In the last couple of years, Hallmark Channel has canceled several popular series including Chesapeake Shores, Good Witch and Ride. Fans were heartbroken, while some were still missing Cedar Cove which was canceled some years ago, Cedar Cove.
However, there is hope for fans as a Chesapeake Shores alum has revealed that the stars of the series are trying to find a way to bring it back to our screens.
Chesapeake Shores stars talk about possible spinoff on Hallmark
Stephen Huszar was recently interviewed by Us Weekly, revealing that the cast of Chesapeake Shores is working on ways to bring the series back as a spinoff.
“That’s really up to the producers and Hallmark, of course,” he said. “But I think everyone would agree. We’d love to get back together, especially at that beautiful location where we shot on Vancouver Island.”

When Hallmark canceled the show in 2022, they claimed they did so to end the series on a “high note.” At that time the feel-good network wrote on Twitter:
We are so proud of Chesapeake Shores, a show that has captured imaginations and was reaching a natural conclusion and we decided to wrap up the show on a high note in the sixth and final season, which premieres later this summer.
Also at the time, TV Series Finale reported lower ratings during the fifth and second-to-last season. Season 5 averaged around .10 in the 18-49 age range, around 46 percent lower in that demographic than the previous season. Moreover, rates were 15 percent lower in live + same-day viewership ratings.

There was almost a Chesapeake Shores movie
Meanwhile, there was talk back in 2019 of a Chesapeake Shores spinoff movie. However, it didn’t happen. It was planned to be an on-location movie starring all three O’Brien sisters: Abby (Meghan Ory), Bree (Emilie Ullerup) and Jess (Laci Malley). However, the movie idea was eventually dropped, with executive producer Daniel Paulson saying:
I’d be happy to do holiday or specials for them and I know When Calls the Heart has done that. Maybe if the fans speak up and let that be known, we could do one.
We talked about doing one last year, but COVID reared its ugly head. It was going to be a destination film where the three sisters would go somewhere, because they’re great together. We talked about Ireland since the family is from there and actually wrote a script. Every season we would do a different exotic location.
