🔎 Our First Clue! 🔎 Hallmark Mystery's April 2025 Movie Premiere Revealed (with "When Calls the Heart" Connection!)

I'm expecting Hallmark Media to soon release details on the movies premiering in April on the Hallmark Channel, and I'm hoping one of them will be a DaySpring Easter-themed movie, but we'll have to wait and see! (We've had two movies in the last two years, The Blessing Bracelet in 2023 and An Easter Bloom in 2024.)

In the meantime, Hallmark has released details on its new mystery movie premiere coming to Hallmark Mystery this April. The film is "Aurora Teagarden Mysteries: A Lesson in Murder," which initially premiered on the streaming platform Hallmark+ on October 3, 2024.

This marks the second Hallmark Mystery premiere of the year, which originally debuted on Hallmark+. (The first movie to also do this was "The Jane Mysteries: A Deadly Prescription," which premiered in January.)


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


Movie Details:

Aurora Teagarden Mysteries: A Lesson in Murder

Premiere Date: Thursday, April 10 at 8/7c.

Starring: Skyler Samuels, Evan Roderick and Marilu Henner

Storyline: When a student from Aurora's true crime literature class is found murdered outside the diner where she works, Aurora takes it upon herself to figure out the real culprit.

Promo Video:



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

I'm trying to recall if anyone here reviewed this movie back in October. I checked the Streaming Movies Reviews page and didn't see a review there. Anyway, if any of you have seen it and would like to share a quick thought or review, please do so in comments below. (with no mystery spoilers, of course!)

The "When Calls the Heart" connection to this movie is Kavan Smith, who is pictured in a few photos above. It looks like he plays an interesting character named Ricky. Could he be the suspect???

Also, I've had several people ask me when we might see the next "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" movie installment that has already been filmed, "Signed, Sealed, Delivered: To the Moon and Back." Honestly, at this point, I don't know. With Eric Mabius' recent legal troubles and arrest, it might take a while before we see it. You might recall, it was years before "Garage Sale Mysteries" made its way back to Hallmark, after Lori Loughlin was indicted in the college admissions scandal, so it's hard to say what decision will be made here for "Signed, Sealed, Delivered." I think many fans are thinking this will likely be the end of this series. I'm hoping that's not the case and there can be some sort of redemption here; frankly, isn't that what "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" is all about... forgiveness, reconciliation, and second chances.

On a brighter note, I hope we have some lovely Spring movies ahead. Stay tuned for more details on the April movie premieres!

Happy Sleuthing!

This Weekend in TV Movies: 💐 Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue... 💐

The Hallmark Channel continues this weekend with *something new*... their second June Weddings movie premiere!

If you'd like to watch *something old*... there are many older classics- including Christmas movies, rom-coms, and mysteries, airing Friday through Sunday.

The *something borrowed*... would be the characters from the original "Aurora Teagarden" series.

And *something blue*... would be the beautiful water seen in "Love's Greek to Me."

See all of the movie details below...

Friday, June 9, 2023:

 
Following a mini "Aurora Teagarden" marathon on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, starring Candace Cameron Bure, from 5-9pm EST., is the premiere of "Aurora Teagarden Mysteries: Something New," with Skyler Samuels as young Aurora Teagarden at 9pm EST.

"Aurora Teagarden Mysteries: Something New" Storyline: Young Aurora Teagarden returns home to Lawrenceton after college to pursue her post-grad degree and finds herself embroiled in a mystery involving her friend Sally's fiancé.

Since they are doing this new "Aurora Teagarden" movie without Candace Cameron Bure and recasting other key characters, as well, including younger versions of Sally and Arthur, this movie is a pass personally for me. Please share if you plan to watch the new "Aurora Teagarden" in comments below.

For those of you who have expressed interest in the "Blue Ridge" TV series that is coming to the Cowboy Way Channel in either late 2023 or early 2024, I wanted you to know INSP will have an encore showing of the original "Blue Ridge" film this weekend - Saturday morning at 12am EST. - midnight!

Plus, the Cowboy Way Channel is airing "Blue Ridge" three times this weekend, Friday at 8pm and Saturday at 4am and 12pm EST.

