Summary
Hallmarks Countdown to Christmas is the networks most-anticipated programming of the year.
Out of the mix isMistletoe MurdersstarringSarah Drew.
The series featurestheGreys AnatomyalumasEmily Lane, describes as an optimistic shop owner of a charming year-round Christmas-themed store.
COLLIDER: So, congratulations onMistletoe Murders.
So, obviously, this is a very different concept for a Hallmark Christmas movie.
So knowing that, were you intimidated or hesitant to take on this project at all?
SARAH DREW: Oh, no, I’m always excited to expand and grow and try something different.
This series is so fantastic.
There’s so much story to tell.
We as humans are paradoxical, we really are.
The ‘Scouting for Christmas’ actress plays a busy single mom looking for her own Christmas joy.
COLLIDER: So as you mentioned, there’s a duality to your character.
She runs this Christmas shop, but she’s also doing some undercover investigating.
Take us through her journey and how that plays out over the six episodes.
That is the biggest mystery through all six episodes is who is Emily Lane?
Where is she coming from?
Is she running from something or someone?
Is she running to something or someone?
Like, what is her story that mystery plays through all six episodes?
He does not want her to get involved in his investigation.
He thinks of her as an amateur sleuth.
He doesn’t know, she knows, she knows all she knows everything before he knows anything.
There’s so many different layers to this show.
It’s really fun.
So how do we see those elements act as their own character in the film in this show?
And we get to explore that and watch her crack open in that way.
But I will say all that Christmas stuff is there.
COLLIDER: You’re part of a new wave of programming this season.
For Hallmark, we have series for the holidays, which we never had before.
We have some unscripted shows, some reality shows.
How does it feel to be part of this new format that they’re introducing?
And what does that say for what’s to come next, the next holiday season?
SARAH DREW: It’s so exciting.
The world is Hallmark’s Oyster right now.
Theyre entering into the streaming platform is so smart, I think.
So I’m just, I’m so thrilled to be a part of this whole world right now.
Mistletoe Murderscan be streamed on Hallmark+.
