Last May Hallmark indicated its intentions of entering the scripted drama market by ordering a pilot based on the books in the "Cedar Cove" series of cross-genre, sometimes romantic, sometimes suspense novels by Debbie Macomber.
Today we're learning that the pilot already produced will serve as the two-hour opener for a full series order, which will air on January 19th, 2013. Production is underway in Vancouver for the subsequent episodes of Cedar Cove, which do not yet have a scheduled premiere date.
Andie MacDowell stars as Judge Olivia Lockhart, who is introduced in the first book of the series, 16 Lighthouse Road.

The Cedar Cove Series
Dear Reader,
You don't know me yet, but in a few hours that's going to change. You see, I'm inviting you to my home and my town of Cedar Cove because I want you to meet my family, friends and neighbors. Come and hear their stories — maybe even their secrets!
I have to admit that my own secrets are pretty open. My marriage failed some years ago, and I have a rather … difficult relationship with my daughter, Justine. Then there's my mother, Charlotte, who has plenty of opinions and is always willing to share them.
Here's an example: I'm a family court judge and she likes to drop in on my courtroom. Recently I was hearing a divorce petition. In Charlotte's view, young Cecilia and Ian Randall hadn't tried hard enough to make their marriage work—and I agreed. So I rendered my judgment: Divorce Denied.
Well, you wouldn't believe the reaction! Thanks to an article by Jack Griffin, the editor of our local paper (and a man I wouldn't mind seeing more of!), everyone's talking.
Cedar Cove — people love it and sometimes they leave it, but they never forget it!
See you soon …
Olivia Lockhart
