RACHEL BOSTON,

JULIE GONZALO

AND KEVIN VIDAL

IN CHANGE OF HEART

HALLMARK+ EXCLUSIVE 

SCRIPTED SERIES

Production Began Last Month

The Six-Episode Season is Set to Premiere in 2027, 

Exclusively on Hallmark+

BURBANK, CA – October 12, 2026 –– Jaeger (Parenthood, The Handmaid’s Tale, October Kiss) and Ariel Winter (Modern Family, Sofia the First) are series regulars, alongside Rachel Boston (The More the Merrier, Witches of East End, American Dreams), Julie Gonzalo (Supergirl, Dallas) and Kevin Vidal (Workin' Moms, Culprits and the Canadian Premiere cast of Come From Away).

"Great television starts with exceptional storytelling, and finding the right cast to bring those stories to the screen is just as important. We are beyond excited about the talented, seasoned actors bringing Change of Heart to life,” remarked Michelle Vicary, Head of Programming, Hallmark Media. “Sam, Ariel, Rachel, Julie and Kevin each bring something unique to these richly drawn characters, creating the foundation for a series that will immediately connect with the audience. As Hallmark+ continues to grow its slate of successful original programming, on the heels of standout series like Hope Valley: 1874 and Paris Is Always a Good Idea, Change of Heart underscores our commitment to delivering the heartfelt, premium storytelling that viewers come to Hallmark+ to discover and return to watch week after week."

“We’re excited to build on our longstanding Hallmark partnership with Change of Heart, following the success of The Way Home. We look forward to bringing audiences a fresh, character-driven series with humor, heart, and a distinct point of view,” said Hannah Pillemer, Head of Scripted, FOX Entertainment Studios. “Sam and Ariel lead a terrific ensemble in a world of unexpected connections, the kind of storytelling we champion at FOX Entertainment Studios.”

"It’s incredibly rewarding to see an original idea we’ve developed over several years coming to life with such an exceptional team,” remarked Liz Cohen, Keshet Studios' EVP of Scripted. “Sam and Ariel are perfect for Charlie and Brit, bringing warmth, humor and heart to two characters we’ve grown to love. We’re thrilled to be working with Hallmark and Fox to bring this funny, hopeful story about human connection to audiences.”

Charlie Wyatt (Jaeger) is the most unlikely of romantic heroes: a renowned divorce attorney known for winning no matter the cost. When a life-altering heart transplant cracks something wide open inside him, Charlie finds himself pulled— almost against his will—toward a more hopeful way of moving through the world. One where he's compelled to help others find their way back to each other in ways he can't explain. And alongside it all is his younger sister, Brit (Winter). An unexpected anchor, and partner-in-matchmaking that represents the emotional truth Charlie can’t out-argue: that love isn’t something you win or lose, but something you deserve and choose.

As previously announced, Change of Heart is set to premiere in 2027, exclusively on Hallmark+. Jonny Umansky is Creator and Executive Producer and Erin Gibson (The Chicken Sisters) serving as Showrunner and Executive Producer. Keshet Studios’ Liz Cohen and Keren Shahar also serve as executive producers on the series, alongside Peter Traugott and Heather Brewster. Change of Heart is produced by FOX Entertainment Studios and FOX Entertainment Global will distribute the series internationally.

What do you think of the storyline for this series? I think it sounds potentially interesting. I also think it was somewhat surprising (but in a good way) to see that Sam Jaeger will be the actor starring in this series - especially since we haven't seen him on Hallmark for over ten years!!!

I will look forward to hearing more details on this series and seeing a trailer.

NEW UP FAITH & FAMILY

ORIGINAL DRAMA SERIES

BLUE SKIES RENEWED

FOR A SECOND SEASON

ATLANTA (April 9, 2026) – UP Faith & Family, the leading streaming service for uplifting movies and series, has greenlit season two of the hit series Blue Skies. Blue Skies is an all-new procedural series that blends mystery and action with emotional storytelling and the heartwarming bond between a detective and her canine companion. Viewers can stream season one of the series on UP Faith & Family now.

