One Bad Apple: A Hannah Swensen Mystery is the latest installment in the popular mystery movie series based on the novels by Joanne Fluke.
This movie is special for Hallmark fans as it reunites Alison Sweeney (known for her roles in “Love & Jane” and “Days of Our Lives”) with her “The Wedding Veil” trilogy co-star Victor Webster.
Directed by Shannon Kohli from a script written by Alison Sweeney, the movie follows the story of Hannah Swensen, as she teams up with the prosecuting attorney Chad Norton to prove herself innocent in an accidental case.
Craig Baumgarten, Alison Sweeney, Jamie Goehring, and Shawn Williamson served as executive producers, while Kevin Leslie produced the film.
One Bad Apple: A Hannah Swensen Mystery Filming Locations
One Bad Apple: A Hannah Swensen Mystery was primarily filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The bustling city of Canada was transformed into the charming town of Lake Eden for the shooting purposes. Filming took place between January and February 2024.
There was a two-week prep period that kicked off on January 2nd, followed by a five-week filming shoot that started on January 17th and wrapped up on February 4th, according to ACFC involved in film production.
Vancouver, British Columbia
While we don’t know the exact locations that were used in Vancouver, Hallmark movies are known for their beautiful town settings.
Vancouver has a ton of charming neighborhoods, parks, and bakeries that can be easily transformed into the world of Lake Eden, Minnesota.
However, Vancouver is a popular filming destination for Hallmark movies because of its variety of settings and beautiful scenery. It’s the best place to travel in Canada, in my opinion.😊
Some of the recent Hallmark productions that were shot in Vancouver includes An Easter Bloom, Guiding Emily, Field Day, A Picture of Her, etc.
Behind The Scenes
While the story is set in the fictional town of Lake Eden, Minnesota, Vancouver provided the perfect backdrop for the quaint, small-town vibe of the movie. The production team scouted various locations around the city and its suburbs to double as the bakery, college, and other key settings from the story.
Alison Sweeney, who’s starring in the lead role of Hannah, shared an amazing picture of her along with a big camera on Instagram on Feb 1, 2024 to share her excitement on returning to the set once again.
