A Murder becomes personal for a Rhode Island society page writer in 1895 who witnesses a murder while attending a ball and her brother is arrested when Ali Skovbye (“Firefly Lane”), Danny Griffin (“Fate: The Winx Saga”) and Nathan Witte (“Cut, Color, Murder”) star in “Gilded Newport Mysteries: Murder at the Breakers,” a new original premiering Friday, February 2 (9 p.m. ET/PT), on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries.
It’s July 1895 and the New York elite have decamped to Newport, Rhode Island for a summer of balls, garden parties, and yacht races. Covering these events for the women’s pages of the Newport Observer is Emma Vanderbilt-Cross (Skovbye), a fearless 21-year-old writer with family ties to the wealthy Vanderbilt family. But writing articles about food and fashion is the last thing on Emma’s mind when her half-brother Brady Cross (James Drew Dean, “Marry Go Round”) is arrested for the murder of Goddard (Cesare Scarpone, “The Bold Type”), the long-time Vanderbilt business advisor. She decides to take matters into her own hands and sets out to prove her half-brother’s innocence, discovering Goddard had more than his fair share of enemies. As Emma investigates with the help of police detective and crush Jesse Whyte (Griffin), housekeeper Nanny O’Neal (Gillian Barber, “Chesapeake Shores”) and coroner’s assistant Harriet Rice (Amira Anderson, “Foragers”), she’s plunged into a word of intrigue and danger – while attracting the attention of the town’s mysterious new stranger (Witte). As Emma grows closer to the truth, Goddard’s true murderer goes on the offensive, willing to stop at nothing to keep their identity a secret.

John Cassini, Allen Lewis, Sunta Izzicupo, James Walsh, Michael Shepard served as executive producers along with producer Charles Cooper.
