HALLMARK CHANNEL ANNOUNCES PRODUCTION HAS BEGUN ON AN ALL-NEW MOVIE, "LOVE, CLASSIFIED"

Melora Hardin, Arienne Mandi, Katherine McNamara and Max Lloyd-Jones are Finding Modern Romance the Old-Fashioned Way In "Love, Classified"

STUDIO CITY, CA - February 15, 2022 - Get ready to 'swipe right' as production has begun on, "Love, Classified" for Hallmark Channel. The movie stars Melora Hardin ("The Office"), Arienne Mandi ("The L Word: Generation Q") and Katherine McNamara ("Shadowhunters") and is scheduled to premiere on Hallmark Channel this April.

Romance novelist Emilia (Hardin) is a whirlwind who blows back into the lives of her adult children, Taylor (McNamara) and Zach (Max Lloyd-Jones, "War for the Planet of the Apes"), under the pretense of a book signing arranged by her hometown's local book shop. As Emilia tries to reconnect, Taylor and Zach explore new and past relationships through an app that boasts old-fashioned human connection by way of the classified ad. Zach is given a chance to heal old wounds while Taylor matches with a woman that changes the way she's always thought about love.

"This is such a fun story from writer Lynn Sternberger, that is ultimately a story of love, family and commitment in all its forms. With a cast that includes Melora Hardin, Arienne Mandi, Katherine McNamara and Max Lloyd-Jones to help bring this movie to life will no doubt put a smile on the faces of our viewers this spring." Said Lisa Hamilton Daly, EVP Programming Crown Media Family Networks.

"Love, Classified" is from producer Neal Dodson with Stacey Harding directing from a script by Lynn Sternberger.
