The Hallmark Channel is developing original movies based on two of Karen Kingsbury's novels: The Bridge, which will be written by Jamie Pachino (Franklin & Bash), and A Time to Dance.
"Karen Kingsbury's unmatched inspirational storytelling is a perfect fit for a partnership with the Hallmark Channel brand,” said Michelle Vicary, executive v-p, programming for Crown Media Family Networks. "We've had extraordinary success working in collaboration with bestselling novelists, and we know this partnership will be especially rewarding for our viewers as they connect to Karen's remarkable stories on our network for the very first time."
Kingsbury noted that Hallmark "is a trusted name in TV and with my millions of readers. I am beyond thrilled to begin this partnership. My readers will count down the days till the first of these two future classic movies."