"Blue Ridge" Storyline: Ex-Green Beret, Justin Wise, leaves his dangerous life to be nearer his ex-wife and young daughter to become the sheriff of a sleepy, small town cut out of the Blue Ridge Mountains. But his quiet life is soon disrupted when he finds himself fighting to keep this mountain community from exploding into violence. (Please note: This film is rated TV-PG-13.)

Weekend thoughts...

I hope you all have a pleasant weekend ahead. For those of you who have been affected by the smoke coming down from the wildfires in Canada, I sure hope it lifts, and blue skies will return soon for you. Our skies have been somewhat hazy here in the Midwest, but nothing like the orange sky images I've seen on TV and social media from New York and other surrounding states. That is so eerie looking.

I'm also hoping and praying we will receive some much-needed rain this weekend. We've been in a drought for some time now, and the crops here on our family farm certainly need moisture; everything is so dry and dusty. Are any of you experiencing this, as well? Some family members are experiencing dry, scratchy eyes, and we're not sure if that's due to the lack of rain or haze. Our sweet white kitty was playing in the yard, and due to the dry, dusty conditions, he came back mostly gray! Poor thing. I tried to clean him up, but as you know, water and kitty cats don't mix!

Not sure I'll get the chance to watch the new June Weddings movie over the weekend due to plans, but my DVR is already set. Do you plan to watch it or something else?

Please Note: I haven't screened the new movies. If you'd like to share a review after they air, please do so in comments below...

Have a blessed weekend, everyone!

Hallmark Media Press Release:

HALLMARK MOVIES & MYSTERIES 

THROWS IT BACK 

TO WHEN IT ALL BEGAN WITH

‘AURORA TEAGARDEN MYSTERIES: 

SOMETHING NEW’

A PREQUEL TO THE POPULAR, 

LONG-RUNNING 

‘AURORA TEAGARDEN MYSTERIES’

Skyler Samuels Stars as Young Aurora and Evan Roderick as Young Arthur

Marilu Henner Reprises her Role as Aida Teagarden

STUDIO CITY, CA –– March 9, 2023 – Hallmark Movies & Mysteries throws it back to when the sleuthing first began with “Aurora Teagarden Mysteries: Something New,” a prequel to the network’s popular, long-running “Aurora Teagarden Mysteries” premiering later this year, it was announced today. Skyler Samuels (“The Gabby Petito Story,” “The Gifted”) will star as young Aurora, Evan Roderick (“A Tale of Two Christmases,” “Autumn in the City”) as young Arthur and Marilu Henner (“A Kismet Christmas,” “Evening Shade”) is set to reprise her role as Aida Teagarden.

“Our viewers have been waiting for more adventures with Aurora and her friends – what better way to do that than to take them back to when the young, amateur sleuth was just coming into her own?” said Emily Merlin, Development Manager, Programming, Hallmark Media. “The Aurora Teagarden franchise is a fan favorite, and we’re excited to share this new chapter with viewers.”

“Aurora Teagarden Mysteries: Something New” is set in Aurora Teagarden’s (Samuels) post-college days when she finds herself back home in Lawrenceton. While her mother, Aida (Henner), struggles to keep her newfound real estate business, Aurora supports herself by working as a teacher’s assistant in a crime fiction class, and waitresses at the local diner at night, where she shares her love of researching true crime with her friend Sally and police officer Arthur (Roderick). When Sally’s fiancé doesn’t show up at their wedding rehearsal, Maid of Honor Aurora gets Arthur to help her search for him. When they discover a body, everyone assumes it is Sally’s tardy groom, but when it turns out to be someone else, Sally’s fiancé becomes the main suspect.

# # #

My Quick Take:

I must say this movie announcement today was quite a surprise! When I first read the press release, I could hardly believe my eyes. Did you have the same reaction? I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. It sort of seemed to me that Aurora's story, for the most part, had been told. I'm rather surprised to see they are taking the Aurora Teagarden story back in time to the past. It's hard to envision anyone else portraying Aurora Teagarden than Candace Cameron Bure; however, Candace's real-life daughter, Natasha, previously portrayed a younger version of Aurora Teagarden in the last movie, Haunted By Murder. I do wonder what kind of reaction this new Aurora Teagarden movie will receive from sleuthers and Candace fans???

Happy Sleuthing!

I hope you all have a nice, peaceful first weekend of March. It truly feels like Spring is right around the corner now. Our temps throughout the week were in the 20's & 30's, but we are actually anticipating a high temp of 70 degrees this weekend! That is very unusual for us here in the Heartland during March. It's obviously going to go back down again, so we'll enjoy it while we can. Hope your weather is pleasant, too!

