Sadie Robertson of “Duck Dynasty” also Stars Part of the Network’s Popular, Annual “Summer Nights” Programming Event



STUDIO CITY, CA – July 18, 2017 – Tricia Helfer (“Lucifer,” “Suits”) and Paul Campbell (“Knight Rider”) star in “Sun, Sand & Romance,” a new, original movie premiering Saturday, August 26 (9 p.m. ET/PT) on Hallmark Channel as part of the network’s annual, popular “Summer Nights” programming event celebrating the fun of the season.  Joining Helfer and Campbell are Scott Elrod (“Grey’s Anatomy,” “Chicago Fire”) and Sadie Robertson (“Duck Dynasty”).  Kate (Helfer), a driven accounting executive, heads to Cancun with her boyfriend Eric (Elrod), an equally ambitious land development executive, for some much-needed rest and relaxation.  But the getaway they agreed would be 90 percent romance and just 10 percent work becomes anything but that.  Upon arrival, Eric learns a prominent real estate developer is a guest in their resort.  Wanting to seize the opportunity for potential business, Eric chases this new venture and leaves Kate to her own devices time and again.  Luckily, Shep (Campbell), the resort’s activities director, is an old friend of Kate’s from her camp counselor days and more than willing to help fill her solo hours with fun and adventure.  As the old friends spend more time together and reconnect, Kate is reminded of dreams she used to have and finds herself wondering if it’s time to change course.

 “Sun, Sand & Romance” is a Crown Media production.  Stan Spry serves as executive producer.  Anthony Fankhauser is the co-executive producer.  Mark Rosman directs.  Writers are Jennifer Barrow & Rich Tabach and Gregg Rossen & Brian Sawyer.
