What happens

Back to the Secret Garden is a 2000 American family fantasy television film. It serves as a sequel to the 1987 Hallmark Hall of Fame film, The Secret Garden. Directed Michael Tuchner, written by Joe Wiesenfeld and produced by Nick Gillott, it contains some of the previous characters from the first film such as Lady Mary and Sir Colin Craven, who are now married, and Martha Sowerby, who is now the mistress of Misselthwaite Manor, which has become an orphanage for children whose parents died in World War II. They had appeared as children in the original story some 40 years earlier, and are now middle aged adults. The film received a theatrical release exclusively in Oklahoma City on August 11, 2000, and aired on Showtime on September 2, 2001. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
