Hallmark Star Makes Rare on-Camera Plea for ‘Curious Caterer’ Series
Andrew Walker, 46, revealed exclusive details about the stalled Curious Caterer franchise in a recent interview. The Canadian actor told Us Weekly in April that scripts are written and the team stands ready to film. However, he emphasized that Hallmark executives must greenlight production first. Walker made an unusual plea, telling fans they need to contact the network directly.
“Message Hallmark and go to the chat groups,” Walker said, encouraging the loyal fan base to voice their demands. He explained that fan pressure could be the deciding factor. “Tell them how much you’re missing Curious Caterer,” he added, making it clear that executive approval, not cast availability, is the roadblock.

Scripts Ready for Mystery Franchise Expansion
The most exciting detail Walker shared is that production is prepared. “I’ve been told we might get some more episodes back,” he revealed, confirming that scripts are finalized and waiting. Walker emphasized his own readiness, stating, “We’re ready to go” and noting that his schedule is completely open. He explained that he has nothing planned and could begin filming immediately once Hallmark makes the announcement.
Walker teased that new scripts will expand Goldy and Tom’s relationship significantly. The characters shared their first kiss in “Foiled Plans” (2024), and fans have been eager to see their romance develop further. Walker promised more intimate storylines between the leads, plus expanded roles for supporting characters like Marla Maguire and Deputy Mason.

Behind-the-Scenes Stall Leaves Fans Frustrated After 18-Month Wait
The Curious Caterer franchise’s silence has frustrated devoted viewers. The fifth film, “Drumstick Drama,” aired in October 2024, more than 18 months ago. Walker revealed earlier last summer that studios promised 2026 releases, but those plans never materialized. Walker’s latest statements suggest Hallmark management changes may have shifted priorities away from mystery franchises.
Despite the delay, Walker remains optimistic. He confirmed that both he and DeLoach are emotionally invested in returning to the series. Walker emphasized that the beloved co-stars want to explore deeper character arcs and relationship development. He also expressed enthusiasm about building out supporting cast storylines that fans have grown attached to over years of viewership.
Will Hallmark Hear Fans’ Call for Curious Caterer Return in 2026?
The ball is now in Hallmark’s court, according to Walker’s latest update. The actor directly challenged fans to become advocates, making it clear that viewer demand could determine the franchise’s future. Walker’s candidness suggests internal hesitation at the network level, despite completed scripts and willing cast. This puts unprecedented power in the hands of devoted viewers who have supported the series since 2022.
Industry observers note this is an unusual move for an established franchise with proven ratings. Walker’s decision to publicly ask fans to contact Hallmark suggests behind-the-scenes resistance that fan outreach might overcome. The mystery series remains one of Hallmark’s strongest-performing franchises among core audiences, making the delay even more puzzling to supporters and entertainment analysts alike.
