NEW YORK – Great American Media announced in July 2026 the upcoming release of "Ainsley McGregor Mysteries: The Model Maker," the fourth installment in its ongoing mystery series.

However, a murder in Sweet River draws her into an investigation where meticulously crafted models might hold the key to the truth. The evidence appears to point closer to home than anticipated.
Great American Media CEO Bill Abbott highlighted the importance of such franchises in building viewer loyalty and creating shared experiences. Star and Executive Producer Candace Cameron Bure described the film as one of the most compelling and personal mysteries in the series, promising the suspense fans expect while exploring themes of belonging and connection.
