Crown Media Roadhouse Romance
The Hallmark Channel is premiering its newest movie, “Roadhouse Romance,” on Saturday, September 11, at 9 p.m. Eastern/8 p.m. Central. The movie stars Tyler Hynes and Lauren Alaina. Although the movie takes place in Tennessee, it wasn’t actually filmed there. Instead, it was filmed in Canada, the cast shared.
‘Roadhouse Romance’ Was Filmed in Canada
The movie was filmed in the Vancouver, Canada, region, according to a live interview with Hynes and Alaina. The movie started filming in mid-April and wrapped on May 7. Vancouver doubled for Tennessee in the movie.

Alaina shared that in the movie, her character has been deployed in the Army and she just came home when she bumps into Hynes’ character, Luke. Her life is falling apart when she meets him, she shared.
“I loved it,” she said about filming the movie. “Obviously came to Canada to shoot it. It’s kind of funny to me to shoot a movie in ‘Tennessee’ in Vancouver. But it was a great experience; I loved it. I love acting, actually! … It was a lot of work in a short amount of time, but I’m excited.”
Hynes said that he recently went to Nashville for the first time.
“I understand why Vancouver might be a little different than actual Tennessee,” he said, laughing.
When asked later what it was like filming in a “small town,” the actors jokes about whether Vancouver qualified for that. They said that they did visit a few smaller towns in the region while filming.
“They did take us to a few really cute towns though,” Alaina said.
According to one Instagram post, Hynes was filming for the movie on his birthday.
In her interview with Hallmark, Alaina shared that although she didn’t write any songs for this movie specifically, she did perform two of her own original songs.
