Your Hallmark summer forecast shows five new movies heading your way in August with a 100% chance of swoons!
Get excited--you'll recognize all the familiar faces, including a few who have been away for too long!
The FIRST THREE movies to premiere in August fall under the banner "Hallmark Channel's 25th Birthday" as the network celebrates 25 years of programming. The LAST TWO movies in August mark an early start to the annual "Fall Into Love" event. This is a switch from previous years when all August movies constituted Part 2 of "Summer Nights" programming following Christmas in July.
Toast to Italy
Premieres: August 1 at 8pm Eastern on Hallmark Channel
Starring: Torrey DeVitto and Will Kemp
(Hallmark Channel's 25th Birthday movie)
PLOT: Jenny travels to Italy for a special bottle of wine for her sister's wedding. She meets Arrigo, also looking for the famous "Love Wine" and together their search leads to a love of their own.
Torrey hasn't starred in a Hallmark movie since Love's Greek to Me in 2023. She likely took a break to enjoy married life after tying the knot in 2024 and becoming a mom three months later.
Will's last movie with Hallmark was My Sweet Austrian Holiday in 2024, so two years without him is far too long!
Absolutely Devoted to You
Premieres: August 8 at 8pm Eastern on Hallmark Channel
Starring: Kimberley Sustad and Jesse Metcalfe
(Hallmark Channel's 25th Birthday movie)
PLOT: An ambitious TV producer devises a brilliant plan to reunite a 90's boy band for an annual summer beach bash, but her idea is derailed when she falls for the band's reluctant lead singer.
Jesse hasn't appeared in a Hallmark movie for FIVE YEARS, the last being a Martha's Vineyard Mystery. Fans have been waiting to hear him sing again since he charmed audiences with Cowboy Rides Away when he starred with Autumn Reeser in A Country Wedding in 2015.
Aussie at Heart
Premieres: August 15 at 8pm Eastern on Hallmark Channel
Starring: Rhiannon Fish and Daniel Lissing
(Hallmark Channel's 25th Birthday movie)
PLOT: Samara, a former lawyer now event planner, reunites with Nate, her ex‑coworker and rival, to plan a couple's anniversary in Queensland and begin to confront their past and fall for each other.
When Hallmark originally teased this movie, it was titled Love on Deck.
Love Finds You

Aimee's last Hallmark movie was An Easter Bloom in 2024, so it's been a while!
Much About Love
