Sleuth mode activated! Alison Sweeney has been a Hallmark Channel staple for years — but which of her Hallmark Movies & Mysteries franchises does she want to make more films for first?
The Murder, She Baked Mysteries star, 46, exclusively told Us Weekly that she would sign on for more Hannah Swensen movies following the character’s revival in 2021.
“I wish I could offer you some hint in that direction right now [about the Hannah Swensen franchise]. I cannot, but believe me, I am a big fan of Hannah Swensen and if I can make that happen, I will,” Sweeney shared with Us. “I will tell you when I can.”
The California native first played baker and amateur detective Hannah Swensen in the Murder, She Baked movies, which included five films that aired from 2015 to 2017. Her character made a comeback in the spinoff franchise, Hannah Swensen Mysteries, alongside costar Cameron Mathison (Mike Kingston) in August 2021.
“I love making those movies,” Sweeney told Us of the baking-themed adventures while promoting her upcoming Hallmark Channel “Countdown to Christmas” movie, A Magical Christmas Village. “Those are my favorites to be honest.”
The Days of Our Lives star also teased the possibility of more Chronicle Mysteries films, in which she plays podcaster Alex McPherson alongside Benjamin Ayres as Drew Godfrey.
“Oh my gosh, for sure. I would love to [revive that character],” Sweeney said gushing over the film’s “relevant” story lines. “I love that series. I love that show. Unfortunately, it’s, like, not my decision. But believe me, if ever there was interest, I would be ready to take it up again.”
While Sweeney isn’t working on a new Hannah Swensen or a Chronicle Mysteries installment at the moment, her future with Hallmark Media is
