Katherine McNamara stars as a law student trying to free her brother when he is indicted for murder in the new Hallmark mystery True Justice: Family Ties. The movie, which will premiere this weekend on Hallmark Movies and Mysteries, was written by Hallmark star Nikki DeLoach and her writing partner Megan McNulty.
In an Instagram post from the set of the film, DeLoach said she was thrilled to see the script being brought to life.
“My writing partner @megmcnut and I had the honor of bringing to life a new mystery on @hallmarkmovie,” she wrote in the caption. “We wrote the character of DA Quinn with @benjaminayres in mind. Thank God he said yes. And we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect leading lady in @kat.mcnamara, our Casey Barlowe.”
Ayres responded in the comments section.
“When the character description was ‘Very Attractive Late 20’s’ I knew it was written for me,” he wrote. “Jokes aside, I’m still absolutely flattered/honored that you did this for me. I am SO proud of this project and your writing ability along with @megmcnut.”

In True Justice: Family Ties, Katherine McNamara stars as law student Casey Barlowe.
