Bonjour, friends! Have you heard the news? Lacey Chabert will be filming a new limited series for Hallmark+. (Hallmark's streaming platform)

The series, titled Paris is Always a Good Idea, will shoot on location in Paris and Spain, and the story is based on Jenn McKinlay's novel of the same name.

So... if you've been following along, then you know Lacey has already had a very busy year filming for Hallmark! In late February, she finished filming her Countdown to Christmas movie, Holiday Ever After: A Disney World Wish Come True, on location in Florida with Travis Van Winkle and Christy Carlson Romano. They had been filming for 3 months, since early December 2025! (with holiday breaks, I'm sure.)

Last Fall, in September, Lacey Chabert filmed Lost in Paradise with Ian Harding in Fiji, which was the first rom-com premiere for Hallmark for 2026, and I must say, it is such a delightful movie, intriguing and entertaining, with excellent chemistry and fantastic, witty banter.

And now... Lacey is off to film abroad in Paris and Spain for this new adventure!

Does this series sound enticing to you?

Would you be tempted to subscribe to Hallmark+ to watch it?

Or if you already have Hallmark+, are you planning to add this one to your must-see list?

At this moment, I don’t currently have Hallmark+, but I’m hoping/planning to subscribe again soon, especially with the new frontier series, Hope Valley 1874, on the way! That alone has me so intrigued.

And if you haven’t heard, there’s a wonderful offer right now for new Hallmark+ subscribers. When you use the code HOPE50, you’ll receive 50% off the annual subscription (available through March 26th). Such a great deal!

I also wanted to share that one of the Amazon reviews for the book Paris Is Always a Good Idea mentions that the novel includes what they describe as “graphic sexual content.” Of course, even if that content is part of the book, it doesn’t mean it will be included in the series adaptation. We’ve seen in other book-to-film projects that Hallmark has adjusted certain elements to better fit their audience and style. I simply wanted to pass this along so you’re aware - as far the book goes. I would never expect Hallmark to include any graphic scenes in their productions; it's just not fitting to their brand.

I’m truly hoping Paris is Always a Good Idea turns out to be a beautiful, memorable series. I can already picture Lacey in the most gorgeous dresses… and since it’s being filmed in Paris, I’m fully expecting at least a beret or two! I mean, when in Rome, or rather, when in Paris! Right?

Hope you enjoyed
