Plus, Chesapeake Shores ends its six-season run. Here’s everything new that’s coming to Hallmark in October 2022.

‘Girlfriendship’ stars Tamera Mowry-Housely

A travel mix-up ends up turning Samara’s (Tamera Mowry-Housely) birthday getaway into a week-long journey that sees her and her friends Eva (Krystal Joy Brown) and Renee (Lyndie Greenwood) rediscovering their passions, their purpose, and romance. Girlfriendship also stars Brad James.

“This movie is friendship, growth, and love,” Brown said in a behind-the-scenes video (via Hallmark Channel). “I was drawn to it because of the connection with the women.”

Girlfriendship airs Saturday, October 1 at 8 p.m. ET.

‘Pumpkin Everything’ airs on Hallmark Channel on October 8

Hallmark embraces fall’s favorite flavor in Pumpkin Everything, which stars Taylor Cole, Michael Ironside, and Corey Sevier.

While there, she reconnects with an old flame, Kit (Sevier).

Pumpkin Everything airs Saturday, October 8 at 8 p.m. ET.

‘Autumn in the City’ airs October 15

In Autumn in the City, Aimeé Teegarden plays a woman named Piper who moves to New York for a fresh start. As she bounces between temp jobs, she meets Austin Edwards (Evan Roderick), an aspiring writer who wants to escape the shadow of his mom (Colleen Wheeler), a famous journalist.
