‘Matchmaker Mysteries’ Was Filmed in Canada

Matchmaker Mysteries was filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, according to IMDb. This movie was originally going to be called “The Poison Pen.”

Here’s a photo from filming in Vancouver.

Their publicity shoot was in February.

Here’s a photo from filming in July in Ottawa.

And here’s another photo from shooting in Vancouver. The actors will be live tweeting on the premiere night.

One of the dogs who starred in Love & Sunshine (Sawyer) also appears in this Matchmaker Movie. This photo was tagged in Maple Ridge, British Columbia during filming.

The movie wrapped in early March, just before production shutdown in most areas.

According to McKellar’s post, they were supposed to start production on the third Matchmaker movie in April. It’s safe to guess that was delayed due to shutdowns from the pandemic.
