In "The Dancing Detective: Deadly Tango," Lacey Chabert plays Detective Constance Bailey and Will Kemp plays Sebastian Moore. Detective Bailey's newest case is the murder of a CEO, and solving it involves going undercover as a ballroom dancer at his company's dancing competition — even though Detective Bailey does not possess any ballroom dancing skills. Help comes in the form of Kemp's character Sebastian — he is a seasoned dancer and becomes Detective Bailey's dance partner for the competition so she can go undercover, solve the case, and find the killer.

"The Dancing Detective" is slated to premiere June 2, 2023 and was filmed on location in Malta. In addition to Chabert acting and Kemp acting and pitching the original idea to Hallmark, they are also both executive producing the film. This falls in line with the two-year deal Chabert signed with Hallmark in February 2022, setting her up as an actress and executive producer on future Hallmark projects.
