- Carol Kane, Fiona Gubelmann, and Marco Grazzini have been cast in Hallmark Channel's new original movie 'An Angel in My Stocking,' with production beginning this week in Vancouver, British Columbia.
- The film is set to premiere during Hallmark's annual Countdown to Christmas programming event.
- The plot follows Amanda (Gubelmann) and Jack (Grazzini), who married after a three-month whirlwind romance, saw their first Christmas together end in disaster, divorced after three years, and are now stranded together in the remote Vermont town of Pinecone Lake after a plane diversion.
- Kane plays Margaret, a quirky traveler who vanishes from the flight without anyone noticing, then reappears in Pinecone Lake to convince Amanda she is in fact her lifelong guardian angel — a figure only Amanda can see.
- Ali Liebert directs from a script by Kathy Kloves, who executive produces alongside Risa Shapiro and Samantha Sprecher for Hallmark Media.
Why it matters: Hallmark's Countdown to Christmas is the network's signature commercial event, and landing Kane — an Oscar nominee and two-time Emmy winner whose recent credits include Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and Anxious People — gives the movie a prestige boost atypical of the network's rom-com fare. For Kane, the role signals continued mainstream reach beyond prestige TV and expands Hallmark's talent bench for the holiday slate.
