About “Mystery 101”
- Mystery 101 has a Wikipedia page!
- It premiered originally on Jan 27, 2019 on Hallmark Movies and Mysteries.
- Earlier this year, Polaha gave an interview with Just Jared. Regarding an 8th installment he said “We love telling those stories and whatever the network decides…it’s inconclusive,” also adding “there’s always been conversation about number eight, [but] there’s no like official word.”
- Kristoffer Polaha stars as Detective Travis Burke. He has an impressive 77 acting credits with his first dating back to 2001 as Dylan in the teen vampire drama “Angel.” On deck for Polaha: “Harlan Coben’s Shelter” and the highly anticipated “A Biltmore Christmas” for Hallmark.

- Jill Wagner plays Professor Amy Winslow. She has 31 acting credits including 6 episodes of the MTV prank show Punk’d and it looks like her first Hallmark movie was “Autumn Dreams” from 2015.

- Robin Thomas plays Amy’s dad Graham Winslow. Want to talk about impressive resume, this guy has 137 acting credits listed on IMDb. I recognized his face immediately from the old soap opera “Another World” where he played Mark Singleton from 1983-1985. I have absolutely NO IDEA how I remembered him considering I was 8 years old. He’s also been in a movie I was too young to watch called “Summer School” from 1987, “Who’s the Boss?” “Fuller House” “Damages” – tons of others.
