Brooke Shields is making a comeback to television in a new crime drama series called “Allie & Andi.” The show will premiere on Acorn TV in 2026. Shields will star in and executive produce the six-episode murder mystery. “Allie & Andi” is set in a quaint New England colonial town.
It follows a bestselling novelist who teams up with an aspiring writer and influencer to find the killer of a close friend. The series is created by Robin Bernheim, known for her work on “Star Trek: Voyager,” “When Calls the Heart,” and “The Princess Switch.” Shields previously worked with Bernheim on season 10 of “When Calls the Heart.”
Shields expressed her excitement about the project, saying, “I’m overjoyed to collaborate once again with the incredible Robin Bernheim who has created two strong, smart women you want to root for within ‘Allie & Andi.’ The writing and storytelling really resonate with me, and this is a project I’m not only proud of but a role I can’t wait to play.”
Rob Fox, EVP of Production at AMC Networks, said, “Acorn TV and AMC Studios are elated to move forward with Robin’s compelling and clever journey of two dynamic characters on a search for the truth anchored by powerhouse Brooke Shields.
