Hallmark’s Providence Falls Channels Outlander Drama, with a Family Twist

Hallmark Channel spoilers and updates reveal the network’s newest movie event, Providence Falls, includes everything: a historical love triangle that transcends time, a mystery to solve, and even interfering angels. It premieres this Saturday, Aug. 2 at 8/7c, with a repeat on Sunday, August 3 at the same time.

A Story Of Fate, Love And Free Will

The grand miniseries tells a tale of love, destiny, and free will-iIf you miss its first two showings on Hallmark, you can watch it on Hallmark + the following day.

Set in 1844 Ireland, thief Liam (Lachlan Quarmby) attempts to rob the wrong woman when he breaks into Cora’s (Katie Stevens) large home.

The aristocrat’s daughter confronts Liam, and they fall in love, but a tragic twist leads to Cora being reincarnated in modern times as a detective in Providence Falls, Oregon.

At the same time, the Angels of Destiny send Liam to the present, where he and Cora team up and is given a mission by The Powers That Be.

He’s to reunite the woman he loves with another man: attorney Finn (Evan Roderick), the man she was meant to marry in 1844 before Liam “stole” her heart.

“Outlander” But Where They Keep Their Clothes On

With all the time travel and grand romance, it’s not surprising that Quarmby refers to Providence Falls as “Outlander [but] where they keep their pants on;” (This is family-friendly Hallmark, after all!)

For Stevens, Providence Falls is her first project with Hallmark, and she is eager for audiences to experience how ambitious and genre-bending it is for the network. “I believe people are accustomed to a specific type of Hallmark movie.

Hallmark has always excelled in romance films, but I think this one has so much more happening because there’s mystery and supernatural elements,” Stevens shares with Soaps.com.

Stevens Praises The Cinematography

Cinematically, the way this movie is filmed stands out from other Hallmark film; they did a wonderful job. It feels a bit more refined since we got to film in Ireland and explore two different time periods-this gives viewers much more to engage with.

Viewers will also have plenty to think about regarding Liam and Finn, and they might feel just as conflicted as Cora does between the two men.

“In 1844, Cora sees [Liam] as a symbol of adventure and freedom, allowing her to choose her own path instead of having it dictated to her,” says Stevens. However, don’t overlook Finn, who “offers safety and comfort; he is the one she is meant to be with.”

Stevens And Quarmby Continue To Discuss The Characters

Clearly, he’s a strong candidate and would be an excellent choice for her.… I agree with the audience; it’s hard to decide between the two.” Even Liam finds himself supporting Team Finn as he learns more about him and forms a fragile friendship with the lawyer.

“It would really be great if Liam could just dislike him, right? But Finn is fundamentally a good person,” Quarmby explains. “And he’s an ideal match for Cora-he’s the best option. So Liam must come to terms with the fact that he wants to dislike him, but he simply can’t.

Is Finn As Decent As He Seems On The Surface?

Is Finn truly as good-hearted as he seems at first glance? Roderick points out that there’s a slight edge to his altruistic façade; “He definitely has this persona and a specific manner in which he presents himself to others,” Roderick explains. “However, maybe there’s something lurking behind the scenes that’s a bit more sinister.

Liam, on the other hand, appears dark and enigmatic, yet beneath it all, he possesses a golden heart. It’s almost as if we’re embodying contrasting character arcs, in a sense.”

Meddling Angels Try To Steer The Trio’s Futures

As the story of Cora, Liam, and Finn unfolds, and those meddlesome angels attempt to influence the trio’s destinies. Providence Falls delves into profound themes regarding “second chances, the chance to reinvent oneself, forgiving oneself for past mistakes, and looking ahead to the future,” states executive producer JoAnna Garcia Swisher.

She further adds that “the concept of soulmates and enduring love across lifetimes is truly a beautiful idea.” Providence Falls Part 1 is set to premiere this Saturday, Aug. 2 at 8/7c (and will be available for streaming the following day on Hallmark+). The subsequent two films are scheduled for Aug. 9 and Aug. 16.
