UP is like Ion in that its (new) movie releases seem *very* seasonal - IOW, they do ("new") movies around Christmas time, and almost no other time throughout the year. (UP may do a few movies at other times, but it's rare.) > For that > matter, has Hallmark Mystery had any premieres since the name change? A few. But very few. When Hallmark lost most of their headliners to GAFfe channel, it obliterated their mystery movie series, and Hallmark Mystery mostly got out of doing them as a result. They tried to launch a "Aurora Teagarden" mystery "reboot" with Skyler Samuels, and one or two other new "mystery" series, but I'm not sure any of them got beyond *one* initial movie (which isn't much of a "series"!!) > Their website says they have a premiere on Friday night: > > https://www.hallmarkmystery.com/curious-caterer-foiled-plans OK, so that answers that - the new Nikki DeLoach mystery series got past one movie.
