Gilded Newport Mysteries: Murder at the Breakers is an all-new movie premiering February 2, 2024 on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries. Starring Ali Skovbye, Danny Griffin and Nathan Witte, the film focuses on a murder that takes place in 1895 Rhode Island. It joins other originals such as True Justice Family Ties and Betty’s Bad Luck in Love. Get details below, including a full plot summary, cast list, trailer, photos and more.
In July 1895, New York’s elite gathered in Newport, Rhode Island for a summer of balls, garden parties, and yacht races. 21-year-old Newport Observer reporter Emma Vanderbilt-Cross (Ali Skovbye) is covering the events. But, articles are the last thing on her mind when her half-brother Brady Cross (James Drew Dean) is arrested for the murder of Goddard (Cesare Scarpone), the Vanderbilt business advisor. Emma decides to prove her half-brother’s innocence and discovers that Goddard had more than his fair share of enemies.
With the help of her crush, police detective Jesse Whyte (Danny Griffin), housekeeper Nanny O’Neal (Gillian Barber) and coroner’s assistant Harriet Rice (Amira Anderson), Emma’s investigation is both dangerous and intriguing. So intriguing, in fact, that she’s attracted the attention of the town’s mysterious new stranger (Nathan Witte). As Emma grows closer to the truth, Goddard’s murderer goes on the offensive, stopping at nothing to keep their identity a secret.
Ali Skovbye as Emma
Ali Skovbye appeared in Firefly Lane on Netflix. She also appeared in movies like Imperfect High, His Perfect Obsession, Secrets of My Stepdaughter, One Christmas Eve and Campfire Kiss. Additional TV credits include You Me Her, Once Upon a Time, The Man in the High Castle and Hallmark’s When Calls the Heart. The 21-year-old actress is the younger sister of Riverdale’s Tiera Skovbye.

Griffin was in a relationship with Winx co-star Abbey Cowen for a couple of years from 2021-2022. But, they no longer follow each other or post one another on their respective social media pages. The 26-year-old British actor has an impressive 1.2 million followers on Instagram alone.
Nathan Witte as Derrick
Nathan Witte appeared in Hallmark Movies & Mysteries’ Cut, Color, Murder and Hallmark Channel’s My Best Friend’s Bouquet.
