( image via: Great American Media ) 

I've been asked many times if there is a way to watch Season 2 of "When Hope Calls" before Season 3 begins, so in case you haven't seen my response, I thought I would share the answer here.

Unfortunately, Season 2 of "When Hope Calls" will not air on Great American Family before Season 3 airs, but there are other options... keep reading!

How to see "When Hope Calls" season 2:

1.) *The best and easiest option is to stream through Great American Pure Flix. You can see details directly on their website or through Amazon. (Both are paid subscriptions.)

The popular streaming source, known for it's faith based films and series, is currently offering a wonderful discount of $2.99 per month for 2 months. That is an awesome low price, and in addition to seeing Season 2, you'll get to watch each episode of Season 3 early - in April and May!

2.) *Another great option for watching season 2 is through Great American Faith & Living! This channel will have a marathon of the Season 2 episodes encoring on Easter Sunday from 6am EST to 8pm EST. (The new episode for season 3 airs at 8pm EST.)

I personally have the Great American Faith & Living channel through my FrndlyTV streaming, which is very easy to record on. Great American Faith & Living is also available through Sling, DISH, and other providers. To see where it is offered in your area, click here.


I hope this will help many of you to be able to see this wonderful, heartwarming series!

How Would You Review "When Hope Calls" Season 2?

For those of you who watched When Hope Calls" Season 2, what were your thoughts on the finale episode and the season overall?

Be sure to send your reviews to Great American Family, but I would also love to hear from you. Please share your thoughts in the comments below.

I'm currently on watch for any news on a potential season 3. After that season 2 cliffhanger (not going to spoil the ending for anyone who hasn't seen it, yet), I'm thinking it's gotta be a sure thing. Right? I mean... they can't leave us there. Can they?

Anyway, here is my review of season 2, and I'd absolutely love to know your take on it, too!


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

My Review sent to Great American Family:

What a truly wonderful and exciting season 2 finale episode and a beautiful season of "When Hope Calls" overall! It was such a joy to see beloved characters return from season one while slowly being introduced to new ones who quickly found a place in our hearts.

What a joy to meet Nora Anderson, Mountie Michael Fletcher, Delores, Hannah Lawrence, Wyatt Parker, Maggie's parents, Mountie Jim Reynolds, and the children... Ruby, Charlotte, Annie, Art, Steve, and Wally. Even Jerry Huntsman was a thrilling new addition!

Thank you, Great American Family, for bringing this inspiring series back to life. I’m so grateful for the uplifting stories, the sweet orphan children, the meaningful touches of faith (would love to see even more!), the tender, gentle love stories—and really, just everything about it!

Each time I watch "When Hope Calls," I'm filled with a deep sense of peace and calmness. My family and I have rewatched every episode more times than we can count, and we're truly hoping for a third season.

God bless everyone at Great American Family for the amazing work you do!

Happy Mother's Day 💐❤

First, I'd like to wish a very Happy Mother’s Day to my kind, caring, thoughtful, amazing, beautiful Momma! Her love, strength, and grace inspire me every day. I'm so blessed to call her mine. I’m deeply grateful for the love and dedication she—and my daddy—poured into raising us. Their guidance shaped our values and, most importantly, led us to a strong faith in Jesus. Today and always, I cherish their constant support. Their love is a true reflection of God’s love!

Also, Happy Mother’s Day to all you amazing mamas who stop by here! You have the toughest—and most rewarding—job in the world!

I’m deeply thankful to the Lord for the beautiful gift of mothers. Through their unwavering, unconditional love, they reflect the depth of God's amazing love for all His children. Scripture encourages us to honor our mothers, and it also offers them wisdom and spiritual guidance as they nurture and lead their families.

One of the most meaningful gifts we can give to a mother—whether our own, a grandmother, aunt, sister, or daughter—is to pray for her. Lifting her up in prayer is a powerful way to show love and support.

To those who are missing a beloved mother or grandmother, my heart is with you. I’ll be holding the memory of my late grandmothers close, and I pray you find comfort in remembering the love and legacy they left behind.

Praying each of you has a blessed and peaceful Mother’s Day.

Movies & More... 🎬

I am sooooo excited to watch the When Hope Calls Season 2 Finale!!! I'm hoping I'll get the chance tonight via Pure Flix. And while I can't wait to see it, I truly don't want this season to end. This season 2 has been spectacular and every similar word the Webster dictionary has for incredible!!! I can't even imagine there won't be a season 3, but hoping Great American Family/Media will make an announcement (either way, but hpefully, positive) soon!

