Breaking News: Nikki DeLoach Shares Script Update and Calls Fans to Action
In a heartfelt message to fans, Nikki DeLoach revealed that both she and Andrew Walker have been actively advocating for more Curious Caterer movies. The best news? There’s already a script ready to go. However, DeLoach candidly shared that despite having a script in hand, there has been “zero forward movement” on getting the project greenlit.
But here’s where fans come in: Nikki is urging viewers who want more Curious Caterer to make their voices heard directly to @hallmarkchannel on social media. Fan engagement has historically played a significant role in Hallmark’s programming decisions, and this could be the push needed to get Goldy and Tom’s next adventure off the ground.
If you’re passionate about seeing this beloved mystery series continue, now is the time to reach out to Hallmark and let them know. Comment on their posts, send messages, and show them just how much this series means to the devoted fanbase that’s been waiting patiently for more.
Why There Are No Curious Caterer Premieres in 2026
While Hallmark hasn’t made an official statement about skipping a Curious Caterer release in 2026, the pattern continues from 2025. Hallmark Media has been navigating significant changes – from executive transitions to evolving content strategies as they adapt to the streaming era. The shift away from traditional cable has forced networks like Hallmark to reconsider how they develop and release content, which has impacted the production schedule for many beloved franchises.
What makes Nikki’s recent update particularly significant is that it confirms what many fans suspected: the delay isn’t about lack of interest from the cast or lack of story ideas. With a script already written and both leads eager to return, the holdup appears to be on Hallmark’s end – which means fan advocacy could genuinely make a difference.
What the Cast Said About Curious Caterer’s Future
Both Nikki DeLoach and Andrew Walker have consistently expressed their love for the Curious Caterer series and their desire to continue Goldy and Tom’s story. DeLoach’s recent update makes it clear that the cast is ready and willing – they’ve even advocated behind the scenes for more movies. The fact that a script exists is encouraging, as it shows there’s been active development work happening even if production hasn’t moved forward yet.

What to Watch While You Wait for Curious Caterer 2026
If you’re looking to scratch that cozy mystery itch while you wait for more Curious Caterer, Hallmark has a lineup of fan-favorite franchises that deliver all the twists, romance, and small-town sleuthing you love. Here are a few standout series to dive into next:
- Mistletoe Murders – This brand-new Hallmark mystery series stars Sarah Drew as a small-town shop owner whose holiday season takes a deadly turn. Blending Christmas charm with criminal intrigue, Mistletoe Murders is perfect for fans who like their festive lights tangled up with red herrings.
- Mystery 101 – One of Hallmark’s most beloved mystery franchises, Mystery 101 follows English professor Amy Winslow and Detective Travis Burke as they solve complex cases with brains, banter, and undeniable chemistry. With seven films (and a famously unresolved cliffhanger), this series has become a must-watch for mystery fans.
- Hannah Swensen Mysteries – Based on the bestselling books by Joanne Fluke, this long-running Hallmark Mystery series stars Alison Sweeney as Hannah, a baker with a talent for solving murders in her small town of Lake Eden. With sweet treats, cozy vibes, and a growing list of suspicious characters, Hannah Swensen Mysteries delivers classic whodunnit energy – often with a side of cookies.
- Mystery Island – When a getaway to a mystery-themed resort takes a deadly turn, a local detective joins forces with a vacationing British criminal psychiatrist to crack the case. With its tropical setting, clever twists, and sparks between the unlikely duo, this Hallmark mystery delivers both intrigue and escapism.
- Private Eyes – Streaming now on Hallmark+, this Canadian import stars Jason Priestley as ex-pro hockey player Matt Shade, who teams up with savvy private investigator Angie Everett (Cindy Sampson) to tackle cases across Toronto. Equal parts witty banter, slow-burn chemistry, and sharp detective work, Private Eyes has become a binge-worthy fan favorite for mystery lovers.

The Future of Hallmark Mystery Movies
The future of Hallmark mysteries has become a hot topic among fans, with some speculating – and even fearing – that the network might eventually phase out its beloved mystery programming. It’s true that the pace of new franchise releases has slowed in 2025, fueling concern.
But let’s not sound the alarm just yet. In fact, Hallmark introduced a slew of new mystery titles since 2024, including The Cases of Mystery Lane, Nelly Knows Mysteries, Tipline Mysteries, Family Practice Mysteries, CrimeTime, True Justice, and Haunted Harmony Mysteries. Some of these premieres were met with major fanfare and solid ratings, proving there’s still plenty of appetite for clever whodunits and cozy crime-solving. So, are Hallmark mysteries really disappearing? Based on this lineup, it looks like they’re just getting started.
Update: We are sad to report that The Cases of Mystery Lane has officially been canceled.
