Dynamic Television and Clapperboard Studios have been commissioned by Hallmark Media to produce Paris Is Always a Good Idea, a new (6 x 60’) limited romance series.
Originated and developed by Dynamic Television, the series will be co-produced by Dynamic Television and Clapperboard Studios, with Dynamic handling worldwide distribution, excluding the U.S.
Starring Lacey Chabert (She’s Making a List, Mean Girls), Scott Michael Foster (Return to Office, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend), and Rebecca Hanssen (The Witcher, Love Through a Prism), the series is adapted from the popular novel of the same name by Jenn McKinlay and follows a workaholic young woman who reluctantly returns to Paris with her family and her office rival “only to be sent on an emotional, life-changing journey across Europe to reconnect with the three men she fell in love with seven years ago during her gap year.”
The series is currently shooting on location in Paris and Spain and is expected to premiere later this year.
“Paris Is Always a Good Idea has heart, humor, and a story that travels, everything we look for in a global romance,” said Carrie Stein, President of Global Scripted Television, Dynamic Television. “Lacey brings enormous charm to the role, and we’re excited to work with Clapperboard Studios on a project that feels distinctly Hallmark and offers strong worldwide appeal.”
Rachel Gesua, Senior Executive Producer for Clapperboard Studios, comments: “We are delighted to be co-producing the screen adaptation of Paris Is Always a Good Idea with the brilliant team at Dynamic Television. It’s Clapperboard’s first show for Hallmark and we’re telling a truly global story, filled with fun, joy and heart. You’ll want to be on the journey with our main character Chelsea as she travels to Paris, Dublin, Boston and Spain to find love.”
