Hallmark Media press release

During a virtual panel hosted by the Television Critics Association, President of Hallmark Media and Hallmark Chief Brand Officer Darren Abbott and Head of Programming for Hallmark Media Michelle Vicary announced the annual “Fall into Love” programming event will feature two all-new original Halloween movies, premiering the first two Saturdays in October.

Julie Gonzalo (“3 Bed, 2 Bath, 1 Ghost,” “Eli Stone”), James Trevena (“Lost in Paradise,” “Charlie Says”) star in “A Knight to Remember,” premiering Saturday, Oct. 3 (8 p.m. ET/PT), on Hallmark Channel and streaming the next day on Hallmark+. Also starring Chris McNally (“3 Bed, 2 Bath, 1 Ghost,” “When Calls the Heart”).

Meghan Ory (“Chesapeake Shores,” “Sullivan’s Crossing”), Kevin McGarry (“When Calls the Heart,” “The Wedding Veil”) team up in “The Spirit of Halloween” – a Halloween take on “A Christmas Carol.” Lachlan Quarmby (“Hope Valley: 1874,” “Providence Falls”) also appears as the Ghost of Halloween Future. The movie premieres Saturday, Oct. 10 (8 p.m.) on Hallmark Channel and next day on Hallmark+.

About ‘A Knight to Remember’

When practical museum conservator Emily Porter (Gonzalo) restores a centuries-old statue of legendary knight Sir Griffin de Beauford (Trevena), one unexpected kiss brings him magically back to life and turns her carefully ordered world upside down. As Emily helps the chivalrous time-traveler navigate modern Chicago, pumpkin spice lattes, a Halloween medieval fayre, and an FBI investigation led by her ex-husband, she begins to rediscover the wonder and romance she thought she had left behind. But with a rare celestial conjunction approaching and Griffin’s fate hanging in the balance, Emily must decide whether the safest heart is one kept guarded or one brave enough to believe in a love written in the stars.

About ‘The Spirit of Halloween’

Brilliant bridal designer Everly Stone (Ory) has no patience for Halloween, especially the beloved fire-station bash that once left her heartbroken in front of everyone she knew. But when her late mentor appears with a glamorous warning, Everly is swept through one unforgettable night by three mischievous spirits who reveal the joy she lost, the people she’s pushing away, and the future she might miss if she keeps hiding behind work and fear. With a loyal assistant ready for more, a town waiting to welcome her back, and longtime friend Beau Madison (McGarry) still carrying a spark from their past, Everly must decide whether Halloween is the night that broke her heart or the one that can finally help it heal.
