History
With over a dozen films planned, the Flower Shop Mysteries series came to an abrupt end when Shields left her contract with Hallmark. She wrote in 2025 that she had decided being a Hallmark star was not the future she wanted. Shields also wrote of her belief that a comedy element she valued had already diminished by the third installment of the series.[6]
