Kelsey Grammer and Benjamin Hollingsworth are set to star alongside Jana Kramer in the highly anticipated holiday film, “Karen Kingsbury’s The Christmas Ring,” which will be released exclusively in theaters beginning November 6.
Grammer, an acclaimed actor with a career that spans over three decades, has won six Emmy Awards and three Golden Globes, becoming a household name for his role as Dr. Frasier Crane in the hit shows “Cheers” and “Frasier.” He is currently involved in producing and starring in the revival of “Frasier,” which is available on Paramount+.
Hollingsworth, recognized for his role as “Brady” in Netflix’s “Virgin River,” which is the platform’s longest-running original series and is approaching its eighth season, brings significant appeal to the new film. His performance has contributed to more than 1 billion streams globally for the series.
Karen Kingsbury, the author and producer, expressed her enthusiasm for casting Grammer and Hollingsworth, stating that they will help viewers connect with the true spirit of Christmas through their performances. The film is currently in production, with Hollingsworth in Nashville filming alongside Kramer, who plays his romantic interest.
“I felt an instant connection to the character of Ben Miller when I read the script,” Hollingsworth noted, sharing his excitement about the film and looking forward to watching it with his family in theaters.
The film adapts Kingsbury’s story of the same name, which will also be released as a book by Thomas Nelson on October 21, setting the stage for its film debut. This marks Kingsbury’s return to the Thomas Nelson fiction line after several years and follows the success of her previous film adaptation, “Someone Like You,” which also gained traction in the streaming world.
For those curious about the production, Kingsbury shared glimpses of filming on social media, showcasing the early moments and her excitement for the project.
