Candace Cameron Bure may have left Hallmark, but the network is already moving forward with one of her signature titles but with a new actress. Hallmark previously announced that it would be reworking the film series Aurora Teagarden as part of Hallmark Movies and Mysteries, with a prequel. Bure starred in the popular Hallmark franchise as the titular librarian for 18 films. Now, Skyler Samuels is taking over the role as the younger version of the character, and the Scream Queens vet revealed whether or not she reached out to her predecessor after she initially landed the role.
Aurora Teagarden Mysteries: Something New sees a young Aurora in her hometown of Lawrenceton after college, where her mother Aida struggles with her real estate business. Aurora, meanwhile, juggles between being a teacher’s assistant and a waitress while also sharing her love of true crime with Police Officer Arthur and her friend Sally. While the new movie still follows Aurora, it will feel somewhat new because it takes place in the past.
