Hallmark Media began the year 2026 with an exciting array of movies and TV shows, promising even more releases throughout the year.
In December 2025, Hallmark introduced its “Winter Escape” lineup, which spotlighted five new romantic comedies that premiered in January. The first film of 2026, Lost in Paradise, starred Lacey Chabert and Ian Harding and was filmed in the scenic beauty of Fiji.
Chabert shared her enthusiasm for the movie’s January 3 release on Instagram, saying, “This movie is an adventure filled with laughter and a hint of romance 😉 I hope you’ll watch!”
On the following day, fans rejoiced as they returned to Hope Valley for the launch of When Calls the Heart Season 13.
February brought forth the network’s “Loveuary” lineup, featuring four new rom-coms, while the “Spring Into Love” slate delighted audiences with six fresh romance films throughout March and April.
As May rolled in, Hallmark’s schedule was packed with intriguing mysteries that had fans speculating about every twist and turn. Meanwhile, Hallmark+ premiered a new reality show titled Mom’s the Bride. June’s lineup promises to whisk viewers away to Greece and Texas, followed by the beloved “Christmas in July” programming in July.
