It’s already March! It seems like it was just 2021, and here we are – already getting ready for spring, although I know that feels like we’re a long distance from that – for those of you who have been experiencing unusually cold winters.
I always find the months with no premieres on the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries channel “difficult” to write about. I know that a lot of us look forward to new mystery movies – and that it’s always a drag (I’m sure that expression dates me!) to find out there are no new mysteries during the month. Well, that’s happening this month — unless they air a premiere mystery movie the last week of March. Hopefully the channel will make that information available soon. It looks like they are adding Friday to their Thursday romantic movies schedule. I liked it when they reserved the romantic movies for their other Hallmark channels… not so anymore!
I have left several days and/or time slots empty. The channel will be showing a lot of love-themed movies again this month. Since this is the Cozy Mystery site, I’m not listing them…

THANK YOU doe listing the cozies we have to look forward to. I tape a few favorites for those empty dates…and agree, mysteries are not romances, but maybe Hmark has found them more profitable. Regardless, this was meant to say that I appreciate your efforts to keep us up to date.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Hunnypups, I’m glad that these sort of posts are helpful in selecting your upcoming movies for the month!
Pam says
I also hate that some of the mystery movies that I enjoyed like Emma Fielding mysteries and Fixer Up mysteries are not being made anymore. At least they resurrected the Murder, She Baked mysteries into the Hannah Swenson mysteries.

Pam, it’s definitely disappointing when a favorite series ends.
