More Episodes Announced for 'When Hope Calls: Brookfield' Season 4 + Streaming News

Exciting streaming news! When Hope Calls Season 1 will soon be available to stream on Great American Pure Flix - beginning October 29th!

While Season 1 will also be available on Netflix, beginning September 14th, all seasons of When Hope Calls will exclusively be available to stream only through Great American Pure Flix.

And if you're thinking about the upcoming season, Season 4 of When Hope Calls: Brookfield will begin filming in September in Ontario, Canada for a premiere in 2027, likely in the Spring.

For those of us who were hoping for more episodes, Season 4 will have 8 episodes!

Season 1 had 10 episodes; Season 2 had 2 Christmas episodes, guest-starring Lori Loughlin and Daniel Lissing, plus 6 episodes years later with the new cast; and Season 3 had 6 episodes. So this is the first time the new cast of When Hope Calls will officially have more than 6 episodes.

Great American Media also announced via Parade that we can expect to see all of the main cast we love returning, including Cindy Busby, Christopher Russell, Nick Bateman, Sarah Fisher, Trevor Donovan, Jon McLaren, Jesse Hutch, Wendy Crewson, Hanneke Talbot, Neil Crone, Elizabeth Saunders, Kalinka Petrie, Jefferson Brown, Rob Stewart, Jillian Murray, and Simon Arblaster.

I’m so looking forward to returning to Brookfield and stepping back in time - to the lives of these beloved characters! This next chapter will likely bring plenty of excitement!

Of course, I’m especially hoping we’ll see Maggie and Sam’s wedding since they were engaged in the Season 3 finale, and I'm hoping Nora and Michael, along with Wyatt and Hannah, continue to find their way toward something deeper. However, there will surely be plenty of twists, challenges, and a little drama along the way before that happens, and that's okay with me... I'm most excited to go along for this new journey!

Happy watching!

As If! The ’90s Are Back with Melissa Joan Hart, Joey Lawrence & More in ‘Totally ’90s House’ Tonight

( image credit: HGTV / click to enlarge )  

Hey, everybody! The ’90s are officially making a comeback, and this time, they’re taking over the world of home renovation!

I just wanted to send a quick reminder to anyone who might be interested in checking out the new competitive home renovation series, Totally ’90s House, which premieres TONIGHT.

If you watched some of the biggest TV shows of the ’90s (live or in reruns), you’re definitely going to recognize quite a few familiar faces!

Plus, many of these actors have also appeared in plenty of TV movies over the years.

Hosted by Jaleel White, yes, Urkel from Family Matters, this six-episode series brings back all kinds of ’90s nostalgia while giving it a serious home makeover twist. Two teams of beloved ’90s stars will go head-to-head as they transform outdated homes into modern masterpieces, while still working a little retro ’90s charm into their designs.

Here’s how the teams are divided:

Team 1:
• Brian Austin Green (Beverly Hills, 90210)
• Beverley Mitchell (7th Heaven)
• Jodie Sweetin (Full House)

Team 2:
• Melissa Joan Hart (Clarissa Explains It All, Sabrina the Teenage Witch)
• Keshia Knight Pulliam (The Cosby Show)
• Matthew Lawrence (Boy Meets World)
• Joey Lawrence (Blossom)

The winning team will receive $25,000 for the charity of their choice.

The stars will also get some help along the way from HGTV design experts Carter Oosterhouse and Sabrina Soto.

So, if you’re ready to take a little trip back to the ’90s... CDs, scrunchies, sitcom stars and all... Totally ’90s House premieres Wednesday, August 26th at 9pm/8c on HGTV. The new series will also be available to stream the following day on HBO Max.

I have a feeling this one is going to be totally rad!!! (couldn't resist!)

Happy Watching,

I hope you all have an amazing weekend!

I love that we’re still soaking up Summer while also looking ahead to the Fall movie season! There’s something so special about enjoying the season we’re in while having a little something to look forward to, too.

On a personal note, it’s been an especially meaningful week of gratitude for me and my family. A few weeks ago, one of my dearest family members had a minor accident, and we’ve been waiting and praying to find out whether surgery would be necessary. This week, we finally received the answer we had been hoping and praying for - surgery will not be needed! Praise Jesus!

I'm feeling above and beyond grateful for this answered prayer. God is so good! I simply had to share this praise report with you all!

If you have a prayer request, please share in comments below.

Blessings on your weekend!

Another Christmas Movie on the Way for Danica McKellar -- Find Out Who’s Her New Leading Man

 ( Danica McKellar - image: Great American Media ) 

Exciting Christmas movie news! Danica McKellar is bringing a little extra heart to Great American Family's 2026 Christmas lineup this year with her second new Christmas movie - The Greatest Christmas Gift!

Great American Media made this announcement today via US Magazine.

Inspired by the classic The Gift of the Magi, this new movie follows music teacher Emma Harper (Danica McKellar) and her fiancé, Caleb Bennett (played by Matthew Marsden), as they prepare for their Christmas wedding. When an unexpected setback threatens their carefully made plans, they and their small-town community discover that the best gifts aren't always the ones wrapped with a bow.

 ( Danica McKellar and Matthew Marsden ) 

Danica McKellar describes the movie as “sentimental,” “sweet,” and “heartwarming.” One of the things that makes this story a little different is that Emma and Caleb are already together when the movie begins, rather than watching the couple fall in love along the way. Their journey to the altar isn't completely smooth, but there's plenty of hope, faith, selfless love, and Danica promises viewers will still get that warm, fuzzy feeling by the end!

Danica will also star this Christmas opposite Sam Page in the fun romantic comedy The Christmas Yes List. (adapted from the novel by Melissa Ferguson)

And Danica is not alone in starring in two movies for Great American Christmas. Both Candace Cameron Bure and Cameron Mathison will have two new Christmas movies for the channel this holiday season!

The Greatest Christmas Gift premieres Sunday, November 29th, on Great American Pure Flix, Great American Family and GFAM+. 

Have a Merry Day,
