Mark your calendars! Hallmark Channel has a star-studded line-up of longtime fan-favorites set to appear in new movies and series over the next few weeks, from Holly Robinson Peete to Rhiannon Fish. And there are some well-known newcomers to the network, too. Here’s what we know is on the way for May and June 2025.
May 2025 Hallmark Channel Programming Overview
May 3 — “Hats Off To Love” — 8 p.m. Eastern time: We’ve missed Robinson Peete, who’s starred in 15 Hallmark movies and the network’s reality show “Meet the Peetes,” but hasn’t been in a Hallmark movie since 2022’s “Holiday Heritage.” Happily, she’ll return to the network on May 3, co-starring with rising Hallmark star and Broadway favorite Ginna Claire Mason in the new Kentucky Derby-themed rom-com “Hats Off to Love.”
Mason plays Stella, who designs hats and fascinators for Robinson Peete’s character, socialite Rosalind, per Hallmark’s synopsis. Sparks fly when Stella meets her son Christian, played by Hallmark newcomer and “Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist” alum John Clarence Stewart, who’s training a horse to compete in the “Louisville Derby.”
May 5 — “The Motherhood” Series Premiere — 8 p.m. Eastern time: “Nashville” and “Friday Night Lights” alum Connie Britton makes her Hallmark debut with the series premiere of “The Motherhood,” its first reality show since 2019. Two back-to-back episodes will air on May 5, while the remaining episodes will air each Monday night through June 2.
Dedicated to uplifting single moms, the series shows Britton and her “village” of helpers — including a home design specialist, a parenting coach, and a style expert — swooping in to help single mothers. According to Deadline, they’ll give each resilient mom “a better living space,” update her wardrobe, and offer parenting advice.
May 10 — “Love in the Clouds” — 8 p.m. Eastern time: This movie brings two stars back to Hallmark.
