Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman Reunion: Jane Seymour and Joe Lando to Star in Lifetime Christmas Movie
Lifetime has an early Christmas present for fans of CBS’ long-running Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman.
Jane Seymour is set to reunite with Dr. Quinn costar Joe Lando (aka Sully) in the made-for-TV Christmas movie A Christmas Spark.
Hailing from executive producer Toni Braxton, A Christmas Spark follows Seymour’s recently widowed Molly, who has “lost her zest for life and given up on ever finding love again,” according to the official logline. “But when she decides to visit her daughter for Christmas she has no idea what holiday magic is in store for her.
“A former drama teacher, Molly reluctantly takes on the job of directing the town’s Christmas pageant and soon finds herself falling for her leading man, Hank (Lando), the town’s most eligible bachelor,” the logline continues. “As Molly and the irrepressible Hank fall in love, she rediscovers her inner free spirit and finds a new lease on life. And when the star of the pageant loses her voice moments before the show, it will be up to Molly to step into the spotlight and shine brightly for the first time in her life.”
A Christmas Spark will air as part of the network’s annual It’s a Wonderful Lifetime holiday slate. A premiere date will be announced later this fall.
The original Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman aired for six seasons between 1993 and 1998, amassing a total of 149 episodes before CBS gave it the ax. (All six seasons are currently streaming, free of charge, on Amazon’s Freevee.) Seymour later returned for two TV-movies: Dr. Quinn: Revolutions (1999) and Dr. Quinn: The Heart Within (2001), the latter of which served as a proper series finale.
More recently, Seymour reprised her role as “Dr. Mike” in “Dr. Quinn, Medicinal Marijuana Woman,” a 2018 sketch for Jimmy Kimmel Live!
As previously reported, Lifetime is also reuniting Reba castmates Reba McEntire and Melissa Peterman in early 2023. They’ll appear in Reba McEntire’s The Hammer, a film in which McEntire plays a judge and Peterman (aka Barbara Jean) plays her sister… who just so happens to run the local brothel. Praise be!
Will you be tuning in for Seymour and Lando’s holiday-themed reunion? Let us know in Comments.
Every single person needs Sully, Gibbs and Gary (AMLT) type people in their lives. Everyone! Yes, I’ll be watching.
Hahaha, I still watch Dr Quinn now and then on FreeVee. Love that show.
Def one of my favorite shows.
Sometimes when she gets on one of her self righteous soap box rants I find myself yelling at the TV “oh shut up Michaela” LOL!!!
LOL. Yeah. She was def preachy but still I loved her. Did you know that Joe and Jane dated during the series? So glad chemistry didn’t suffer after they broke up!
I did know that, not sure exactly when though.
HA! His character’s name is Hank!
I love Dr. Quinn. Joe Lando was my first crush.
Right! I picked up on that too, lol.
I had a crush on Joe Lando when I saw him on OLTL when he played Jake in the beautiful yet tragic love story he had with Megan. It was great to see him show up in Dr. Quinn not long after. This Christmas movie looks interesting if only to see these two actors together again.
YES! YES! YES! 😊😊😊
Aww, I thought it was going to be a Dr. Quinn Christmas movie.
That would be amazing!!!
WILL TUNE IN!!!
OMG this news makes me so happy. I have all the dvds of Dr Quinn and watch pretty often. I can’t wait to see the movie. Thanks Lifetime♥️
I will definitely watch this.
Nostalgia is so much fun
This sounds amazing. I hope the director just lets them spark off each other the way they did in DQ and it will be fantastic. Jane and Joe together again! Can’t wait!
Can’t wait so excited
So excited to read of the Christmas movie with Jane Seymour and Joe Lando. I watch Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman every day. Hope I don’t miss the schedule for the Christmas movie
Yes yes love Jane Seymour and Joe Lando
Dr Quinn was a superb series and characters were perfectly chosen. Glad for Dr. Mike and Sully to be back again! Hopefully with the same hair styles!!!!!!
Dammit, I thought this would be a Dr. Quinn movie. But it’ll still be good to see the actors together again. Jane and Joe had great chemistry.
Yes, Yes,Yes! Welcome Back!❤️
Can’t wait.
Nah. She’s almost old enough to be his mother. They got away with it decades ago, but it’s a stretch now.
Lando is only 11 years younger than Seymour so not exactly old enough to be his mother.
Hey, I’m 14 years older than my husband and we’ve been together for 16 years and I’m 58 so it can work. She’s still beautiful, not that it should matter.😊. And he’s still a hunk. Lol!
She looks the same, so they can get away with it. And it does happen in real life. Look at Blue Bloods Len is only a few years older than Tom, yet they are father & son so… What’s more realistic?
I love this show.im 71 and just recently watched every episode from beginning to end.just loved it..I’m so happy.cant wait to see the Xmas movie.
Could u please put it on another channel like start tv or even cozy tv.i could then see it .where I live it is out in the country and there is no cable TV.so again please put it on a channel I could see it.
No satellite TV either? I live in the boonies, but get DirectTV on satellite.
Absolutely! Can’t wait
Can’t wait for “ Sully and Dr. Mike” come to for another “sizzler” onscreen performance. These two actors are perfect together. I hope there will be more shows with them together or series. I will be glued to the screen.
This news makes me ridiculously happy!!! 😊
I love dr.Quinn I watch reruns everyday. I wish it didn’t get the ax.I can’t wait for yhe Christmas movie comes out.
Husband & I are bingewatching Dr Quinn Medicine Woman now! How exciting to get an updated version of the show! We are looking forward to this Christmas themed Dr Quinn movie. Fantastic!
CJ Dillon again…We will now be subscribing to Lifetime Television because of this news. Hope LIFETIME will continue more additions to Dr Quinn along the way. Is this a BLATANT HINT or What?! Who else is w/ me?!!
But it’s not about Dr. Quinn. ‘ “A former drama teacher, Molly reluctantly takes on the job of directing the town’s Christmas pageant and soon finds herself falling for her leading man, Hank (Lando), the town’s most eligible bachelor,” ‘.
It’s a Christmas TV movie, in present time, unrelated to Dr. Quinn. They play Molly and Hank
So excited. I will watch.
