In one of her many conversations, Skyler revealed if she spoke to or reached out to Candace Cameron Bure, who originated the on-screen character, at all.
The first prequel movie for the popular mystery series will debut TONIGHT, at 9 p.m. on the network, with Skyler Samuels taking over the title role.
Here’s the full summary: Post-college, Young Aurora Teagarden (Samuels) finds herself back home near her mother, Aida (Marilu Henner) in Lawrenceton to pursue her grad degree. Working as a teacher’s assistant in a crime fiction class, Aurora is struggling to settle on a thesis.
To support her schooling and life, Aurora also waitresses at the local diner at night, where she shares her love of researching true crime with her friend Sally (Kayla Heller), who is set to be married, and police officer Arthur (Evan Roderick).
When Sally’s fiancé doesn’t show up at the wedding rehearsal, Maid of Honor Aurora gets Arthur to help her search for him. When they discover a body, everyone assumes it is Sally’s tardy groom, but when it turns out to be someone else, Sally’s fiancé becomes the main suspect.
