Cedar Cove is the newest original series from the Hallmark Channel. The television adaptation of the  Cedar Cove Novel Series, by #1 New York Times best selling author Debbie Macomber, follows the story of Olivia Lockhart, a judge and single mother trying to raise her family in a quiet coastal town. But life has a few surprises in store for her as she faces the chaos of Cedar Cove Municipal Court.

[zilla_alert style=”white”] In “Debbie Macomber’s Cedar Cove,” Andie MacDowell plays Judge Olivia Lockhart, whose Cedar Cove Municipal Court is the professional milieu and social microcosm of issues the judge will face in her own day-to-day life with family and friends. Jack Griffith (Dylan Neal), the editor of the Cedar Cove Chronicle, is a new friend and potential love interest for Judge Lockhart.

In the series premiere, Judge Lockhart is overjoyed to hear that her name is being put forth for appointment to a Federal judgeship in Seattle by her longtime friend, Senator Pete Albertson. Olivia asks that her family keep the news a secret. In the meantime, Jack Griffith, desperate for a meaningful news story, corners Olivia’s mother who inadvertently tells the editor about everything in her daughter’s life – including the possible appointment.

Suddenly, Olivia (much to her chagrin) is front page news. How will her family, and the rest of the town, react to the potential changes in Olivia’s life? [/zilla_alert]

Cast: Andie MacDowell, Dylan Neal, Teryl Rothery, Bruce Boxleitner, Barbara Niven, Brennan Elliot, Paula Shaw, Sarah Smyth.
