However 'Mix Up in the Mediterranean' will feature the channel's first-ever lead gay character. 'Mix Up in the Mediterranean' was shot entirely in Malta and it centers around the mix-up that occurs when a small-town cook impersonates his twin, a big-city chef at a culinary competition. He then ends up falling in love with the woman who is in charge of the competition, who thinks he is his twin, who is gay and happily married. 'Mix Up in the Mediterranean' is part of Hallmark's 'Love Ever After' programming event. Release date 'Mix Up in the Mediterranean' premieres on Saturday, February 20, at 9 pm ET/PT on the Hallmark Channel.
