A new romantic adventure is underway as production begins on “Paris is Always a Good Idea” starring and executive produced by beloved Hallmark fan-favorite Lacey Chabert (“She’s Making a List,” “Mean Girls”), Scott Michael Foster (“Return to Office,” “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend”), Rebecca Hanssen (“The Witcher,” “Love Through a Prism”), Henry Czerny (“Revenge,” “Ready or Not”) and Barbara Niven (“Chesapeake Shores,” “The Christmas Baby”). Based on the bestselling romance novel of the same name by Jenn McKinlay, the six-episode limited series is shooting on location in Paris and Spain, it was announced today.

Rounding out the dynamic ensemble cast are Stephen Hagan (“Love of the Irish”), Julien Marlon Samani (“An Alpine Holiday”) and Alejandro Albarracín (“Dreams of Freedom”). Fans can look forward to a captivating story that brings together a talented cast and the charm of international settings, making it a must-watch event this season.

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 (Hanssen) – 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.

“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.”

“Paris is Always a Good Idea” is produced by Dynamic Television and Clapperboard Studios. Executive producers are Chabert, 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 McKinlay.
