I can’t wait for you to see You’re Killing Me in early 2026 on AMC & Acorn. Brooke Shields, Amalia Williamson (Sullivan’s Crossing) and Tom Cavanagh (Ed, The Flash, etc) are terrific in this light-hearted mystery series, created by Robin Bernheim. The six episodes are written by her and co-exec producers Derek Thompson (When Calls the Heart, Murder in a Small Town), Phoef Sutton (Cheers, Darrow & Darrow, Boston Legal etc) and yours truly.
Robin and I have known each other for over thirty years and have worked together many times, including co-creating the hit Hallmark series Mystery 101 together. We both shared a mentor in Michael Gleason, who created Remington Steele, where Robin began her career, before going on to shows like Quantum Leap, Star Trek-TNG, When Calls the Heart, and many, many more.
She also wrote Mother of the Bride, the hit movie that starred Brooke Shields, who she befriended way back on Quantum Leap. And she worked with Derek Thompson for years on When Calls The Heart. Derek is a terrific writer and a great guy. It was immediately clear to me why Robin wanted to work with him again. Phoef Sutton and I are close friends. He’s a multiple Emmy Award winner and we worked together on Darrow & Darrow, a Hallmark series he created and that co-starred Tom Cavanagh (though the two scripts that Phoef and I co-wrote for it weren’t shot because of the Covid-19 shut-down). It’s a fantastic writing staff.
In You’re Killing Me, Brooke plays an internationally bestselling author who, through a series of unusual events, teams up with Amalia, a young, true-crime vblogger to co-author books…and solve puzzling murders. Tom plays the local cop.
We’re in the final weeks of shooting season one up in Nova Scotia and the dailies, and first cuts, are soooo good. Lot of laughs, fun detecting, and some real heart.
