- Steve Callaghan's Trivia Night Mysteries franchise completed production on its second and third installments, "Fit for a Murder" and "A Fatal Lesson," both written by the Emmy-nominated Family Guy writer and showrunner
- Morgan Bradley and Alex Trumble reprise their lead roles as amateur sleuth Sara Keane and lawyer Reid Taggart in both new TV movies; Vincenzo Conrorio directs
- The franchise's first film, "Trivia Night Mysteries: A Question of Murder," makes its TV and streaming premiere in 2027, with the two follow-ups slated for release later that same year and pre-production already underway on additional chapters
- Nicely Entertainment founder and CEO Vanessa Shapiro called the franchise a "marquee feel-good" property with "international appeal," framing the double wrap as evidence of momentum behind the series
- Callaghan conceived the premise by combining his lifelong love of whodunits with a personal Zoom trivia hobby he launched during the pandemic lockdown to keep friends connected
- The announcement lands ahead of MIPCOM Cannes next month, where Nicely will shop its catalog to international buyers alongside its other cozy properties including The Abigail Mysteries and The Christmas Recipe Files
Why it matters: Nicely Entertainment is staging a three-film pipeline behind a single cozy mystery franchise ahead of MIPCOM Cannes, giving its international sales team a unified pitch — and the Trivia Night Mysteries expansion signals continued consolidation around the feel-good mystery genre that has anchored the company's deals at Great American Family and QVC+.
