On the heels of Hallmark announcing the season 12 renewal of When Calls the Heart, Variety is now reporting - Hallmark is creating an all-new television series based on KJ Dell'Antonia's bestselling 2020 novel, The Chicken Sisters.
Starring in this series are: Lea Thompson (Back to the Future, Caroline in the City, Next Stop, Christmas), Schuyler Fisk (Every Other Holiday), Genevieve Angelson (This is Us), and Wendie Malick (After All These Years, Darrow & Darrow).
Story details via Variety:
“The Chicken Sisters,” a family drama with southern charm and romance, is set in the fictional town of Merinac, “where a generations-old rift between dueling fried chicken restaurants – Mimi’s and Frannie’s – has left the founders’ families fractured and the locals taking sides.” When a popular cooking show comes to town, things get more complicated as sparks begin to fly and secrets are uncovered.
The series is currently in production and will have 8 episodes coming to the Hallmark Channel later this year.
If any of you have read the book the series will be based upon, The Chicken Sisters, I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below.
Stay tuned for further details.
