Kevin McGarry and fellow “When Calls the Heart” star Kayla Wallace are starring together in a new Hallmark movie together that’s premiering in March. Hallmark has released photos and a preview, giving fans an early glimpse at what to expect.
The Movie Premieres on Saturday, March 12
The new movie premieres on Saturday, March 12 at 8 p.m. Eastern/7 p.m. Central on the Hallmark Channel.
A synopsis shared by Hallmark reads: “Emily’s booming butterfly business delivers monarchs to a birthday party where she meets single dad, Garrett. With the help of Garrett and his daughter, Emily’s business begins to take flight.”
The movie premieres just a week after Wallace and McGarry will also be seen in the premiere of “When Calls the Heart” season 9, where McGarry plays Nathan and Wallace plays Fiona.
A trailer isn’t yet available on YouTube, but you can watch a preview on Hallmark’s website here or in Starwatch Byline’s video below.

According to a filming notice, the movie was filmed in Almonte, Ontario, Canada, from June 8-18, 2021.
At the time it was filmed, the synopsis was a little different. It read: “It’s summertime and Emily’s butterfly sanctuary business is a flutter of activity. Feeling Butterflies has been slowly growing, with weddings and parties calling for larger and larger butterfly releases. Things might be growing a bit faster if it weren’t for her competitor Mandy undercutting her prices and releasing Viceroys instead of Monarchs. Little does she know they’ll come head to head, competing for the Rebecca O’Keefe celebrity wedding. She’ll need all the help she can get…maybe even from single-dad Garrett and his adorable daughter Amanda!”

Some of the filming locations listed in the notice included Cashmere and Rose + Naismith Statue, Mill of Kintail, Elgin Street, and Evermore Wedding and Events.

Wallace and McGarry are dating in real-life, Heavy has previously reported.

Right around the time that season 9 of “When Calls the Heart” started filming again, Wallace shared a photo on Instagram of her and McGarry together. Krakow, who plays Elizabeth on the series, replied with a heart and Andrea Brooks, who plays Faith, replied: “Cuties!”

Rumors started that the two were dating in November 2020 when McGarry posted on Instagram, showing photos of the two together. Before the couple went fully public with their relationship, a source confirmed with ET Online in November 2020 that the two had recently started dating and they were very happy. Over time, they became more open about their relationship.
