Hit or Miss? Reviews for "When Hope Calls" Season 2, Episode 1, are Pouring In




"When Hope Calls" is a hit!
Great American Family hit this one out of the ballpark!

So many positive reviews have been coming in on social media since the premiere of "When Hope Calls" Season 2, Episode 1, last night on Great American Family, that I just had to share some of them with you all! The show is definitely a hit with fans—and with me and my family, too!

Also, I've been asked if there will be an encore airing this week on Great American Family, and unfortunately, at this time, I don't see one scheduled; however, the first episode is available on Amazon Prime through Great American Pure Flix with a free trial. (click here for details)



"When Hope Calls" Season 2 Reviews:

Such a great show!! Funny, action, and so much sweetness with the town! The episode had me hooked from the beginning and went by really fast!! Can’t wait for next week! I may have to watch it again 😊 ~ Kathy G

It's a miracle that Great American Family picked up When Hope Calls when Hallmark clearly didn't want it! The Christmas special was amazing, and that they were finally able to make a real 2nd Season is nothing sort of miraculous! ~Maria

  3. Great American Family hit it out of the park with this, I loved the 5 minute recap at the beginning. I never watched it on Hallmark Movies now. I started after the Christmas special. This episode was amazing. Love CIndy, Christopher and the rest of the cast. Can not wait to see Trevor, Nick, Sarah and Jesse.

  4. Yes, it's been a long-time coming. I've been "lobbying" (hoping, asking) for season 2 since the "season 2" Christmas special in 2021. I was hoping that Lori Loughlin, who was featured in that 2-part special but missing here, would be a cast member throughout this season; but as a long-time fan of Wendy Crewson, I'm glad to see her again, even if only for the first episode.

    There was a repeat today at 12:00 AM, but apparently too early for readers of today's column.

  5. You know they are doing something right when there are people calling it a copycat of When Calls the Heart on GAF Facebook post asking if we like it. I guess they have no idea that both series are based off of Janette Oke books. And also Halmark did not renew it.

    1. WCTH created the sisters which Janette then wrote books about while season 1 was being made and after, but other than the sisters the books are completely different than the show.
