Nicollette Sheridan Will Star in Hallmark's The Manny

Hallmark Channel continues to bring business to British Columbia’s film industry with 3 of it’s upcoming Spring Fling movies filming in the area: All Yours (aka The Manny), Love By Chance (aka By Chance), and Hearts of Spring (aka Mommy Bloggers).

The Hallmark Channel continues to see success in their original movie lineup including the most recent Winterfest series that aired at 9pm Saturdays throughout January. In fact, the channel was the highest-rated and most-watched cable network in the USA during that time slot for a period of 4 weeks. This was largely in part to the filmed in Vancouver area movie called Unleashing Mr. Darcy which had 3 million total viewers.

Of the 4 movies in the Winterfest series, 3 of them filmed in the Vancouver area: Unleashing Mr. Darcy, Love on the Sidelines (with Emily Kinney of The Walking Dead) and Love in Paradise. Hallmark continues to keep Vancouver as part of its formula for success as it will be their backdrop for at least 3 of the movies in their upcoming Spring Fling series.
