Crown Media

The third movie in the MatchMaker Mysteries series premieres, The Art of the Kill, premieres on Sunday, April 18 at 8 p.m. Eastern on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries. The series starring Danica McKellar and Victor Webster is a fan favorite, and Hallmark viewers have been eagerly awaiting the newest installment. Here’s a look at where the movie was filmed, along with behind-the-scenes moments.


The Movie Was Filmed in Canada

Like the MatchMaker Mysteries movies before it, this one was filmed in Canada. During filming, McKellar tagged one of her photos as being in Vancouver. The previous movie was also filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, according to IMDb.

McKellar shared that it was snowing while they were filming in January and February. On one day, she had to wear a heavy coat just to walk to the set.

In January, they teased the movie with a video from Day 3 of filming.

Part of the movie was filmed at an art museum, she shared.

They took a lot of precautions for COVID-19 while filming, she shared in a behind-the-scenes photo.

They had a lot of fun on set too, including joking about how tall Webster is.

Her son Draco was with her while she was quarantining before the movie. She called him “the best workout buddy ever.”

Webster joked about his “masterful folder-flipping technique” for filming.

And Bruce Boxleitner shared this photo from the final day of filming.

Cory Lee, who also stars in the movie, shared this selfie she took with McKellar.

And she talked about how excited she was to be filming in Vancouver for the movie.

“Work is my happy place,” she shared in March.

They had a lot of fun together while filming:

This sneak peek shows what the ADR recording part for the movie was like.

We’ll also meet a new character in the movie named Derrick.
