Sarah Drew and Peter Mooney will be back on Hallmark Channel TONIGHT (November 7) for the second season of their holiday mystery series Mistletoe Murders, which returns after the cliffhanger ending for the first season.
The first season premiered one year ago on the streaming service Hallmark+ and it aired over the past three weeks on Hallmark Channel. Now, the second season will debut on the network before being added to the streaming service one day later.
At the end of the first season, holiday store owner Emily Lane (Drew) and detective Sam Wilner (Mooney) expressed their feelings for one another and shared a passionate kiss, but moments later Sam gets a phone call and learns that Emily had been lying to him about her identity. The season ends with him asking, “Who are you really?” So, what can we expect in season two?

While fans probably have hoped that Emily and Sam would quickly work through the issues, we already know that they spend a full year avoiding each other after that moment.
The season two premiere’s synopsis reads: “After a year of avoidance, Emily and Sam reunite to solve the disappearance of the school chess coach, triggering echoes of Emily’s past.”
Sarah told Parade that we can expect to learn more about Emily’s backstory in season two.
“I think Season 2 is actually even better than Season 1,” she said. “We delve further into Emily’s backstory with some really fun flashbacks that move through many years of her life. The audience will get a more layered love story between Emily and Sam, given that there’s a major roadblock to them being happily together. We’ll see them fired up and fighting, but always with undertones of attraction. It’s pretty fun. We’ll also have all of the cozy Christmas goodness that Hallmark Channel viewers love, plus some very fun guest star surprises.”
