Jen Lilley Announces New Movie + All Aboard for an Encore Airing of the Patriotic Movie - USS Christmas!

Recently in her IG stories Jen Lilley shared with a follower she will be filming a new TV movie titled: Love in the Afternoon.

She, unfortunately, did not confirm if it is for Hallmark; however, her last three films (Angel Falls: A Novel Holiday, USS Christmas, and Snowkissed) have been for the network.

Here's a screen-grab of the exchange on Instagram:

A follower asks Jen Lilley if she has, "Any upcoming movies?"

Jen responds with an image of her script, which includes the movie title: Love in the Afternoon written by Sandra Berg and Judith Berg. In case your curious, Sandra and Judith are sisters who have written previous Hallmark movies: Christmas Next Door, Love on the Sidelines, A Dash of Love, Harvest Love and more. The last two movies mentioned just happen to star Jen Lilley!

Under the title, Jen writes: "Yep! About to go film one. 😊"

If you look close, you can also see a little snippet of Act One at the bottom - with characters Nicole and Chase.

Now... we'll have to keep a look out for this new movie after it starts filming later this month - to see where it eventually lands!

Reviews for USS Christmas:

🎄"USS Christmas - Family Friendly. It was refreshing to have a movie that was so pro military and America. I thought both the leads did a great job and the story the girl is researching was sweet. I'm a sucker for a happy ending so I loved it!" ~ Anna

🎄"I just watched USS Christmas and this was another great movie on Hallmark Movies and Mysteries. Finally, Christmas movies with a mystery and a good romance story. Both the leads had wonderful chemistry. Sometimes, Jen seems over the top to me, but somehow, Trey knows how to level that off and she shined. The secondary characters were all top notch and the writing was spot on. I really recommend this family friendly, romance with a great mystery. This year, I think HMM has had better movies than Hallmark!" ~ Misty

🎄"USS Christmas! WOW! I love Jen Lilley and Trevor Donovan but this one even surprised me with how much I loved it. It was sweet and thoughtful. So refreshing to see something a little different and definitely loved seeing the military families celebrated. The chemistry between the cast was the icing on the cake. USS Christmas and A Timeless Christmas are absolute tops for this season so far!" ~ J.F. Hale

🎄"Loved U.S.S. Christmas! Definitely want that DVD." ~ kitkat

🎄"USS Christmas. I really liked this one and it’s a keeper for me, but that’s partially because I’ve lived in the world of Naval aviators and enjoyed watching a movie based on that (even the unrealistic parts). I have a brother and a former fiancé that both flew FA-18 jets (what the lead actor flew); my brother actually kind of looks like Trevor Donovan (especially in his green flight suit). This movie wasn’t as great as some of my other favorites this year but I definitely liked it. Plus, I think Jen is adorable. And the little mystery was sweet. Family friendly." ~~Jane

🎄USS Christmas is the Top Gun of Hallmark movies! I just love the patriotic theme in USS Christmas and the way the movie beautifully honors our military. Since the setting of this film was at an actual aircraft carrier - the World War II-era aircraft carrier Yorktown, it was absolutely incredible on screen. The love story between Jen Lilley and Trevor Donovan's characters, reporter Maddie Johnson and Navy fighter pilot Lt. Billy Jenkins, is gradual and sweet; it was interesting to watch them both overcome issues from their past to discover love again. I highly recommend this family friendly Christmas movie! ~ Net
