WHEN CALLS THE HEART’s Erin Krakow, Daniel Lissing Reunite for Christmas Movie
By Movieguide® Contributor
WHEN CALLS THE HEART stars Erin Krakow and Daniel Lissing are teaming up for a new Hallmark movie, SANTA TELL ME.
“I’m so happy to be working alongside my dear friend @daniellissing on @hallmarkchannel’s Christmas movie #SantaTellMe!!!” Krakow posted on Instagram, along with a video of the set that showed off a town decorated for Christmas.
SANTA TELL ME is part of Hallmark’s 2024 “Countdown to Christmas” lineup.
The network also announced more new movies, including ROMANCE WITH A TWIST, LOVE ON THE RIGHT COURSE, A SCOTTISH LOVE SCHEME and ONE BAD APPLE: A HANNAH SWENSEN MYSTERY.
ONE BAD APPLE will also feature a reunion for two former co-stars — Alison Sweeney and Victor Webster “previously starred together on DAYS OF OUR LIVES and in Hallmark’s WEDDING VEIL films,” per Variety.
In addition to filming SANTA TELL ME, Krakow is also preparing for the upcoming eleventh season of WHEN CALLS THE HEART.
“Time has flown by since the end of season 10, and I cannot put into words how thrilled I am for the premiere of season 11 of WHEN CALLS THE HEART,” the actress said in a statement about the new episodes. “It’s such a warm feeling to know that we have the loyalty, love, and longevity to make it this far and that is a true testament to our viewers… I cannot wait for viewers to tune in to this season and to continue on this journey with all of us! Season 11 delivers more heart than ever before!”
Movieguide® previously reported on Season 11 of WHEN CALLS THE HEART:
The hit show WHEN CALLS THE HEART will return for its 11th season on April 7, and star Erin Krakow assures fans that it will answer questions left by last season’s cliffhanger.
“I can say that the good news is that those questions will be answered. And pretty much right away, so we’re not gonna have to wait too long in season 11 to get those answers,” Krakow told ET.
Last season’s finale saw Elizabeth Thornton (Krakow) ending her engagement to Lucas (Chris McNally). At the same time, her feelings for Nathan (Kevin McGarry), Hope Valley’s constable, grow. Meanwhile, Lucas is elected governor but is confronted by a stranger right after the election.
Krakow did not want to give any spoilers away for the upcoming season but assured fans that Lucas would return. Season 10 ended with Bill coming up to Nathan and Elizabeth, saying that Lucas needed them right away, implying that he might be in danger.
“We’re not going to lose Chris McNally,” Krakow said. ”He’s fantastic. I can’t imagine that. Yeah, our show just grew and changed when we brought in Kevin and Chris, he’s got to stick around…[W]e are continuing to explore this political route he’s on.”
