Hallmark Channel will premiere its new movie Unleashing Mr. Darcy on Saturday, Jan. 23 at 9 p.m.. In this modern day spin on Pride & Prejudice, Elizabeth Scott (played by Cindy Busby) is fishing for direction in her life and gets the opportunity to professionally show her Cavalier King Charles Spaniel in a fancy New York dog show. Event judge Donovon Darcy (played by Ryan Paevey) comes across as aristocratic and rude and a chain of misunderstandings unfold during the competition, complicating their mutual attraction. In true Jane Austin fashion, Elizabeth and Donovon begin to see the error of their ways and it turns out Mr. Darcy is far more kind and interesting than Elizabeth imagined. Frances Fisher also stars.
