Hallmark Channel is heating up with its annual Summer Nights programming event. The cable destination is trotting out five all-new original movies every Saturday in August.
“Viewers can treat themselves to feel-good summer fantasy, love stories that will transport them back in time to make their dreams come true, to beautiful Costa Rica for a wedding destination, and to a place where they come face-to-face with their dream man,” Hallmark Media says in a press release.
Meanwhile, sibling channel Hallmark Mystery will debut two new whodunit movies. “Viewers will be taken on a wild crime solving ride with the help of man’s best friend, while one of Hope Valley’s favorite couples work to prove a childhood friend’s innocence,” the company adds.
Check out the lineup for both channels — and synopses from Hallmark Media — below.
