HALLMARK SCHEDULE HIGHLIGHTS:

This section of our Heavy on Hallmark Planner guides you through all the new, fun movies and shows scheduled to air over the next few days. Note: you can always find Hallmark Channel’s entire programming schedule for the weekend on their site, as well as Hallmark Mystery’s lineup for the weekend here.

Hallmark Mystery Premiere: 

The weekend kicks off with a brand new mystery featuring “When Calls The Heart” star Chris McNally and Holland Roden, who Hallmark fans may recognize from 2022’s “Time For Him to Come Home for Christmas” and 2023’s “Making Waves.” In the new “Tipline Mysteries: Dial 1 for Murder,” she plays Maddie Moore, a concierge at a Michigan hotel who moonlights at the
Detroit Free Press in their tipline department. When she gets a tip about a planned jewelry heist and potential murder plot, she ropes in newly-promoted and reluctant Detective Beeks, played by McNally, to help. “Tipline Mysteries: Dial 1 for Murder” premieres on Hallmark Mystery on Friday, June 7 at 9 p.m. Eastern time. 

Hallmark Channel Movie Premiere:

Continuing Hallmark Channel’s June “Passport to Love” theme, Saturday’s premiere takes us to France, where Bethany Joy Lenz filmed “Savoring Paris” with co-stars Ben Wiggins and Stanley Weber. Hallmark’s brief synopsis states, “Disillusioned with her life, Ella embarks on a soul searching journey to Paris where she navigates love, self discovery – and cheese – against the enchanting backdrop of The City of Love.” Mark your calendar or set your DVRs for the Hallmark Channel premiere on Saturday, June 8, at 8 p.m. Eastern time. 

New ‘When Calls The Heart’ Episode: 

An all-new episode of “When Calls The Heart” premieres on Sunday, June 9 at 9 p.m. Eastern time. In the 10th episode of season 11, Hallmark’s synopsis says, “Allie (Jaeda Lily Miller) makes a daring decision and Nathan (Kevin McGarry) and Elizabeth (Erin Krakow) rush to intervene. Uncovered memories shift Lucas’ (McNally) plans. Faith (Andrea Brooks) takes a big step. Mei (Amanda Wong) cooks for Hickam’s family.”

Producers will follow multiple “superfans” on the trip and are taking applications now from fans interested in being featured.

Enjoy your holiday weekend, Hallmarkies!
