Hallmark Movies & Mysteries will launch an original TV movie franchise based on Joanne Fluke's bestselling Hannah Swensen culinary mystery series, and starring Alison Sweeney (Days of Our Lives) and Cameron Mathison (All My Children). The first film, Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder, is scheduled to premiere this spring. The project is produced by Brad Krevoy Television and Stephanie Germain Productions, with Brad Krevoy, Stephanie Germain and Eric Jarboe as executive producers.
"I am absolutely thrilled that Crown Media and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries have chosen to film Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder, " said Fluke. "It's what the Hannah fans have always wanted, and I know that Hannah Swensen has found the perfect home."
Fluke's Hannah Swensen mystery series debuted 15 years ago with Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder. The 18th book, Double Fudge Brownie Murder, will be released February 24 by Kensington.
