IT'S A MATCH MADE IN IRELAND JOANNA GARCIA SWISHER AND ALLEN LEECH STAR IN "AS LUCK WOULD HAVE IT," A NEW, ORIGINAL MOVIE PREMIERING APRIL 10, ON HALLMARK CHANNEL

Part of the Network's "Spring Fling" Programming Event Filmed Entirely on Location in Ireland

STUDIO CITY, CA - March 24, 2021 - JoAnna Garcia Swisher ("Sweet Magnolias") and Allen Leech ("Downton Abbey") star in "As Luck Would Have It," a new, original movie premiering Saturday, April 10 (9 p.m. ET/PT), on Hallmark Channel. Filmed entirely on location in Ireland, the movie is part of the network's annual "Spring Fling" programming event.

Lindsey Johnson (Swisher) is sent to a coastal town in Ireland for work, tasked with acquiring a valuable piece of land to develop into a hotel resort. The only catch is the 14th century castle sitting on it owned by the town council - they won't sell to anyone who wants to tear it down, much less to a stranger who doesn't understand the town. Most emphatic about this is Brennan O'Brien (Leech), a handsome councilman and local whiskey distiller. While Lindsey is there, the town's annual, world-renowned matchmaking festival filled with local activities is taking place. Seeing this as a chance to prove her investment to the town - and Brennan - Lindsey signs up even though the last thing she's looking for is a love connection. After non-stop days of soda-bread baking, knitting classes and a trip to the breathtaking Cliffs of Moher, Lyndsey finds herself falling for the town as well as for Brennan. Now committed to saving the castle, her career and a new chance at love, Lindsey will need more than just a little luck.
