Lacey Chabert is enjoying a well-deserved day off in the “City of Love.”
The Hallmark leading lady is embracing Paris in a new video shared on her social media, taking fans along as she and her co-star Rebecca Hanssen make the most of their break from filming “Paris Is Always a Good Idea.” This will be a six-episode limited series for Hallmark+ based on the best-selling romance novel by Jenn McKinlay.
Chabert & Her TV-Sister Hanssen Adventure Around Paris
“Paris je t’aime! Love days off exploring Paris with my TV sister @rebecca.hanssen . Can’t wait for you all to see what we’ve been working on! 💗” wrote Chabert in the caption of her March 20 Instagram post.
“It’s my day off in Paris, and I’m gonna go explore. Let’s go,” Chabert said to the camera. The reel included Natalie Cole’s “This Will Be (An Everlasting Love)” playing over clips of Chabert and Hanssen exploring the “City of Love,” showing off the sights they visited and the food they ate during their adventure.
Several of Chabert’s fellow Hallmark stars left their support for her day off in the comments:
Kristoffer Polaha, one of Hallmark’s leading men from several projects such as “A Biltmore Christmas” and “Rocky Mountain Christmas,” wrote “Dream gig! ❤️❤️❤️”
Will Kemp, another Hallmark leading man known for films such as “Jolly Good Christmas” and “Royal Matchmaker” added, “❤️🙌👏 Enjoy!!” Chabert and Kemp have starred in several popular Hallmark Channel movies together, including “The Dancing Detective: A Deadly Tango,” “Christmas Waltz,” and “Love, Romance & Chocolate.”
Melissa Peterman, lead judge on the reality competition show “Finding Mr. Christmas” and star of the “Haul Out the Halloween” series wrote, “❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”
When a fan asked in the comments, “Are you filming this for a movie? Or is this just a trip ? . Hope you have a lovely time,” Chabert responded, “I’m filming a new 6-part series for @hallmarkplus called ‘Paris Is Always A Good Idea.'”
Everything We Know About ‘Paris Is Always A Good Idea’ So Far
The six-episode show’s official synopsis from Hallmark Channel reads, “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.”
Chabert will be joined on location in Paris and Spain by Scott Michael Foster, as well as Barbara Niven, Henry Czerny, and Rebecca Hanssen, according to PEOPLE. Foster has been in Hallmark projects such as “Return to Office,” and “Love, For Real.” Czerny has starred in “The Russell Girl,” which is a movie part of the “Hallmark Hall of Fame.” Niven has starred in several Hallmark projects over the years, including “Chesapeake Shores,” “Cedar Cove,” “USS Christmas,” four installments of Hallmark Channel’s “Christmas in Evergreen” Hallmark Movies & Mysteries’ “Crossword Mysteries,” and the “Hannah Swensen Mystery” (formerly “Murder, She Baked”) franchise. “Paris Is Always a Good Idea” will be Hanssen’s first project with Hallmark.
The ensemble cast will also include Stephen Hagan, Julien Marlon Samani, and Alejandro Albarracín.
Chabert also serves as an executive producer on the series.
“Paris Is Always a Good Idea” will be coming to Hallmark+ later this year, according to PEOPLE.
