Known as “the leader in feel-good entertainment,” Nicely brings to market more than 25 new movies each year for global audiences. Since the company’s founding in 2020, its titles have premiered on all major channels and platforms — including Lifetime, Hallmark, Hulu, Netflix, UPtv, and Great American Family — with hits such as A Royal in Paradise and A Christmas Frequency starring Denise Richards. 

And now we're pleased to announce the...
