What’s On Hallmark Channel in August 2023
With Christmas in July in the rearview mirror, Hallmark won’t take a break! New movies and new seasons are headed your way! Mark your calendars for everything on the Hallmark Channel in August 2023.
2023 Summer Nights Lineup
Aloha Heart
Premieres: Saturday, July 29,
Starring: Taylor Color and Kanoa Goo
We mentioned this in our July post, since it technically premieres in July. But it’s part of the Summer Nights lineup so let’s talk about it again!
Once again, we’re crossing everything that this isn’t yet another Chasing Waterfalls remake, but the “conservationist” traveling to Hawaii for a wedding who gets launched into work mode has a worried.
What we’re not worried about? Wowie Zowie Kanoa Goo. We bet he and Taylor Cole have fire chemistry.
Making Waves
Premieres: Saturday, August 5
Staring: Holland Roden and Corey Cott
We adored Holland Roden in Time for Him to Come Home for Christmas in 2022 (even if we thought the movie itself had some serious plotholes.) We’re looking forward to seeing her play a music exec vying to represent a hot new band. Of course the frontman of the band is her childhood sweetheart.
No official word on where this was filmed, although it is set in Outer Banks, NC. Holland Roden is currently filming in Victoria, B.C. Can Canada stand in for NC? Will it have to? We’ll find out.
A Safari Romance
Premieres: Saturday, August 12
Starring: Brittany Bristow and Andrew Walker
Let’s start with “filmed on location in South Africa.” Yep. This movie was written by Agnes Bristow, directed by Leif Bristow and stars their daughter Brittany Bristow. Plus, we’re never going to turn down an opportunity to see Andrew Walker. Walker plays a theme park designer on location to grab footage for a ride he’s designing. Bristow, of course, plays the scientist who is his guide.
I’m a sucker for elephants and am highly optimistic about this movie.
Never too Late to Celebrate
Premieres: Saturday, August 19
Starring: Alexa PenaVega and Carlos Penavega
The PenaVegas are back together. Alexa plays a dental assistant who falls for a substitute teacher who helps her connect with her Mexican roots.
The synopsis goes on to say that in spite of not enjoying large parties, she goes on to celebrate with a “double quincineara.”
This has silly misunderstandings written all over it to me. I hope to be proven wrong! We really love Alexa!
Napa Ever After
Premieres: Saturday, August 26
Starring: Denise Boutte and Colin Lawrence
When Cassandra inherits a winery, she’ll need the help of local Alec to renovate the property and maybe break down some walls in her heart. We love a small town contractor, y’all.
We’re also excited to see Lawrence get some redemption after appearing on the final Evergreen movie via iPad only!
Hallmark Movies and Mysteries Premieres in August
It appears that the Movies and Mysteries channel will be sticking with Friday premieres for now to leave room for When Calls the Heart to soar solo on Sundays.
Big Sky River: The Bridal Path
Premieres: Friday, August 11
Starring: Emmanuelle Vaugier and Kavan Smith
This is a sequel to the 2022 movie Big Sky River. Now that Tara and Boone are in love, they must blend their families. Things might not go as smoothly as they had hoped.
Should we go back and watch the original? Let us know!
The More Love Grows
Premieres: Friday, August 18
Starring: Rachel Boston and Warren Christie
Y’all, the synopsis of this book sounds exactly like a book I can’t ever remember the title of! Helen’s husband asks for a divorce after dropping their daughter off at college.
Naturally she’s going to find a new love (and a new dog!)
