A Melbourne Match
Put another shrimp on the barbie because Hallmark is heading down under. A Melbourne Match drops us in Australia with Georgie, a travel writer who’s all deadlines and no downtime until she meets Zach, a charming Aussie ex-footballer who volunteers as her personal tour guide. With Melbourne vibes, wanderlust energy, and a romance that sneaks up on her between assignments, this one looks ready to prove that sometimes the best match isn’t in your inbox – it’s the one showing you around town. Starring Mallory Jansen and Ryan Corr, this feels like a cozy Hallmark rom-com with an Australian accent – and yes, we’re already saying “no worries” about it.
A Melbourne Match premiered on Saturday, January 10, 2025, on Hallmark Channel (and is available to stream on Hallmark+ the following day).
