The Hallmark Channel has released its lineup of September movie premieres. The highlights are a brand-new romantic comedy starring fan favorites Rachel Boston and Andrew Walker, as well as the latest installment in the "Mystery Island" series.
Also, I want to inform you... premiering on the Hallmark Channel in September are "The Groomsmen" trilogy of films, which originally premiered on Hallmark+. (Note: these movies include a same-sex relationship.)
Here’s a look at the new movies coming to Hallmark this September...
**************************
Mystery Island: House Rules
Premiere Date: Sunday, September 14, 2025 at 9/8c
Starring: Elizabeth Henstridge and Charlie Weber
Storyline: Mystery Island success raises plans of expansion, and the Island team meets their Mystery Mountain counterparts for a friendly murder game, but the fun ends with a murder in plain sight.
Movie Review:
🔎 Mystery Island: House Rules - The newest installment in the Mystery Island series is another intriguing case. The movie is suitable for preteens and up, though this is obviously a murder mystery, so there’s some mild violence (nothing graphic).
The puzzles/riddles in “House Rules” are especially clever and complex, and the dialogue moves quickly, at times, while they’re puzzle-solving, so you’ll want to pay close attention. It’s a large cast with many unique characters; therefore, there are plenty of suspects.
Did I enjoy it? At times, yes, I found several scenes to be fascinating. Other scenes, I thought were just okay, or perhaps, I lost interest for a bit. About halfway through, I had a hunch that ultimately ended up being right.
As for the romance… Emilia and Jason’s relationship takes a small, sweet step forward. ~Net

Adventures in Love & Birding
Premiere Date: Saturday, September 27, 2025 at 8/7c
Starring: Rachel Boston and Andrew Walker
Storyline: A single mom agrees to be the partner of a bird enthusiast for a birding competition but misunderstands the assignment and tells everyone she's his new girlfriend instead of just his teammate.

Hopefully, these two movies will be good! I'm not certain these movies above will be truly fall-related; however, at least two fall-themed movies will be added to the Hallmark schedule in October, including "Home Turf," starring Nikki DeLoach and Warren Christie, and "Haul Out the Halloween," starring Lacey Chabert and Wes Brown. Stay tuned for more details.
Are you looking forward to the new rom-com and mystery in September? I'm really glad they changed the title of Rachel and Andrew's movie from "Birding with Benefits" to "Adventures in Love & Birding." The new title has a nicer, more charming ring to it.
As for "Mystery Island," I’m a big mystery fan and have seen all the previous movies in this franchise, but so far, it just hasn’t pulled me in. Maybe this new one will finally do the trick. I’m game for giving it a try!
Blessings,
