Hallmark+ Announces New Televisions Show, Ripple
Hallmark isn’t playing around. They are growing and they are changing with the times. It’s something that we definitely can appreciate and something that we wish that a lot more studios would do. People are always changing and growing. Nothing ever stands still.
One way that Hallmark is evolving with the times is their streaming service, Hallmark+. The streaming service is launching September 10th and has some pretty amazing television and movies that will debut exclusively on the service. One of those is a show that just received a straight to series order.
Ripple.
Ripple is defined as, “a small wave or series of waves on the surface of water, especially as caused by an object dropping into it or a slight breeze.” So if you’re like us, you’re reading too literally into this and thinking that it’s a show about water. You would be wrong.
Lionsgate says that the show is, “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.”
New York! Sounds exciting to us and that’s not just because we live here. It’s because New York is exciting.
“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,” shared Lisa Hamilton Daly, Executive Vice President, Programming, Hallmark Media.
Hallmark+ says that, “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.”
Sounds very Hallmark 2.0. We can totes get behind this. We’re excited as we wait to hear more. We need casting and need to know more about the characters. We need all the information.
There is so much love Hallmark and can’t wait to see what Hallmark+ brings us. Can you?
