It looks like production is underway for the third installment of Hallmark’s Graceland film series! Last year, Kellie Pickler and Wes Brown starred in “Christmas at Graceland” as exes who reunite during the holiday season at Elvis Presley’s former home, Graceland. The success of the film paved the way for a sequel, “Wedding at Graceland”, which Pickler and Brown returned for; it premiere last month during Hallmark Channel’s June Weddings programming.

While it was previously speculated that the third film would reunite Pickler and Brown once again, it appears that Adrian Grenier (HBO’s “Entourage”) and Kaitlin Doubleday (FOX’s “Empire”) will lead “Christmas at Graceland 2”, which will have an original story and not be a continuance of the previous installments.

Commercial Appeal has announced that filming will begin on July 18 and wrap in August, according to Ryan Westheimer, the film’s co-producer who served in the same role for the previous films.

The plot of this new movie will find Doubleday’s character as a Graceland tour guide who meets Griener’s character, who asks her to nanny his three children. She accepts and stays at his guesthouse and, as you can imagine, the pair develop romantic feelings for one another.

It is Hallmark, after all.

“Christmas at Graceland 2” will premiere on Hallmark Channel during the annual Countdown to Christmas, which is set to kick off the last week of October.

Stay merry!

Following the success of last year’s original movie “Christmas at Graceland”, starring Kellie Pickler and Wes Brown as Laurel and Clay — former Memphis sweethearts who rekindled their romance during the most wonderful time of the year at Elvis Presley‘s mansion — Crown Media Family Networks have ordered two more sequels set to air this year.

“Wedding at Graceland” finds Laurel (Pickler) accepting Clay’s (Brown) marriage proposal only to discover they can get married at the Graceland Chapel in three weeks or wait 18 months for the next opening. In addition when Laurel and Clay’s family meet the two families discover they are more different than alike.

Kellie Pickler is making her Hallmark Channel debut during Countdown to Christmas 2018 starring as Laurel in “Christmas at Graceland” (premieres November 17th!), which was filmed on location at Elvis Presley‘s former home -aka- Memphis, Tennessee’s most popular attraction.

For a performance scene, Laurel hits the stage wearing a beautiful tea-length red dress with a bateau neckline and an a-line silhouette that’s quintessential holiday cocktail attire. I imagine many will be looking for a dress just like this for an upcoming festive event, and guess what? I found it!

She wore the Adrianna Papell Sleeveless V-Back Tea Length Dress, which is sold out in many places already, but I saw it still in stock at NewYorkersApparel.com. (FYI: It has pockets!!)

Back in July, the Hallmark Channel aired the “Christmas: A First Look” Preview Special hosted by Lacey Chabert that gave viewers a peek at some of the movies set to premiere on the network and sister network Hallmark Movies & Mysteries this holiday season. It was very exciting to get a little snippet of what yuletide cheer was in store for all of us, but due to the high volume of interest as well as the amount of films set to debut, Hallmark will be airing another special to talk about some of the recently announced films.

“Christmas: A Second Look Preview Special” will provide a continuation of the sneak peeks for the Countdown to Christmas and Miracles of Christmas original movies and, this time, it will be hosted by Kellie Pickler. The country music top-charter will make her own Countdown to Christmas debut this November in “Christmas in Graceland”.

“Christmas: A Second Look” this Saturday, September 29th at 11PM / 10c on Hallmark Channel.

Stay merry!

It’s going to be a ‘Blue Christmas’ this holiday season when Kellie Pickler heads to Elvis Presley’s former home for an all-new original movie! The Country singer is making her Hallmark Channel festive debut in “Christmas At Graceland”, which is set to premiere on the network later this year during the Countdown To Christmas holiday programming.

Synopsis: Laurel (Pickler), a Chicago-based business executive travels to Memphis to secure one of the city’s oldest family-owned banks. While in Memphis, Laurel reunites with an old flame Clay, a local music promoter with loftier aspirations. Though Laurel tries to keep her eye on the prize of the business acquisition, Clay is very persuasive reminding her of the days when they were a performing duo on the brink of stardom. Now Laurel’s focus turns to the home of the Blues and dreams of making music again.

The movie will feature music made famous by Presley, and will shoot on location at his historic home in Memphis, Tennessee. Look for more info on this film as we get closer to October!

Stay merry!