Okay... so Love In The Clouds looks like it might be a nice movie; however, I can't help from feeling the timing for this premiere seems off - due to the cast wearing heavy coats, scarves, hats, and gloves. Based on the press pics and some of the video promos, it just doesn't look like a movie that should premiere in May on Mother's Day weekend. It looks more like a Fall or Winter January movie in my opinion. It is really great, though, to see both Paul Greene and Gail O'Grady on Hallmark again! (Kinda makes me want to pull out "All I Want for Christmas" and watch it! Love that Christmas classic! And... by the way, speaking of classics, "A Christmas Detour," starring Paul Greene and Candace Cameron Bure, airs on the Hallmark Channel Friday night!!!)

As I mentioned above, The Jane Mysteries: Murder At Moseby has aired on Hallmark+ previously, and I have seen this movie. In my opinion, this murder-mystery is best suited for pre-teen age and up.

UPtv is airing the third movie in the Love Club Moms series, The Love Club Moms: Harper. While I haven't seen this movie, it does sound like a woman who is not divorced and still married in the eyes of the law (and most importantly, God), may be entertaining the idea of dating. If this is truly the case, I cannot recommend this movie.

Please know, I haven't prescreened the new movies airing this weekend (except the The Jane Mysteries). If you'd like to share a review after the movies air, please do so in comments below.

Blessings to you all!

Happy Mother's Day Weekend!

Streaming Changes...

There's been a lot of talk recently about streaming.

Hallmark movie content left Peacock on May 1st.

And now, friendly TV subscribers, have you heard the latest news? (Faithful It's a Wonderful Movie follower Jim just alerted me to this.)

Streamable shared, "Roku, the largest streaming provider in North America, announced that it had acquired the family-friendly streaming service Frndly TV."

See details here:
https://thestreamable.com/roku-acquires-streaming-service-frndly-tv

Let's hope there won't be any drastic changes, for those of us who subscribe to frndly TV. It is already a great service at such an excellent price.



***************************


On My Watch List...

This weekend, I'm looking forward to watching all three of the new programs!

I'm most excited to see the 5th episode of "When Hope Calls"! (Hoping to watch tonight on Pure Flix!) This season has been truly wonderful. Each episode is so beautiful; my only wish... is that each episode and this season could be longer.

And Hats Off To Love looks fun. Ginna Claire Mason is such a joy to watch! I just wish they could've filmed this movie in Kentucky at Churchill Downs, since that is the setting for the story.

I couldn't get into the first Love Club Moms movie, but I've always liked Rebecca Dalton and Corey Sevier, so I'm hoping this one is better, even though some of the reviews on Amazon are mixed.

Please note: I haven't pre-screened the new movies listed above. If you'd like to post a review on whether a film is family-friendly, please share in comments.

I hope you all have a lovely first weekend in May... filled with lots of sunshine and pleasant weather!

Blessings to you all,

SHINING HIS LIGHT:

And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 

fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith.

Happy National Day of Prayer!

Blessings to you all on this National Day of Prayer!

As we mark this special day, let's come together in harmony to pray for our nation and those who lead it.

Today, we unite our hearts nationwide, offering prayers for restoration and revival.

By humbling ourselves before the Lord, we have faith that He hears us and responds with love and grace.

Prayer transcends a simple moment; it’s a call for God to engage and intervene in extraordinary ways.

My prayer...

Dear Lord, Jesus... I pray that you will restore and heal our land.

Help us come together in seeking You first and foremost.

I lift up my dear family, friends, and those who lead over us, and I pray for a hopeful, bright future.

May peace fill our hearts and extend throughout our nation and around the world.

I pray many will discover the true joy and serenity in knowing and trusting in You, Lord.

Thank you, Jesus, the Lamb of God, for taking away our sins and for your sacrifice that offers us redemption.

You are the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end.

Let Your kingdom come and Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

In Jesus' mighty name,

Amen.

If you have a prayer request, please share in the comments below. My family and I have been praying about a challenging situation, and we recently witnessed the Lord's powerful intervention, knowing without a doubt, that His grace guided us through. And I pray the same for you.

The images above are from "When Hope Calls" Season 2, Episode 3. At the end of the day, the orphan children knelt in prayer, giving thanks to the Lord for their home and safety. This beautiful scene touched my heart deeply. May we all be thankful for the blessings we have and trust in Him, especially when we face life's many challenges.