“The response to Blue Skies in its first season has been incredibly rewarding,” said Philip Manwaring, CEO, UP Entertainment. “Viewers have connected with the mysteries, the stories of redemption and growth, the relationships among colleagues and family, and, of course, the always-lovable ‘Blue’. We’re excited to return to Crystal Ridge with even bigger adventures, deeper relationships and new cases that continue to deliver the uplifting, family-friendly storytelling that’s at the core of everything we do here at UP.”

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Crystal Ridge National Park, Blue Skies follows former military police officer Jodi Larsen as she returns to her hometown to start over as a criminal investigator for the National Park Police. Driven by a love of the outdoors and a deep sense of justice, Jodi is determined to protect the park, its visitors and her community, whether from natural dangers or human threats. But Jodi’s fresh start is anything but simple. She’s navigating a new team and a journey to reconnect with her father after her mother passed away while she was deployed. Her unexpected partner? A mischievous stray Labrador named Blue, whose instincts prove sharper than most trained K9s.

Each episode of Blue Skies combines suspense and unexpected turns with heartwarming moments as Jodi and her team tackle missing persons, environmental crimes and the secrets hidden deep within the park’s 5,000 square miles.

Season two will build on the stories and characters from the first season, including returning cast members Scarlet Hunter as Detective Jodi Larsen, Markian Tarasiuk (Mistletoe Connection, Virgin River) as Ryan Miller, Veronica Long (The Wrong Paris) as Detective Nora Esposito, David Lennon (Untamed) as Detective Alex Meeks, Darius Willis as Tyson Bernard and Shaughnessy Redden as Bill Larsen.

Executive Producers are Larry Levinson, Mark Bacci and Charles Segars. Writers include Zach Grossman, Fernando Viso, Mark Millner and Jordan McCray.

Great American Media Introduces *The Golden Thread Collection* of Films

image via: Great American Media

In Great American Media's latest commercial for the upcoming Easter film, Blessings in Disguise, there's a brief mention that the movie is part of *The Golden Thread Collection* of films. Seeing that detail really piqued my interest, and now Great American Media has shared what this means in their latest press release.

You can also see the new promo, which includes a mention of The Golden Thread Collection, at the end of this post.

Press Release via Great American Media:

Great American Media

Introduces The Golden Thread –

Elevated Stories 

Woven with Everyday Faith

First Film to Debut is

Blessings in Disguise,

Starring Shae Robins

and Casey Elliott

NEW YORK, NY — March 12, 2026 — Great American Media today announced the launch of The Golden Thread, a new genre of faith-driven storytelling centered on the ways everyday faith shapes the journey of life.

For generations, faith-based films have often focused on moments of hardship where belief suddenly appears during times of crisis. While those stories reflect an important part of human experience, The Golden Thread introduces a different kind of storytelling, where faith is a staple throughout the entire arc of life.

More than a programming label or seasonal collection, The Golden Thread represents a defining creative vision for Great American Media. These stories highlight how faith is present not only in life’s most difficult moments, but also in the small decisions, relationships, and acts of service that shape who we become.

Like a thread woven through fabric, faith connects moments of joy, challenge, hope, and renewal. The Golden Thread reflects the belief that faith is often experienced in ordinary moments, guiding purpose and strengthening community along the way.

“At Great American Media, we believe faith is not something that appears only in moments of crisis,” said Bill Abbott, President and CEO of Great American Media. “The Golden Thread reflects the reality that faith is part of the entire journey of life. It’s present in the joyful moments, the difficult seasons, and the everyday experiences in between. These stories will entertain while demonstrating that faith is the very fabric of our lives, and is woven throughout life’s journey, guiding decisions, relationships, and purpose along the way.”

The first film to premiere under The Golden Thread banner is Blessings in Disguise, starring Shae Robins (A Christmas Prayer, Destined at Christmas) and Casey Elliott (Destined at Christmas, Destined at Christmas Once More).

