Hallmark+ will launch just in time for the slew of fall TV debuts.
On September 10, the on-demand streaming app, currently titled Hallmark Movies Now, will be rebranded. Original series “The Chicken Sisters,” based on the New York Times bestseller by KJ Dell’Antonia, will debut at launch. New episodes of the drama, which stars Schuyler Fisk, Genevieve Angelson, Lea Thompson and Wendie Malick, will then drop every Thursday starting on September 12.
The unscripted series “Celebrations with Lacey Chabert” will also be available at launch, with the Hallmark staple as the host. The 10-episode aspirational series will follow as Chabert surprises deserving heroes with a celebration of a lifetime. New episodes will be released every Thursday.
