However, whether this exclusivity applies to her mystery series isn’t currently known. GAC Family referred Heavy to McKellar’s manager for details about the mystery movies, and they have not yet replied.
One mystery series that Hallmark has confirmed is returning is “Aurora Teagarden.” Casting has already started for the newest movie, which is currently called “Haunted by Murder.”
