Hallmark’s mysteries are always popular with viewers and now Great American Family is battling to keep up with its original mystery series.
In recent news, it was reported that Great American Media had announced the layoff of around 13 executives, including its Chief Market Officer. While this news seemed ominous, the network took the opportunity to share some exciting programming news. Led by former Hallmark CEO Bill Abbott, Great American Family is going to ramp up its mystery series, including more movies with Candace Cameron Bure.
Great American Family planning new mystery series

While Hallmark Mystery is popular with viewers, it turns out it’s not the only mystery network in the US. According to Deadline, Great American Family is planning the “launch of mystery franchises” in the first quarter of 2025. Moreover, the original movies will be centered on the lighter side of mysteries and whodunits, starring some fan favorites from the network’s talented family.
Meanwhile, GAF has already released some mysteries, including The Abigail Broukes Mysteries, written by and starring Ansley Gordon. It is believed there will be more of this particular series. Reportedly, Gordon is well known for her movies with Jonathan Stoddard, including A Christmas Frequency.
Candace Cameron Bure and mysteries
Moreover, Bure starred in the 2024 movie, The Ainsley MacGregor Mysteries: A Case For The Winemaker. Meanwhile, she has recently filmed another in the series, A Case For The Yarnmaker. She is also set to star in The Ainsley MacGregor Mysteries: A Case For The Watchmaker.
These movies are based on Candace Havens’ cozy mystery series. The lead character, Ainsley, is a Chicago criminologist who is burned out. She returns home to River, Texas, and there, she teaches criminology at the local community college at night. Meanwhile, by day, Ainsley owns a craft market called Bless Your Arts. These light mystery movies are currently available for streaming on Great American Pure Flix.
So far, Great American Family has not given more information on its new, original mysteries, despite promising several mystery franchises in the first quarter of 2025. At present, we can only relax and wait until the news is out.
