5 Things You Need to Know About Hallmark's 2018 Movie Lineup
Still sad that Hallmark Christmas movies are finished for the season? You're not alone! But here's some consolation. The network is rolling out exciting new movies and specials for 2018. During the Television Critics Association Winter 2018 Press Tour, Hallmark announced the lineup so far-and it's filled with as many feel-good films as ever. Here's what you can expect:
2018 Countdown to Valentine's Day
Get ready for a whole lot of love. Hallmark kicks off its Countdown to Valentine's Day with a preview show hosted by Lori Loughlin on Saturday, January 27 at 11 p.m. ET. The brand new original movies include:
Saturday, February 3 at 9 p.m. ET: My Secret Valentine, starring Lacey Chabert and Andrew Walker.
Saturday, February 10 at 9 p.m. ET: Very, Very, Valentine, starring Danica McKellar and Cameron Mathison.
Sunday, February 11 at 9 p.m. ET: Cooking with Love, starring Ali Liebert and Brett Dalton.
Nearly 100 new movies
Between Hallmark and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, the channels are set to release more than 90 movies this year. The latter will debut 36 of the network's new installments, such as The Crossword Mystery, which combines three of our favorite things: crime, crossword puzzles, and Chabert. In August, Loughlin returns for four more Garage Sale Mystery movies. Also in development is a mystery starring real-life husband-and-wife Alexa PenaVega of Nashville and Big Time Rush's Carlos PenaVega.
New seasons of your favorite Hallmark shows
The fifth season of Loughlin's When Calls the Heart starts Sunday, February 18. Then on Sunday, April 29 at 9 p.m. ET, tune in for The Good Witch Season 4. Hallmark also announced the Season 3 renewal of Chesapeake Shores, coming sometime in Summer 2018.
The first-ever dog rescue show
On February 12 at 8 p.m., Hallmark Channel will air a one-of-kind contest as part of its Adoption Ever After campaign. Hosted by Rebecca Romijn and Rich Eisen, the 2018 American Rescue Dog Show will feature shelter dogs-mixed breeds and rescued purebreds alike-competing for the title of Best Rescue Dog. And the other categories are absolutely a-dog-able: Best in Couch Potato, Best in Wiggle Butt, Best in Underbite, and more.
Kitten Bowl V
Cats will get their time to shine, too, during the fifth annual Kitten Bowl on Sunday, February 4 at 12 p.m. ET., another special meant to raise awareness for pet adoption.
