After the nail-biting ending of Season 2, the show will continue its storyline in the upcoming season. At the end of the last season, we witnessed Emily and Sam develop a romantic connection.

Vicary, in her statement, acknowledges the show’s potential as well as the strong audience fanbase it has garnered over time. She also makes a crucial point that this show is much more than just a toasty holiday tale. In fact, the story is a lot about Emily. Therefore, the upcoming season will explore more about her backstory.

The production companies involved in the project are Headspinner Productions and Lionsgate Canada. Lionsgate Television is overseeing the global sales of Mistletoe Murders.

The showrunner of the series is Ken Cuperus, who also serves as its executive producer. Joining him in producing the series, we have the President of Television at Lionsgate, Jocelyn Hamilton. Along with them, we have Michelle Melanson and the lead star, Sarah Drew herself. Hamilton expresses her excitement as the series is renewed for the next season by stating:

“Season three of Mistletoe Murders represents everything we love about working with Hallmark: a shared commitment to entertaining storytelling, beloved characters, and holiday magic that resonates with audiences year after year.