In Blessings in Disguise, Robins portrays a talented fashion designer who thoughtfully stitches a line of scripture into every garment she creates, believing the wearer may receive more than beautiful clothing. Elliott plays a gifted woodworker who hopes to use his craft in service to others. When their paths cross, both discover that small acts of faith can lead to unexpected blessings, renewed purpose, and meaningful connection.

Just as Christmas movies grew into a beloved genre of television storytelling, The Golden Thread introduces a new storytelling tradition centered on the everyday presence of faith. While the genre is being formally introduced today, the spirit of Golden Thread storytelling has already appeared in several Great American Media films, beginning with the 2022 original The Christmas…Present, starring and executive produced by Candace Cameron Bure. The film’s message, that faith quietly shapes the choices we make and the lives we touch, captured the essence of what Great American Media now defines as The Golden Thread storytelling.

Through The Golden Thread, Great American Media continues its commitment to meaningful entertainment that celebrates and honors faith, family, and country.

Great American Media is the leader in faith and family entertainment, and one of the fastest-growing entertainment networks on television. Great American Media is home to a portfolio of entertainment brands that celebrate faith, family, and country, including Great American Family, the flagship linear network featuring original Christmas movies, rom-coms, and beloved series; Great American Pure Flix, the leading faith and family streaming service; Great American Faith & Living, the unscripted companion network; and GFam+, an app that lets viewers watch anytime, anywhere.

Hope Valley: 1874 – First-Look – Coming to Hallmark+ March 21!

Hallmark has just released a new promo for "Hope Valley: 1874," the new prequel series to “When Calls the Heart,” starring Bethany Joy Lenz, Benjamin Ayres and Jill Hennessy! I also spotted the well-known actor Neal McDonough in the new preview.

The new series will begin streaming - March 21st exclusively on Hallmark+.

See the new promo and more details on the series from the Hallmark press release below. Plus, see my thoughts at the end of this post…


Hope Valley: 1874 - Promo:

THE DAWN OF A NEW FRONTIER

HALLMARK’S HIGHLY ANTICIPATED

PREQUEL SERIES

TO WHEN CALLS THE HEART

HOPE VALLEY: 1874

PREMIERES SATURDAY, MARCH 21

EXCLUSIVELY ON HALLMARK+

New Episode Available to Stream Every Thursday Beginning March 26
Starring Bethany Joy Lenz, Benjamin Ayres and Jill Hennessy

BURBANK, CA – January 30, 2026 – Hallmark announced today that Hope Valley: 1874, the new prequel series to the beloved When Calls the Heart, will premiere Saturday, March 21, exclusively on Hallmark+, with a new episode premiering every Thursday beginning March 26. The network also unveiled a first look at the trailer for the eight-episode series, giving fans an exciting glimpse into the origins of the community that would one day become Hope Valley.

As previously announced, the series stars Bethany Joy Lenz (A Biltmore Christmas), Benjamin Ayres (The Santa Class), Jill Hennessy (City on a Hill), Roan Curtis (Firefly Lane) and Lachlan Quarmby (Providence Falls). Joining the ensemble are Jedidiah Goodacre (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina) as Clayton Cooley, a ruggedly handsome blacksmith, Chelsea Hobbs (Deck the Halls on Cherry Lane) as Peggy McCabe, the wife of Tom’s (Ayres) foreman Nash as portrayed by Brad Abramenko (A Splash of Love).

Set in 1874, the series explores the earliest days of the frontier settlement that later became Hope Valley, chronicling the courage, resilience and relationships that laid the foundation for the close-knit town viewers have come to love. Lenz portrays Rebecca Clarke, who travels from her home city of Chicago to the Western Canadian frontier with her 11-year-old-daughter Sarah (Mila Morgan, The Holiday Sitter). But when her wagon breaks down, and she realizes the boardinghouse is not as advertised, Rebecca has no choice but to accept help from local rancher and confirmed bachelor, Tom Moore (Ayres). Despite her best intentions to remain unattached, Bella can't help but slowly fall for Tom and develop a friendship with tenacious pioneer woman Hattie Quinn (Hennessy). Hattie’s daughter Olivia (Curtis) helps run their trading post and catches the eye of Constable Alexander Vaughn (Quarmby), much to the dismay of Clayton (Goodacre), who harbors feelings for her.