God bless you all...

on this National Day of Prayer,

“If my people, who are called by my name, 

will humble themselves and pray... 

I will hear from heaven and will heal their land.”

The 3 Most Frequently Asked Questions About "When Hope Calls" Season 2, including Where to Watch Season 1 and More - SEE HERE:

Since we are just about THREE weeks away (as of THIS SUNDAY!) until the Season 2 premiere of "When Hope Calls" on Great American Family on Sunday, April 6th, I figured it would be the perfect moment to address the THREE most frequently asked questions about the show.

Before I share those questions, though, I couldn't resist sharing above the new "When Hope Calls" Season 2 poster Great American Family released yesterday, especially since I know many of you are just as excited as I am about the new season!

The actors and actresses featured in the poster are Cindy Busby, Christopher Russell, Wendy Crewson, Hannake Talbot, Sarah Fisher, Jon McClaren, and Nick Bateman.

(Reminder: For those of you who stream on Pure Flix, you'll be able to watch early on Thursday, April 3rd!)

Alright, let's take a closer look into the three most popular questions I've come across regarding "When Hope Calls." I'll do my best to provide answers for each one.


The first question is...

Where can I watch Season 1 of "When Hope Calls"?

* Season 1 of "When Hope Calls" can be streamed through Hallmark+ - *click here for details* (The service currently offers a 7-day free trial).

* Amazon Prime also offers a low price to Buy Season 1 to stream - *click here for details*.

* Or if you prefer, the first season of "When Hope Calls" is also available on DVD through Amazon - *click here for details*.

* The Christmas episodes of "When Hope Calls," which are considered to be the first two episodes of Season 2, can be streamed through Great American Pure Flix - *click here for details*. (The service currently offers a 7-day free trial for new members)


The 2nd most asked question...

Will Great American Family air Season 1 of "When Hope Calls" before airing Season 2?

* Unfortunately, Great American Family doesn't have the rights to the first season of "When Hope Calls" at this time. The show originally premiered on Hallmark's streaming platform before being broadcast on the Hallmark Channel. Currently, the only way to view the first season of "When Hope Calls" is through Hallmark+, unless, of course, an agreement is eventually reached between the networks.

* Great American Family does own the rights to their two Christmas episodes that start off season 2. This means there's a chance they might air those episodes before the April premiere, so let's be sure to keep an eye on the schedule!


The third most asked question...

Will any of the actors from the first season of "When Hope Calls" be making a return for season two?

The answer to that is... YES! Among the new characters seen in the poster above, you will also see several familiar faces in season two.

Actors returning include:

Morgan Kohan

Ryan-James Hatanaka

Kalinka Petrie

Wendy Crewson

Jefferson Brown

Hanneke Talbot

Neil Crone

Elizabeth Saunders

Note: Some of the actors from season 1 will be in limited episodes in season two, while others are returning for the entire season.

Jon McClaren is one of the new actors; however, he will be playing the role of Sam Tremblay, previously portrayed by Marshall Williams in season one and in the Christmas episodes.

When We Can Hope to See "When Hope Calls" Season 2 on Great American Family

Curious TV viewers sent in questions about their favorite shows to the popular website, TV Line, which gives viewers a guide to television programming and streaming. One of the questions submitted by a man named Steve was a question on the Great American Family series When Hope Calls.

Steve asked, "Has a date been decided yet concerning the premiere of Season 2 of When Hope Calls?"

Matt from TV Line responded, "I don’t have an exact premiere date, but I am told the Great American Family series will launch its sophomore run during Q2 (that means “April-June”) of this year."

Isn't this exciting news? I want to thank our friend, Maria, for alerting us all to this wonderful news for "When Hope Calls"! I had hoped and guessed that might be the timing, but it's nice to see a little confirmation on this.

Also, today is Christopher Russell's birthday! GAF shared a picture of Christopher in his mountie uniform (seen above) on their socials with this message: "Join us in wishing Christopher Russell a very Happy Birthday! 🎉

And enjoy a sneak peek of Season 2 of #WhenHopeCalls - premiering on Great American Family in 2025! Get ready for more heartwarming moments & captivating stories! Stay tuned for a sneak peek of what's to come!"

Hopefully, this upcoming sneak peek will reveal even more details on the season 2 premiere date!
