it as well!! And was neat combining different shows together. What a blast!! ~Abigail

🎬 Also really loved the Nellys Knows Mystery! I think Pascale is an amazing actress. And even though she is my favorite on WCTH, I can forget she is "Rosemary" in her movies--I think that says a lot! Kavan too, they are such a great pair on both shows. ~Lizzy R.

🎬 I was finally able to watch the Nelly Knows Mysteries new movie from a few weeks ago. I was pleasantly surprised! I really enjoyed this one, as the first was kind of hard to get into because of Pascal’s silly attitude. In this new movie she was much more calm, and it’s always such a treat to see familiar faces in the supporting cast. ~Paula

🎬 Nelly Knows Mysteries: All Manners of Murder – Once again, I thoroughly enjoyed Pascale Hutton and Kavan Smith together as Nelly Parker and Detective Michael Hogan. Their chemistry on screen is always magical! This movie was particularly interesting with a murder-mystery dinner party – including a fascinating group of people making up the ensemble cast of suspects that I recognized easily from former Hallmark moves. It was quite interesting to guess who-dun-it, and while I fihured the right culprit, it was still fun watching Nelly and Michael piece it all together.

It’s a cozy, family-friendly sort of mystery, but even though it’s not graphic like most crime dramas, there’s still a murder, so it’s best suited for mature preteen age and up. ~Net

Two for Tee

Saturday March 21 8/7c

*CLICK HERE* FOR MORE PICTURES AND ALL OF THE SPRING INTO LOVE MOVIE PREMIERES COMING IN MARCH and APRIL!


******************




I hope you'll discover a new movie you will enjoy this March! It's nice to see Jen Lilley will be in a new rom-com, but it will be different to see her on Hallmark again. She'll be reuniting in this new royal-themed movie with Dan Jeannotte. Their first movie together was Paris, Wine & Romance in 2019.

It's also fun to see the new mysteries coming in March! I hope there will be many sleuthing opportunities throughout the year!

Happy movie watching, everyone!
