LOS ANGELES, CA – January 22, 2008 – here!, America's premium gay television network, has wrapped production on two additional installments in the acclaimed Donald Strachey Mysteries series. These two new films will both be ready for release in 2008.

The two new Donald Strachey Mysteries, titled "Ice Blues" and "On the Other Hand, Death", follow gay detective Donald Strachey as he solves crimes in Albany, New York. Chad Allen reprises his role as beloved tough guy Strachey, with Sebastian Spence returning as Strachey's husband, Tim. The successful landmark franchise, based on the popular novels by Richard Stevenson, has brought an original mixture of dark wit, suspense, political commentary, and adventure rarely seen before in the gay film and television genre.

Not only has the series already produced two successful films, it also has drawn interest from well-known stars of film, television and stage to star in supporting roles, including Sean Young and Morgan Fairchild. The next two films are honored to include Sherry Miller (previously seen on Showtime's "Queer as Folk") playing a family matriarch with a dark secret in "Ice Blues," and Margot Kidder (Superman) portraying an outspoken member of the lesbian community in "On the Other Hand, Death."

"We're thrilled that Chad Allen is reprising his role as the sexy, gay, tough-guy detective Donald Strachey, and that we can offer his fans two additional installments of this popular franchise in 2008," says here! Senior Vice President of Original Programming, Meredith Kadlec.

The franchise continues to grow more suspenseful and more entertaining and the network is confident that these next two installments will only continue to build on the momentum set forth by the first two.
