The Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Channel has another original movie coming out this month. ‘Morning Show Mysteries Murder Ever After’ stars Holly Robinson Peete and Colin Lawrence.
What is the movie about?
Hallmarkies, get ready for a sixth installment of the Morning Show Mysteries! This series is based off the novels written by Al Roker who also executive produces.
In Morning Show Mysteries Murder Ever After, Holly Robinson Peete portrays Billie Blessings, a morning show host. As a newly single woman and top rated anchor for her show “Wake Up West Coast,” everything seems to be going well for Billie. That is, until a family friend of hers Maggie (Francesca Bianchi) asks for her help.
When Billie makes a shocking find that implicates Maggie’s father in a murder, Maggie persuades her to help clear him. However, it’s easier said than done when the city’s head of homicide arrives the scene and notices her involvement.
Detective Sergeant Tyrell Price (Lawrence) is on the case but careful not to compromise his investigation yet can’t help but being impressed by Billie’s track record. Detective Price isn’t the only man with eyes on Billie. Notorious ladies’ man and reporter, Carlos (Jayce Barreiro) ruffles feathers right away when he joins Billie’s morning show. His plan is to take her down during one of the segments but after seeing her interview skills, he takes up an interest in her.
Using her powers of persuasion in an attempt to clear Maggie’s father, Billie creates a plot that implicates some of the city’s most powerful people. He even enlists her Aunt Cassandra’s (Robinson) help to get close to them.
When Billie and Cassandra find themselves at a swanky affair with Carlos, Detective Price and a number of suspects, they realize the pressures of high society can in fact be murder.
