Yesterday, I shared the exciting news about the upcoming movie Grounded in Love and its streaming premiere on August 7th. Today, I’m thrilled to bring you the official update on when it will air on Great American Family!
Coming this Fall, Great American Family will present audiences with Grounded in Love! This all-new heartwarming romance stars Danica McKellar and Trevor Donovan, who are both well-known to rom-com movie watchers.
The film takes viewers on a soul-stirring journey, following Annie (portrayed by Danica McKellar), a globetrotting flight attendant whose life takes an unexpected turn when she loses her job and her relationship. Seeking solace, she returns to her grandmother's countryside haven only to rediscover faith, love, and a childhood friend, Jake (played by Trevor Donovan), who is also seeking more purpose in his own life.
Produced by Great American Media, the world premiere of Grounded in Love will stream on Pure Flix beginning August 7th, before airing on Great American Family on September 27th.

NEW YORK, NY – June 19, 2025 – Great American Media announced the World Premiere of Original movie, Grounded in Love, starring Danica McKellar (A Cinderella Christmas Ball, Swing Into Romance) and Trevor Donovan (Jingle Bell Princess, Harvest Homecoming), streams exclusively on Great American Pure Flix, beginning Thursday, August 7. The film is adapted from the bestselling novel Grounded by Angela Correll will also premiere on Great American Family, Saturday, September 27 (8 p.m. ET). The teleplay is written by Andrea Canning (“Dateline,” Love On the Danube) and Cara Russell.
In Grounded in Love, Annie (McKellar), a spirited, Manhattan-based flight attendant, thrives on adventure and freedom, until an unexpected airline merger grounds her career and a breakup with a self-absorbed boyfriend leaves her questioning everything. Searching for clarity, Annie takes a road trip to her grandmother’s rural Kentucky farm – a place she hasn’t visited in years, though holds close to her heart. Nothing on the farm seems to have changed, except Jake (Donovan), Annie’s childhood friend who recently traded in fast-paced city life for something more intentional. As two old friends reconnect, Annie rediscovers what matters most – family, faith, community, and the kind of love that stays rooted when everything else seems uncertain.

So we’re finally going to see this movie after all. It seems forever ago that they filmed it. Why wait so long GAF?
ReplyDeleteI’m glad we’ll get to see this on Great American Family too, though I wish it wasn’t nearly 2 months after it streams on PureFlix.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I’ve always liked Trevor and Danica, so this should be good. Christie
I’m in!!😊
ReplyDeleteI am so EXCITED about this movie! YAY! I saw Danica's post, on Instagram, and it was actually filmed in my home state last fall. I know I am biased, but KY is spectacular in the season of Autumn. Really beautiful. And, I am a fan of both of them. But, most importantly, we won't have to worry about the movie not being clean. This one is definitely on my 'watch list' for sure.
ReplyDeleteExcited for this new GAF movie, thanks for the update Net!

I do not understand why this has to premiere on Pure Flix first instead of Great American Family.It seems like to me that they constantly push us to subscribe to Pure Flix to see the movies or series first. I am already paying extra to get GAF because it is in a higher tier with my cable. They have forgotten their Great American Family fans.