 
Are you watching anything special this weekend? I'm looking forward to watching both A Bridesmaid in Love and When Calls the Heart. As I've shared before, I love actress Tori Anderson in Hallmark's "Return to Christmas Creek" and her new movie, "A Bridesmaid in Love," is giving me a vibe of the Katherine Heigl movie, "27 Dresses," and I'm hoping this will be a fun, family-friendly version! Please share your thoughts in the comment section below.

Please note: I have not pre-screened the new movies, etc... listed above. If you'd like to post a review on whether a film is family-friendly, please share in comments.

Blessings on your weekend! Net

INTERVIEW: CANDACE CAMERON BURE - on hosting the Hope Rising COVID-19 Benefit Concert, Faith, Family, & Future Hallmark Movies! @candacecbure #HopeRising SEE HERE:

Candace Cameron Bure - image (left): photographer Eric Michael Roy
image (top right): Hope Rising Benefit Concert / (mid right): incourage.me / Dayspring
image (bottom right): Hallmark Crown Media

I am beyond thrilled to share with you all today my interview with actress, host, author, producer... Candace Cameron Bure, who is well known from the popular family sitcom, "Full House," and her numerous, wonderful Hallmark movies, including the "Aurora Teagarden Mysteries," "A Shoe Addict's Christmas," "Christmas Town" and many more.

When I was given the opportunity to interview Candace, I immediately responded with a resounding "yes, I would love to!" I grew up watching (like so many of you!) Candace on "Full House" with my family. In fact, my sister and I would often imitate her hair and clothing styles. Candace is just one of those people who feels like a dear friend each time I see her on TV, and I think that's because we have followed her career from nearly the beginning.

I always receive such warm, positive responses from all of her films, so I know it's such a joy for many of us to watch her delightful, family-friendly Hallmark movies. And even more than that, I feel it's an even bigger blessing to know how strong Candace stands on her faith in The Lord.

This Sunday Candace will be sharing her faith as she hosts alongside her brother Kirk Cameron ("Fireproof," "Growing Pains") the Hope Rising COVID-19 Benefit Concert on April 19th at 8pm EST. via Facebook! Candace and I discuss all the details of this wonderful event in our interview together below. I hope you are as blessed reading this, as I was to share this with all of you!

CANDACE CAMERON BURE

Net, It's a Wonderful Movie: Welcome, Candace, to “It’s a Wonderful Movie,” where we typically chat about family friendly movies on TV! Most of the time I am sharing your delightful Hallmark movies with my readers, but I was so encouraged to hear about your latest project.

The Hope Rising COVID-19 Benefit Concert sounds like such a wonderful idea – which will include many fantastic, well known contemporary Christian music artists! Who are some of the incredible music talents who will be participating in the Hope Rising COVID-19 Benefit Concert that you are hosting this Sunday?

Candace Cameron Bure: There is going to be so many amazing artists! Some of the On-Screen Performances & Messages will include For King & Country, Matthew West, Casting Crowns, MercyMe, Natalie Grant, Dani and Dannah, Bishop TD Jakes, Kristen Chenoweth, and so much more!

Net, It's a Wonderful Movie: How excited are you to host this incredible event with your big brother, Kirk, who is such a strong man of faith?

Candace Cameron Bure: I did not hesitate to say yes when Kirk came to me with this idea . People are in need of hope, faith, courage, and inspiration during this anxiety producing time. Not only is Hope Rising a result of a lot of hard work, but it is backed up by even more heart. This is about giving back to people in need. Hope Rising will uplift and inspire by uniting the audience through music and inspirational messages. Plus, despite the challenge of each artist recording this from home, the end result is mind-blowing. There is an amazing energy behind it, and it needs to be seen everywhere!!

Net, It's a Wonderful Movie: I must say, my family and I are all such big fans of the music group, For King & Country! What was it like for you to be in their music video for their magnificent, uplifting song, “Joy”?

Candace Cameron Bure: It was so much fun! There was literally lots of Joy and excitement when we filmed it. I was tickled to death that they asked me. Everyone on their team is so kind hardworking, and creative. I was grateful to be a part of such an incredible song!

