Providence Falls: Chance of A Lifetime (Movie 1)

This week on Girls Gone Hallmark, we’re bending the space-time continuum and our usual expectations as we review Providence Falls: Chance of A Lifetime. Rookie cop Cora thinks she’s just getting a new partner for her first big case but Liam isn’t just a dreamy detective with an Irish lilt and a mysterious past…he’s her reincarnated soulmate sent to rewrite history. Time may not be on their side, but fate clearly has other plans. Join us as we dig into destiny and second-chance love across lifetimes because when it comes to Hallmark time travel, we’re always here for the ride.

Providence Falls: Chance of A Lifetime premiered on Hallmark Channel on Saturday August 2, 2025 (and is available to stream on Hallmark+).
