“Aaahhhhh one of my favorite shows!!!!” one said.

“You go Lori!! Yayyy, it’s the news I’ve been waiting for!! I can’t wait!! Bring on fall!” another added, while a third referred to the announcement as, “the best news of the summer!”

Based on the book series by Suzi Weinert, the movie adaptation consisted of 16 films starring Loughlin, as Jennifer Shannon, starting in 2013. The film series was brought to a halt upon the Full House star’s involvement and subsequent arrest in the college admissions scandal, which led to her going to jail for two months in 2020.

While an exact release date for the movie was not announced, she mentioned that Garage Sale Mysteries will be available to on The Hallmark Channel and Hallmark+ the next day.

“It’s just so nice to be back with my family,” she said of returning to the show, in a surprise appearance at the Hallmark Christmas Experience in Kansas City, Mo., in December. “It feels amazing and my girl [Erin Krakow] here has been championing this for a long time. I just want to thank everyone at Hallmark for being so loving and so welcoming… And this just feels incredible.”

Loughlin also starred in TV rom-com Fall Into Winter on the Great American Family channel and Hallmark’s A Christmas Blessing in 2023. She also made a cameo on Curb Your Enthusiasm in 2024 and has continued her work with Project Angel Food, according to fan footage of the charity’s recent telethon.
