Karen Pittman To Star In First Hallmark Mahogany Movie ‘Unthinkably Good Things’
Variety is reporting that actress Karen Pittman (And Just Like That, The Morning Show) will star in Unthinkably Good Things, Hallmark’s first movie under the new Mahogany banner. The shingle will continue to celebrate the core values of family, community, and love from the perspective of the Black community. Co-stars include Joyful Drake, Erica ASh, Jermaine Love and Lance Gross.
The film, set to debut on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, sees a woman named Allison (Pittman) at a crossroads in her career and love life, in need of the love and support of her two friends Melina (Joyful Drake) and Reesa (Erica Ash). When they visit her in Tuscany, the reunion causes each woman to reexamine the state of her own life and relationships. While they have different personalities and perspectives, they know each other’s truths and help to make life-changing decisions.
“Unthinkably Good Things” is being shot on location in Italy. Terri J. Vaughn directs a script by Cas Sigers-Beedles. The film is a Crown Media Production. Korin D. Williams, Monique Nash and Cristina Giubbetti serve as executive producers with David Wulf as producer.
Pittman is best known for starring as Mia Jordan in the “The Morning Show,” which nabbed a SAG Award nomination for its ensemble earlier this year. She also joined HBO Max’s “Sex and the City” revival, “And Just Like That…,” playing Miranda’s (Cynthia Nixon) professor Dr. Nya Wallace and “Yellowstone” for Season 3 as Willa Hays. Drake’s recent roles include “Let’s Stay Together” and “The Quad,” while Ash is known for “Survivor’s Remorse” and “Uncle Drew.” Love’s recent credits include “Outer Banks” and “Rogue Warfare,” while Gross has starred in “House of Payne” and “Our Kind of People.”
