If you think of the Hallmark Channel only at Christmastime, you’re missing out on year-round original entertainment. No matter the time of year, Hallmark brings the same heartwarming, feel-good vibes to its audience.
As summer turns to fall, the much-anticipated second season of The Chicken Sisters premieres on Hallmark August 10. It’s followed by a slate of “Summer Nights” movies and a new three-part series that will satiate fans of The Way Home until its next season arrives in 2026. Then the fall movies will wrap up with a Halloween film featuring some of your favorite neighbors from a popular Christmas franchise.
Here are the Hallmark movies and series you shouldn’t miss over the next few months.
The Chicken Sisters
A generations-long feud between Mimi’s and Frannie’s fried chicken restaurants was just about put to rest in Season 1 as the families used their appearance on the reality show Kitchen Clash to merge into the Chicken Sisters restaurant. In Season 2, Frank Jr. (James Kot) launches a rival restaurant, Mr. Chicken’s Cluckery, right on Main Street, which ignites new drama. There’s a wedding on the horizon, a mysterious new man in town and plenty of gossip to keep everyone in Merinac clucking.
Watch it: The Chicken Sisters, August 10, 8 p.m. ET
Providence Falls
Fans of the Hallmark Channel original series The Way Home won’t want to miss the new three-part series Providence Falls, a classic tale of forbidden love with a time-bending twist. In 1844 Ireland, rogue and thief Liam O’Conner (Lachlan Quarmby) and Cora McLeod (Katie Stevens), an aristocrat’s daughter, try to run away to America together, but when things go awry, everyone is forced to relive events from the past. Liam has now been transported to present-day Oregon, where he must help an unknowing Cora fall in love with Finn, the man she was supposed to marry in 1844. With the fate of his soul at risk, Liam is sent to be her new partner on the police force to achieve this task, but the biggest obstacle of all might be his love for her.
