If you’re really looking forward to these or other mystery-themed TV specials coming up in February, be sure to leave a comment below!

In case you’re interested in seeing the rest of this month’s television mystery movies, here’s the January 2021 television mystery movies schedule:

Upcoming Television Mystery Movies for January 2022 on Turner Classic Movies channel

And here is the page on my site with plenty of entries about movies and television shows you may enjoy:

Cozy Mystery List TV and Movie Section – all you have to do is click on the link to go to that page on my site.

First off, let me say that I hope everyone has a fantastic, happy, and healthy 2022! 

I’m also hoping that since Hallmark was able to make something like forty new Christmas movies to show during the holiday season that they will be able to make something like forty new mystery movies to show the other months of the year. It would be great if we are treated to… let’s say four new mystery movies in each of the other ten months! Here’s hoping!

I have only listed one premiere movie so far during January 2022 – but I have one more Sunday to add to this list (once the channel makes their schedule public). I don’t think it’s a mystery, but until I’m sure I have it listed on this entry.
