“Brennan brings tremendous talent and charisma to every role,” said Lisa Hamilton Daly, Executive Vice President, Programming, Crown Media Family Networks. “He’s a joy to work with and we look forward to collaborating with him on new movies we know our viewers will fall in love with.”

“It’s been a dream to have worked with the wonderfully creative and supportive team at Hallmark over the years,” Elliott enthused. “I’m thrilled to continue this relationship that’s meant so much to me and have the opportunity to bring to life new characters and tell stories that will make people smile.”

“Lacey’s warmth, talent, relatability, and creative sensibilities have endeared her to millions of Hallmark viewers for more than ten years, making her one of our most in-demand stars,” remarked Daly. “In addition to shining on screen, Lacey is a prolific behind-the-scenes creative partner, developing and executive producing many of our highest-quality, most-beloved projects of all time. She inherently understands and embodies what our networks are all about — the transformational power of love and making people feel good — and we look forward to continuing our work with her to create heartfelt, compelling stories that will entertain, inspire, and touch our audience.”

The two have extensive resumes with the networks  — both Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries — and together they star in “The Crossword Mysteries” as well as the “All of My Heart” movies. The pairing of these two always seems to be a joy for viewers.

Chabert has been acting since she was a youngster, and made her mark in the industry when she starred as Claudia Salinger in the TV series “Party of Five.”

Chabert said, “My experience at Hallmark, a home to me for over ten years now, has been wonderful and it’s beyond rewarding to create characters and develop stories that resonate so strongly with viewers. I’m also incredibly grateful to Crown’s programming team for supporting me as a producer and empowering me to develop and star in projects that bring my passion and creative vision to life. I am so excited for what’s next and to continue connecting with Hallmark’s audience.”

Elliott, 47, also has an impressive resume, making his big mark as Dr. Nick Biancavilla in the TV series “Strong Medicine.” He also appeared as the somewhat nefarious Warren Saget in the series “Cedar Cove,” and as the host in the Lifetime series “UnREAL.”

The two are friends off camera as well, which might be the reason their chemistry onscreen is so engaging. Whenever they appear in a show together, Twitter goes crazy. That is a testament to their popularity as a duo.

With their multi-year contracts, fans will be treated to many more shows featuring one of the “Hallmark Hunks” and a Crown Media princess.
