In an exciting lineup for March 2025, the Hallmark Channel is set to captivate audiences with five new original films. Among these premieres, three movies will delve into the world of royalty, continuing the network's tradition of heartwarming and romantic narratives. The launch comes on the heels of Hallmark’s Loveuary celebration in February, which honored Valentine's Day with several enchanting films. As the month of love transitions into March, fans can look forward to a series of captivating stories that promise both drama and romance.
The first segment of this royal extravaganza features tales centered around princely and princessly characters who find themselves entangled in unexpected romances. Each film offers a unique perspective on what it means to wear the crown while discovering love in the most surprising places. From a reluctant royal learning to embrace his heritage to a princess stepping out of her comfort zone, these stories will surely delight viewers.
"The Royal We" introduces Princess Bea, who must step up after her sister elopes with a commoner. Played by Mallory Jansen, Bea finds herself paired with Desmond, portrayed by Charlie Carrick, in an arranged marriage. The teaser reveals moments of playful rebellion as Bea tries to enjoy simple pleasures away from her royal duties. Meanwhile, "The Reluctant Royal" follows Johnny, a mechanic from Philadelphia, as he discovers his father is a duke and navigates his newfound status while growing closer to Prudence, his father's advisor. Lastly, "Royal-ish" presents Lacey, an amusement park princess who unexpectedly becomes a real-life governess to a young princess, leading her on an adventurous journey to a foreign land.
Beyond the regal themes, two additional films offer heartfelt stories that resonate with everyday life. These narratives explore themes of love, personal growth, and second chances, providing a balanced mix of emotion and entertainment. Both films are part of the "Hearts Around the Table" series, set in the same world with interconnected characters.
In "Hearts Around the Table: Jenna’s First Love," viewers follow Jenna as she embarks on her first romantic adventure. The ensemble cast, including Ashley Newbrough, Steve Lund, and Mindy Cohn, brings depth and charm to this tender story. The sequel, "Hearts Around the Table: Shari’s Second Act," focuses on Shari, a woman seeking a fresh start after a breakup. Moving to Washington D.C., she rediscovers her passion for painting and meets a repairman who also happens to be a gallery owner. This tale of renewal and self-discovery promises to touch hearts and inspire dreams.
