Alison Sweeney Reveals Delicious News for her Hannah Swensen Mystery Franchise πŸ”Ž #Sleuthers SEE HERE:


During an interview with TVInsider - Alison Sweeney shared some wonderful news for all mystery fans! Her latest "Hannah Swensen Mystery" installment won't be the last!

"Carrot Cake Murder: A Hannah Swensen Mystery" premieres this upcoming FRIDAY, May 19th, 2023, at 9pm/8c. on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, and details on the next "Hannah Swensen Mystery" movie are already being revealed.

According to Alison's interview with TVInsider, these are the details given for the next "Hannah Swensen Mystery" after they solve the "Carrot Cake Murder"... 

"Then, in the next film, Hannah’s mother Delores (Barbara Niven) is the one to find the dead body of a homeowner while house-hunting for her sister Michelle. Hannah will once again work with her friend Norman (Gabriel Hogan), and she becomes convinced all is not as it seems at the victim’s house."

Learning this news is almost equivalent to being served dessert before the main course. I can't help but wonder if they are finally getting the clue that sleuthers are hesitant to start watching another mystery, since they've already canceled numerous fan-favorites. By promising mystery fans another episode in the "Hannah Swensen Mystery" wheel after this new one, that may be a good way to bring the viewers back - since ratings have taken a dip recently.

"Murder, She Baked" fans have been devoted since the first movie, "Murder, She Baked: A Chocolate Chip Cookie Mystery" aired on May 2, 2015. The series began with a love triangle between Hannah (Alison Sweeney), Mike (Cameron Mathison), and Norman (Gabriel Hogan). As the series progressed, so did Hannah's relationship with Mike, and much to Hannah's mother's (Barbara Niven) chagrin, the two are still engaged in "Carrot Cake Murder," and according to Alison's recent interview, wedding plans are progressing very slowly.

Will fans keep watching the "Hannah Swensen Mysteries"? That is yet to be seen. "Murder, She Baked" has had a big following since 2015, and many fans have remained captivated by Hannah's story, even when the series transitioned to a new title with "Hannah Swensen Mystery." Viewers didn't really mind the new title or that they changed the town's name from Eden Lake to Lake Eden, but what really disappointed a lot of fans was that they added on another sister, Michelle (Tess Atkins), out of the blue, and removed her other sister, Andrea (Lisa Durupt), who was a fan-favorite. Hopefully, Michelle, the new sister, will end up being a good addition to the series, but I'm still missing Andrea, who moved away with her family. Since they are planning more "Hannah Swensen Mysteries," I would love to see her return for a visit, which of course, involves a delicious mystery and, hopefully, a wedding!

Happy Sleuthing!

- HALLMARK MOVIES & MYSTERIES -


My Quick Take:

It's nice to see not only a new mystery but a familiar one at that, which first began on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries as Murder, She Baked: A Chocolate Chip Cookie Mystery in 2015! This series got a new start and a new title in 2021 with Hannah Swensen Mysteries, but you'll still see most of the same beloved characters from the original series. Speaking of that, I haven't heard whether or not either sister will be in this movie. I was hoping since fans missed Andrea (portrayed by Lisa Durupt) in the previous movie, they might bring her back for this one. However, since there isn't any word there, I'm thinking that isn't a good sign. Have any of you heard or seen anything regarding this? I sure would love to see Hannah and Andrea crime-solving together again!
