Will This Be The Final Hannah Swensen Movie On Hallmark?

For those Sleuthers who may have missed the news, Mystery 101 has been canceled. Therefore, Murder She Baked/Hannah Swensen is now their oldest mystery series. That is unless you count Signed, Sealed, Delivered.

Could this be the last installment of this mystery series? Hallmark has not said anything yet. However, in the books, Mike and Hannah get married. Therefore, if they don’t get married in this movie, hopefully, Hallmark will continue this series.

Sleuthers, are you looking forward to this new Hallmark mystery?
