Hallmark Channel’s longest running, most-watched primetime series ever, When Calls the Heart is getting a spinoff to premiere in 2019 on Crown Media Family Networks’ Svod subscription service, Hallmark Movies Now. This was one of several announcement made by Crown Media at TCA, including a mystery movie headlined by soap star Susan Lucci.
When Hopes Calls (working title) is the first original streaming series on Hallmark Movies Now, which launched in October 2017 and gives subscribers access to nearly 1,000 hours of family friendly content not available on Crown Media’s linear channels.