Net, It's a Wonderful Movie: Is there a song from one of the artists participating in this event that is a blessing to you – especially during this time?

Candace Cameron Bure: There are so many! I love “Almost Home” by MercyMe. A lot of people can relate right now to the lyrics of this song. It points us to remember that these burdens will one day be gone. It talks about how the road will be hard, but we win in the end because of Jesus.

Net, It's a Wonderful Movie: As many people are going through feelings of fear and uncertainty during this time, could you share a scripture that uplifts your spirit?

Candace Cameron Bure:

Matthew 6:26-34 (HCSB)

26 Look at the birds of the sky: They don’t sow or reap or gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you worth more than they?

27 Can any of you add a single cubit to his height by worrying?

28 And why do you worry about clothes? Learn how the wildflowers of the field grow: they don’t labor or spin thread.

29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was adorned like one of these!

30 If that’s how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and thrown into the furnace tomorrow, won’t He do much more for you—you of little faith?

31 So don’t worry, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear?’

32 For the idolaters eagerly seek all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.

33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided for you.

34 Therefore don’t worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Net, It's a Wonderful Movie: Since we’ve all been asked to stay-at-home, you have a Full House, once again, with all of your children home with you and your husband. What has this time meant for you and your family?

Candace Cameron Bure: My husband Val and I had become empty nesters in 2019 which made me sad. Now, we have all three kids back in the house which thrills me! For that reason alone, it’s been one of the silver linings I’m grateful for. More time with my children and husband, cooking, playing board games, going for walks around the neighborhood and talking. The conversations have been incredible.

Net, It's a Wonderful Movie: After the Hope Rising COVID-19 Benefit Concert, do you have any future projects you can share?

Candace Cameron Bure: I’m slated to film three more Aurora Teagarden Mystery movies with Hallmark in the fall and two Christmas movies. Obviously, we will see if that’s still possible after quarantine. I also have The Candace Collection home decor and faith inspired product line releasing this fall available at DaySpring.com and QVC. In addition, my production company Candy Rock Entertainment continues to produce and develop both scripted and unscripted lifestyle programming with an emphasis on family friendly content.

Net, It's a Wonderful Movie: Yay, I’m so excited to hear you might have TWO Hallmark Christmas movies coming this year! I sure hope it will still be possible!

*Side Note: Aurora Teagarden Mysteries: Heist and Seek premieres May 17, 2020 on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries!

Net, It's a Wonderful Movie: Where will the proceeds from the Hope Rising COVID-19 Benefit Concert go, and what do you hope viewers will take away from this inspirational, amazing event?

Candace Cameron Bure: 100% of the proceeds will go ​directly ​to the charity, Samaritan's Purse. Samaritan's Purse has created mobile hospitals in Central Park as well as other hot-spots across America and the world, giving medical care to those affected by COVID-19. No business, party or individual is fiscally benefiting from this project. All performances and production work have been donated- what a blessing!

Thank you so much Candace for doing this interview with me at “It’s a Wonderful Movie”! Keep on shining His Light! It was such a delight for me to have this opportunity to have this chat with you!

I know the scripture you shared above will mean so much to everyone here. In these difficult moments and days, we can find hope, redemption and power in His name. When we choose to follow Jesus, I believe as you do - that He will comfort us through the heartbreak, the loneliness, the loss, the toughest moments of our lives, and warmly welcome us into His loving arms. And yes, He will give us Joy - for "the Joy of The Lord is our strength!" (Nehemiah 8:10)

It is remarkable that all of these amazing Christian music artists are coming together for this event to support Samaritan's Purse, which is led by Christian evangelist and missionary, Franklin Graham. This humanitarian relief group has been there for people all over the world in need, and most recently in Italy and New York, with their mobile hospitals. In addition to that, they've been providing care and disaster relief for those in Tennessee, Louisiana, South Carolina, and Mississippi, where homes have been damaged or demolished recently by storms. The mission of Samaritan's Purse is "to follow the example of Christ by helping those in need and proclaiming the hope of the Gospel." If you would like to give directly to Samaritan's Purse, you can do so - HERE!

Again, I thank you Candace for joining me today, and I know many of us will look forward to seeing you host the Hope Rising COVID-19 Benefit Concert this Sunday on Facebook! God bless you in this and all of your future endeavors!

JOYous Blessings, Net
