Hallmark+ is adding new content to its roster!
The Hallmark Channel streaming service has given a straight-to-series order to the new one-hour drama series Ripple from Lionsgate TV, created by Michele Giannusa, via Deadline.
Ripple “explores how unexpectedly connected we are as human beings. Set in New York City, Nate, Kris, Walter and Aria have crossed paths hundreds of times, yet they’ve never met. Because of the seemingly minuscule decisions these core four make in the pilot, we’ll witness the ripple effect of how these strangers, all dealing with life’s challenges in their own way, are led to one another.”
“The message of this show is: just wait for the rainbow. Some of the best things in life can’t happen without the storm. Ripple amplifies a message of hope and reassurance that no matter what challenges come your way, we are never alone,” Hallmark+ adds.
Joni Lefkowitz is the showrunner.
Production is set to begin in September in Toronto, and casting is currently underway.
“Michele and Joni have crafted a beautiful story that celebrates how interconnected we all are and reminds us that the most extraordinary things can blossom from ordinary moments and hardships. The way this show weaves moments of sadness, joy, and everything in between is a journey that’s synonymous with our goals for Hallmark+ content – to bring a deep, enriching viewing journey that keeps our viewers invested episode to episode,” said Lisa Hamilton Daly, Executive Vice President, Programming, Hallmark Media, in a statement.
The new streaming service and membership program Hallmark+ is set to launch on Tuesday, September 10. Find out what’s coming to the service!
