Loughlin pleaded guilty to fraud charges in May 2020 after she and husband Mossimo Giannulli were accused of paying bribes to get their daughters, Bella and Olivia Jade, into college. Loughlin and Giannulli served two months and five months, respectively in prison, and completed community service.
“Lori is a genre-defining star that I have had the honor to call a close friend and collaborator for more than 15 years,” Great American Media president and CEO, Abbott said in a September 2022 press release. “We have a shared vision for creating meaningful and memorable movies that resonate with our passionate fans, and I look forward to welcoming her back to Great American Family to anchor our 2023 winter programming slate.”
Loughlin, who previously reprised her role as Abigail Stanton in Great American Family’s When Hope Calls: A Country Christmas special in 2021, previewed Fall Into Winter during a behind-the-scenes set visit in January.

BreAnna Bell Walden Media has preemptively acquired N.K. Jemisin’s bestselling “The Great Cities” duology, “The City We Became” and “The World We Make,” with the intention to develop both books into an ongoing series. “The City We Became” is set in an alternate version of the world, where major cities like New York City become sentient through human avatars.

The collection marks Jemisin’s first books after her “Broken Earth” Trilogy, which comprised 2015’s “The Fifth Season,” 2016’s “The Obelisk Gate” and 2017’s “The Stone Sky.”
