===After the series=== The network also agreed to commission four ''Murder, She Wrote'' movies over the next few years. The first was ''South by Southwest'' (1997), with three more following as ''A Story to Die For'' (2000), ''The Last Free Man'' (2001), and ''The Celtic Riddle'' (2003).<ref>{{cite news|title=Movies Keep 'Murder, She Wrote' Alive|work=Chicago Tribune|date=August 5, 1997|url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/1997/08/05/movies-keep-murder-she-wrote-alive/|access-date=October 20, 2010|archive-date=June 14, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120614033542/http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1997-08-05/features/9708050162_1_magnificent-seven-advocacy-groups-horst-buchholz|url-status=live}}</ref> Lansbury stated in May 2011 that she would like to make a comeback appearance as Jessica Fletcher.<ref>{{cite magazine|title='Murder, She Wrote' Angela Lansbury Return|magazine=Entertainment Weekly|date=May 13, 2011|url=http://insidetv.ew.com/2011/05/13/murder-she-wrote-angela-lansbury-return|access-date=February 22, 2012|archive-date=February 8, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120208023833/http://insidetv.ew.com/2011/05/13/murder-she-wrote-angela-lansbury-return/|url-status=live}}</ref> However, in a 2015 interview, she quashed the idea of reprising the much beloved character, stating, "I think it would be a downer. In some way, we'd have to show her as a much older woman, and I think it's better to maintain that picture we have in our mind's eye of her as a vigorous person. I'm still pretty vigorous, especially in the garden β¦ but if I wanted to transform myself back into the woman I looked like then, it would be ridiculous.
