OF MISTLETOE MURDERS (FORTHCOMING) ON HALLMARK CHANNEL Q: I heard that Sarah Drew is making a new series for Hallmark Channel. What is it, and when will it be on? A: The “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Everwood” alum – who has made something of a cottage industry out of starring in cable films, for Lifetime as well as for Hallmark – will appear in a show based on the podcast “Mistletoe Murders,” in which she’ll play the owner of a holiday-themed store who doubles as an amateur sleuth. She’s assisted in the cases she tackles by a police detective and his daughter, and she also harbors a secret that could dismantle everything for her if it’s discovered by others. It makes sense that “Mistletoe Murders” (which currently is in production in Toronto) is expected to debut during the coming holiday season, and while that will make Drew a major part of Hallmark’s seasonal plans, she was very much a Lifetime employee during that period last year. Though she’s normally seen on camera in the projects she makes, she stayed behind the scenes as the writer and producer of “A Cowboy Christmas Romance,” which starred Jana Kramer and got extra attention for being a bit more spicy than Lifetime’s traditional holiday fare.

In 2022, Drew also was in a yuletide mode for Lifetime as the writer and star of “Reindeer Games Homecoming.” She’s been no stranger when it comes to Christmas-oriented tales, since her other projects have included “Christmas in Vienna,” “Christmas Pen Pals” and “Twinkle All the Way.” She also has stayed in business with Hallmark at other times of the year, two recent examples being the films “Branching Out” and “Guiding Emily.”
