Paris is always a good idea. Well, at least we think it is. We’d never pass up a chance to go to Paris – even if it’s just in the movies. Thankfully, Hallmark is taking us to Paris with their upcoming limited series, Paris Is Always A Good Idea.
Starring Lacey Chabert (Mean Girls) and Scott Michael Foster (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend), the series is based on the bestselling novel by Jenn McKinlay and takes viewers on a heartfelt journey through Paris, Ireland, and Spain filled with love, self-discovery, and second chances. The six-episode series is one that we can’t wait to see.
THE CAST
In addition to Chabert and Foster, the ensemble cast of Paris Is Always A Good Idea includes Rebecca Hanssen (The Witcher), Henry Czerny (Ready or Not), Barbara Niven (Chesapeake Shores), Stephen Hagan (Love of the Irish), Julien Marlon Samani (An Alpine Holiday) and Alejandro Albarracín (Dreams of Freedom).
THE SYNOPSIS
Career-driven nonprofit executive Chelsea Martin (Chabert) travels to Paris to secure a major donor and is shocked when her confident rival-turned-ally, Jason Knightly (Foster) is sent to join her. While in Paris, an unexpected and heartfelt message from her late mother — and a push from her father (Czerny) and her sister (Hanssen) — sends her on an unexpected journey to reconnect with the three past loves she once left behind in Europe. 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.
WHEN CAN YOU WATCH
The series will premiere Thursday, July 30, with the first two episodes, followed by a new episode every Thursday through August 27, exclusively on Hallmark+ as the streamer continues its ongoing commitment to debuting new programming on the service.
Paris is Always a Good Idea is produced by Dynamic Television and Clapperboard Studios. Executive producers are Carrie Stein, Daniel March, Mike Benson, Rachel Gesua, Heidi Cole McAdams and Lauren Muir, who also serves as showrunner. The series is written by McAdams and Muir and is based on the novel of the same name by Jenn McKinlay.
