    Fan-favorite Hallmark mystery series to get three new movies

    The Hallmark mystery series Curious Caterer will get three new movies. Nikki DeLoach and Andrew Walker will begin filming Curious Caterer: Drumstick Drama next week in Vancouver, according to Deadline.
     
    The production company that makes the movies also has two more in pre-production, according to its website.
     
    “I’m thrilled!! I love these two together and I hope they keep making a lot more of these, so much fun to watch!” wrote one fan in the comments section.
     
    “I like these shows,” another wrote. “My granddaughter and I like to guess who the killer is.”
     

    Curious Caterer movies

     
    Hallmark released the first of the Curious Caterer movies in 2022 on Hallmark Movies and Mysteries (the network that has since been renamed Hallmark Mystery). Based on the books by Dianne Mott Davidson, the series followed a small-town Colorado caterer and single mother named Goldy Berry (played by Nikki DeLoach).
     
    In the first movie, Curious Caterer: Dying For Chocolate, Goldy finds one of her friends murdered and then teams up with Detective Tom Schultz (played by Andrew Walker) to solve the case.
     
    A second film in the series, Curious Caterer: Grilling Season, premiered in February 2023. In that movie, Goldy catered a barbecue for a friend who was killed when her grill exploded. Goldy was the number one suspect because she was the last one to use the grill. She worked with Schultz to clear her name.
     
    In Curious Caterer: Fatal Vows (2023), Goldy was hired to cater a wedding for Tom Schultz’s ex-wife. When the groom is murdered and the bride goes missing, Tom and Goldy must solve the case.
     
    In Curious Caterer: Foiled Plans (2024), Goldy was hired to cater an event at a local castle. But when a dead body is discovered. Goldy and Tom must rush to find the killer before he or she escapes.
     

    New Curious Caterer

     
    In Curious Caterer: Drumstick Drama, Goldy is hired to cater a party for the re-release of a rock album. When she finds out Tom has tickets to attend the band’s concert, which takes place on the same night as the party, she tries to figure out how she can do double-duty.
     
    But the band’s lead singer gets electrocuted during the event, turning the concert into a crime scene and Tom and Goldy must get to work.
     
    The company that produces the movies also has notices on its website for two additional movies in the franchise. In Curious Caterer: Tough Cookie, Goldy lands a gig hosting a cookie program for TV but ends up putting her detective skills to use when someone is killed on the set. 
     
    In Curious Caterer: Prime Cut, Goldy is invited to cater a tasting for a prestigious fashion show. But the event turns into a murder investigation when the body of a local contractor — the contractor Goldy has been feuding with — is found on-site.

  • Two new mystery movies coming to Hallmark

    Two new mystery movies coming to Hallmark

    Two new mystery movies are coming to Hallmark. The network known as Hallmark Mystery (formerly Hallmark Movies and Mysteries) will air a new movie in the Hannah Swensen series and a new movie in the Curious Caterer series.

    “You’ve spoken and @hallmarkmystery has listened,” wrote Andrew Walker in an Instagram post to promote his film. “Thanks to you #sleuthers, we’re coming back with another #curiouscaterer and in my humble opinion, the best one yet.”

    New mystery movies

    Hallmark has introduced several new mystery series in the past year, including Haunted Harmony Mysteries, which starred Tamera Mowry-Housley, and Family History Mysteries, starring Janel Parrish and Niall Matter.

    Hannah Swensen and Curious Caterer, however, are old favorites.

    Murder, She Baked

    One Bad Apple: A Hannah Swensen Mystery, will be the ninth movie in the series, which is based on books by author Joanne Fluke. One Bad Apple will be the first film in the series not to feature Cameron Mathison, who played Detective Mike Kingston.

    Fans were left reeling after Hannah and Mike broke up in the seventh movie, Carrot Cake Murder: A Hannah Swensen Mystery. Though they reunited to solve a murder in the eighth film A Zest for Death: A Hannah Swensen Mystery, the characters did not reconnect romantically.

    In a May interview, Alison Sweeney, who plays baker-turned-sleuth Hannah Swensen, talked about some of the challenges the couple faced.

    “Mike is attracted to Hannah and her crime-solving ways, her mind, the fact that she is so interested, the fact that she’s good at it,” she told TV Insider. “She does get people to talk to her in a way that sometimes Mike or other detectives aren’t able to get them to open up. She does have really good instincts and a unique way of getting people to open up to her. I think the cookies help. Mike respects that, and he loves that about her, but it causes him a lot of trouble at work, and for good reasons and maybe also not-so-good reasons, the sheriff isn’t too keen to have Hannah getting involved in the crime-solving business. So that’s been a tricky thing for [Mike] to navigate. And unfortunately, I think Mike is a little old school, so he struggles with how much of that to share with Hannah.”

    Victor Webster

    Hallmark favorite Victor Webster will step in as a love interest for Hannah.

    According to a synopsis from Hallmark, Hannah becomes a suspect in a murder investigation. While trying to prove her innocence, she comes face-to-face with Chad Norton (played by Victor Webster), a handsome local prosecutor.

    New Curious Caterer

    Curious Caterer: Foiled Plans, will be the fourth movie in the series, which is based on the books by author Diane Mott Davidson. Nikki DeLoach stars as caterer Goldy Berry, who is hired to cater a medieval festival at a local castle. But when a dead body turns up, Goldy must help boyfriend and local detective Mike Schultz (played by Andrew Walker) to solve the murder.

    “Any guesses as to what Goldy and Tom will be up to this time?” Walker wrote in the caption of his Instagram post.

  • Andrew Walker tells fans they can expect two more movies in popular mystery series

    Andrew Walker tells fans they can expect two more movies in popular mystery series

    Andrew Walker recently revealed that there will be at least two more movies in the popular Curious Caterer mystery series. The actor co-stars with Nikki DeLoach in the movies, which are based on a series of books by Diane Mott Davidson.

    Walker and DeLoach were appearing at a fan convention when they got the news.

    “We were together, it was amazing,” Walker told Heavy. “Nikki and I are, you know, seven movies deep now and people still want to see us. We got approved for another — we actually got approved for two more ‘Curious Caterers.’ The executive producer called us and it was a nice little birthday gift.”

    Popular mystery series

    The first movie in the series premiered in April 2022. In Dying For Chocolate, DeLoach played caterer and single mom Goldy Berry. When her best friend is killed, Goldy becomes determined to find the murderer. She ends up joining forces with local detective Tom Shultz (played by Walker).

    A second movie, Curious Caterer: Grilling Season, followed in February 2023. In a Facebook Live event to promote the movie, Walker asked fans to keep watching the series so he could continue to work with DeLoach.

    In addition to the Curious Caterer movies, Walker and DeLoach have paired up in the Hallmark films A Dream of Christmas (2016), The Perfect Catch ( 2017), and Sweet Autumn (2020).

    Andrew Walker

    A native of Canada, Andrew Walker got his start on TV in the series Student Bodies. He had roles on NYPD Blue, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, ER, and the Big Bang Theory.

    He has starred in more than 20 movies for Hallmark, including The 27-Hour Day, Three Wise Men and a Baby, and A Safari Romance. In an interview, he talked about how great it was to work with the network.

    “You know, there’s no stability anywhere out there,” he said. “And here are all of these actors in our 40s, where in the general landscape of our industry we would be kind of at the tail end, which is sad to say. But here we are now…. [The fans] watch the movies and give us that ability to continue to thrive and to bring them new stories with the same faces, just different combinations and storylines.”
