Hallmark Channel’s Brennan Elliot Working On New Mystery Movie

Sleuthers will remember that Brennan Elliott previously starred in two mystery movie series for Hallmark. First, there was the Flower Shop Mysteries, where he led with Brooke Shields.

His second mystery series was the Crossword Mysteries with Lacey Chabert. However, after starring in five of those movies, Lacey is now starring with Will Kemp in The Dancing Detective.

Meanwhile, Elliott’s fans miss seeing him in a mystery movie. However, it turns out Brennan is now working on his own mystery series.

Brennan Elliott and a new Hallmark Mystery

In a recent episode of the Hallmark Mysteries & More Podcast, Joel Rice revealed exciting news about Brennan. First, there was news of several new mysteries going into production, including two Aurora Teagarden Mysteries. However, Rice then revealed a bombshell, saying:

Developing something with Brennan. That’s a mystery. That’s all I’ll say.

Meanwhile, the host, Eric Rutin said that Brennan had told him last year that he was beginning to work on a mystery series. Joel Rice then shared:

And we love the guy. Love the guy. So he came back to the mystery world. Yeah. But front and center, he’s going to. It will be him as the lead.

Basically, it seems that Brennan Elliott is busy, developing a new Hallmark Mystery with Muse Entertainment, in which he will play the lead. However, no mention was made about the other leading role.

While the new mystery is only in the development stage, no further information is available right now. Moreover, there is no indication that a script has been written, or that it is greenlit to make into a movie. Naturally, there will be no confirmation of this until Hallmark Mystery makes an official announcement.

Will this turn into a mystery movie series?

While there is no further information right now about Elliott’s Hallmark Mystery, it is likely that the feel-good network will make more than one.

Moreover, Lisa Hamilton Daly, EVP at Hallmark Media spoke on the Hallmark Mysteries & More Podcast, telling Ruten that standalone mysteries are not as successful as a mystery series. Hopefully, this means the plan will be to make more mystery movies soon.

In the discussion, it was explained why series are more successful, mainly because a standalone doesn’t feature as much character or romance development because of the mystery elements involved. However, with the mystery series, fans get to know the characters and learn to love them.

Due to this, Sleuthers can start hoping that when Brennan makes a new mystery, the network will make more than one.