Showcasing themes of perseverance and romance, this series explores the journey of a mother as she discovers a new chapter in her life as she helps forge what starts out as collection of isolated settlers into a small close-knit community during the rugged and hopeful Pioneer Era. This prequel to Hallmark’s historical drama series, When Calls the Heart, will take viewers back in time to follow the early settlers of the community that will one day become the beloved frontier town of Hope Valley.

Hope Valley: 1874 is from All Canadian Entertainment production company. Executive producers of the series include Brad Krevoy, Brian Bird, Michael Landon Jr., Amy Hartwick, Olivia Krevoy, Vicki Sotheran, Greg Malcolm, Alfonso Moreno and Susie Belzberg. Mike Rohl and Elizabeth Stewart are co-executive producers, and Jennifer Siddle and Melody Fox serve as consulting producers.

My Quick Take:

I’m absolutely loving this beautiful first look at Hope Valley: 1874. It truly captures the spirit of the pioneer era and truly feels like a step back in time. With When Calls the Heart now set in the 1920s and moving further away from the early American frontier, it’s especially heartwarming to see a new series that takes us back to those humble, hardworking pioneer days.

This glimpse of Hope Valley: 1874 is already giving me the same comforting, nostalgic feeling as classic shows like Little House on the Prairie, Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, Christy, Little Men, When Hope Calls, and of course, the early seasons of When Calls the Heart, along with Hallmark's Love Comes Softly films. There’s something so special about stories set in a simpler time, filled with resilience, faith, community, and hope.

Based on the promo, which highlights a close-knit community and everyday struggles of frontier life, I have a feeling this new series coming to Hallmark+ this spring will become another deeply beloved period drama.

I’d love to know what you think, too. Please share your thoughts in the comments below.

Blessings to you all,

Great American Media previously shared the exciting news that Destined at Christmas stars, Shae Robins and Casey Elliott, would be reunited in a brand-new, unrelated movie project- this time centered around the hope-filled Easter season.

Today, they’ve officially shared additional movie details for their new film, Blessings in Disguise, including a heartwarming story synopsis centered around faith and new beginnings.

You can find all of the details in the press release below…

-------------------------------------

NEW YORK, Jan. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Great American Media announced today the new Original Movie, Blessings in Disguise, starring Shae Robins and Casey Elliott, will premiere this Easter season on Great American Pure Flix, Great American Family, and GFAM+. The film is a moving and uplifting story about legacy, creativity, and the unseen threads of faith that bind generations together.

Set against the fast-paced world of high fashion and the enduring charm of small-town life, Blessings in Disguise follows Katie (Robins), a driven New York fashion designer with only three weeks to develop a collection that could launch her brand to national prominence. Under mounting pressure and searching for inspiration, Katie returns to her hometown where she chooses an unexpected venue to unveil her work – her late grandmother's beloved seamstress shop, Charlotte's Thread.

As Katie breathes new life into the quiet storefront, she uncovers the remarkable source behind her grandmother's handmade designs: carefully selected Scriptures, lovingly stitched by hand and hidden inside every garment.

Along the way, Katie reconnects with Luke (Elliott), her first love and now a gifted furniture designer and woodworker whose designs are rooted in craftmanship, patience, and purpose. As their lives intertwine once more, the two discover that inspiration is not found in deadlines or demand – but in the timeless values of home, heritage, and hope.

"This film is a strong example of the kind of storytelling we prioritize at Great American Media," said Kaitlyn Haubrich, Chief Brand Officer, Great American Media. "Blessings in Disguise is about faith lived out through family, community, and everyday grace—reminding us that even when life feels uncertain, there is meaning being woven into every moment.," Haubrich concluded.

Blessings in Disguise continues Great American Media's dedication to deliver programming that resonates with audiences seeking stories of faith, authenticity, and connection. The film premieres exclusively on Great American Pure Flix, Great American Family, and GFAM+ as part of the network's growing slate of original programs.
