\n\t\u201cI conceived of the premise, world, and central characters of Trivia Night Mysteries<\/em> by combining my lifelong love of whodunnits with my experience writing and hosting weekly Zoom trivia quizzes as a personal hobby I took upon myself to help friends stay connected during the pandemic lockdown,\u201d said Callaghan. <\/p>\n\n\t\u201cNow seeing my initial concept grow into an ongoing series of multiple movies has been incredibly rewarding, and I\u2019m enormously thrilled and grateful that my two leads, Sara and Reid, will be continuing their crime-solving and romantic adventures.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cTrivia Night Mysteries<\/em> has all the ingredients of a marquee feel-good franchise: brilliant writing, magnetic characters, genuine heart, and clever whodunits that leave audiences constantly guessing,\u201d added Vanessa Shapiro, founder and CEO of Nicely. <\/p>\n\n\t\u201cSuccessfully wrapping production on both movies number two and number three speaks volumes about the momentum behind this property. We fully believe in the international appeal of these stories, and we can\u2019t wait to bring these next chapters to fans around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Trivia Night Mysteries<\/em> series follows freelance fact-checker and team trivia champion Keane, whose exceptional trivia knowledge and instinct for finding the right answer make her an unlikely but highly effective amateur detective. She works closely with charming, new-to-town lawyer Taggart, who becomes her increasingly close partner in crime-solving.<\/p>\n\n\tIn Trivia Night Mysteries: Fit for a Murder<\/em>, Keane is hired for a fact-checking job on a series of articles about women\u2019s health for a national fitness magazine, only to discover her editor\u2019s body, apparently having been strangled. As she begins to investigate, she needs to piece together the editor\u2019s final days to unmask the killer.<\/p>\n\n\tTrivia Night Mysteries: A Fatal Lesson<\/em> will see Keane attends an auction fundraiser for the school where her mother serves as Vice Principal, only for the school superintendent to be pushed to his death. Keane, Taggart and the rest of the trivia team dig into the administrator\u2019s backstory to reveal the murderer\u2019s motive and identity.<\/p>\n\n\tShapiro and Scott Kirkpatrick, EVP of Distribution and Co-Productions at Nicely, serve as executive producers on the Trivia Night Mysteries<\/em> movie series, with Callaghan another EP and the showrunner.<\/p>\n\n\tFocused on feel-good entertainment, Nicely makes cozy mysteries such as The Abigail Mysteries<\/em> for Great American Family and Great American Pure Flix and The Christmas Recipe Files<\/em> for QVC+, which also starred Bradley. It also makes Crossroad Springs<\/em>, which has been renewed for a second season by Great American Media.<\/p>\n\n\tCallaghan remains a writer and executive producer for Family Guy<\/em>, having worked on the series since its inception and spending nearly seven seasons as its showrunner.
