Brooke Shields is set to star in and executive produce Allie & Andi, a six-episode murder mystery series from Robin Bernheim (Star Trek: Voyager) at AMC Networks‘ Acorn TV. The project reunites Shields and Bernheim who first worked together on Netflix’s Mother of the Bride. The news was announced Monday during AMC Networks’ presentation.
Set in a quaint New England colonial town, Allie & Andi follows a best-selling novelist (Shields) who forms an unlikely alliance with an aspiring writer to find the killer of a close friend. The series, a co-production between AMC Studios and Dynamic Television, will go into production this fall and air in 2026, exclusively on Acorn TV.
“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 are unmatched and it’s a project I’m not only proud of but a role I can’t wait to embody,” said Shields.
Bernheim also is known for her work on CBS’ Star Trek: Voyager, Hallmark’s long-running drama When Calls the Heart and Netflix’s The Princess Switch and A Christmas Prince: The Royal Wedding.
“Acorn TV and AMC Studios are elated to move forward with Robin’s brilliantly compelling and clever journey of two dynamic characters on a search for the truth anchored by powerhouse Brooke Shields,” said Rob Fox, EVP, Production, AMC Networks. “Our aim is to stay true to the deep rooted and sophisticated storytelling that the Acorn TV audience has come to expect, and they will not be disappointed with this vibrant ride. We’re thankful to Robin, Brooke and our long-time partners at Dynamic for bringing Allie & Andi together.”
Bernheim and Shields will executive produce alongside Daniel March and Carrie Stein for Dynamic and Rob Fox and Shannon Cooper for Acorn TV/AMC Studios.
AMC Studios/Acorn TV hold distribution rights in North America, United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand. Dynamic Television serve as international distributor.
