Hallmark Picks Up Limited Series 'Paris Is Always a Good Idea' Starring Lacey Chabert and Scott Michael Foster

Hallmark has today given a series order to the original limited series Paris Is Always a Good Idea starring Lacey Chabert (She's Making a List) and Scott Michael Foster (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend). Production on the six-episode series will occur in Paris and Spain.





Based on the novel by Jenn McKinlay, career-driven nonprofit executive Chelsea Martin (Chabert) travels to Paris with her confident rival-turned-ally, Jason Knightly (Foster), to secure a major donation but a heartfelt message from her late mother - and a loving push from her sister Annabelle - sends her on an unexpected journey to reconnect with the three great loves she once left behind. From the rolling hills of Ireland to the magic of Paris and the sun-kissed vineyards of Spain, Chelsea retraces old footsteps and discovers that sometimes moving forward means first looking back.

In addition to Chabert and Foster, the cast will include Rebecca Hanssen, Henry Czerny, Barbara Niven, Stephen Hagan, Julien Marlon Samani and Alejandro Albarracín.

Heidi Cole McAdams and Lauren Muir developed the series. They will executive produce with Chabert, Carrie Stein, Daniel March, Mike Benson and Rachel Gesua. Dynamic Television and Clapperboard Studios will produce.

"We can't wait for viewers to come along on Chelsea's journey of self-discovery, healing and - of course - unforgettable romance," said Michelle Vicary, Head of Programming, Hallmark Media. "We know Lacey will bring a warmth and authenticity that will draw viewers into Chelsea's world as she goes down this exciting path that ultimately leads her to the love she didn't know she was looking for."
