Since Hallmark started premiering new movies year-round on the TV schedule, people have become increasingly enamored with the rom-coms for their charmingly predictable happy endings and the things they can teach us about life. Between the Hallmark Channel, Hallmark Mystery and Hallmark Movies Now (the network’s subscription streaming service), there are movies tailored to every season, even outside of the months leading up to Christmas.
That doesn’t mean Christmas isn’t still a huge draw for Hallmark fans, but while we wait for this year’s holiday slate to be announced — including that highly anticipated Kansas City Chiefs Christmas movie — there are plenty of great things in store. This list of upcoming Hallmark movies will be updated consistently to inform you of the best romantic comedies and (not too long from now) the best Christmas movies that the network has to offer so you can keep up with the latest projects of your favorite Hallmark actors like Lacey Chabert, Luke Macfarlane and Alison Sweeney. Let’s see what’s in store for August’s Summer Nights:
Jazz Ramsey: A K9 Mystery (Hallmark Mystery) - Friday, August 2, 9 p.m. ET
Starring: Rachel Skarsten and Corey Sevier
Based on the novel The Secret of Bones: A Jazz Ramsey Mystery by Kylie Logan, Jazz Ramsey: A K9 Mystery will see the titular K9 trainer (Rachel Skarsten) and her crime detection dog stumble on an old crime scene, with her ex-boyfriend Nick (Corey Sevier) getting pulled into the investigation too.
Junebug (Hallmark) - Saturday, August 3, 8 p.m. ET
Starring: Autumn Reeser and Aaron O’Connell
Inspired by an 8-year-old version of herself, Juniper (The Wedding Veil’s Autumn Reeser) starts to re-evaluate her life and begins to start writing again in the first of Hallmark’s Summer Nights slate, Juniper. Her younger self also encourages her to collaborate with Alex (Aaron O’Connell), and she ends up forming a personal connection with the cute artist. As their relationship develops, we’ll get to see Juniper push past her insecurities and start living a life that’s more of the one 8-year-old Junebug imagined.
My Dreams Of You (Hallmark) - Saturday, August 10, 8 p.m. ET
Starring: Skyler Samuels and Kapil Talwalkar
Hallmark movies often give their viewers a little fantasy by way of Christmas spirit or fate intervening to make sure everyone winds up in the right place for a kiss at the end. In My Dreams of You, that apparently happens in Dream Central, where the world’s dreams are made. Grace (Skyler Samuels) learns that there’s been a mix-up, and she’s not supposed to know Michael (Kapil Talwalkar), the handsome stranger from her dreams. Will they be able to keep their memories, or will they get set back on the “right” path away from each other?
A Costa Rican Wedding (Hallmark) - Saturday, August 17, 8 p.m. ET
Starring: Rhiannon Fish and Christopher Russell
Fresh off a breakup, Emily (Rhiannon Fish) turns her focus to her maid of honor duties for her BFF Phoebe (Brittany Carel) in A Costa Rican Wedding. However, Emily’s clumsy reputation has followed her to Central America, and a group of monkeys end up stealing the bag that holds the bride and groom’s priceless heirloom wedding rings. Emily is forced to team up with best man Ryan (Christopher Russell) — who also happens to be her longtime rival — to try to save their friends’ big day … and maybe spark a connection themselves?
The Magic Of Lemon Drops (Hallmark) - Saturday, August 24, 8 p.m. ET
Starring: Lyndsy Fonseca and Ian Harding.
In The Magic of Lemon Drops, Lolly (Lyndsy Fonseca) is given three of the titular treats by her Aunt Gert, with each allowing her to experience what her life would have been like if she’d made different choices. What would have happened if she’d followed her dreams? Pretty Little Liars’ Ian Harding co-stars.
Head Over Heels (Hallmark) - Saturday, August 31, 8 p.m. ET
Starring: Rebecca Dalton and Olivier Renaud
Addison (Rebecca Dalton) gets the opportunity of a lifetime in Head Over Heels when a luxury shoe designer offers her an internship leading up to New York Fashion Week. How do you achieve a work/life balance, though, and maintain your integrity when romance — possibly with PR guru Austin (Olivier Renaud) — tries to interfere? We know she’s going to fall head over heels, but will that be in love or a huge professional stumble?
It may be the dog days of summer outside, but aren’t those warm August nights just the perfect recipe for a little romance? Be sure to bookmark this list and check back regularly as we update it with the next season of Hallmark movies that will be headed our way soon.
