Paris is Always a Good Idea Episode 1: Paris Revisited
In our Paris is Always a Good Idea Episode 1 review, we’re diving into Hallmark+’s new series inspired by Jenn McKinlay’s novel and starring Lacey Chabert and Scott Michael Foster. What begins as a business trip to Paris quickly becomes a deeply personal journey as Chelsea revisits the unfinished wishes her late mother left behind—and perhaps a few former loves along the way. We’re breaking down the emotional premiere, the undeniable chemistry between Chelsea and Jason Knightly, Hallmark’s unexpected obsession with the word “lovers,” and why this may be one of the network’s most mature, emotionally layered premieres yet.
Paris is Always a Good Idea Episode 1: Paris Revisited premiered on Thursday, July 30, 2026 exclusively on Hallmark+. Learn more about how to get Hallmark+ for free with a library card.
