HALLMARK CHANNEL GREENLIGHTS THIRD SEASON OF ITS HIT SERIES ‘CHESAPEAKE SHORES’
Chesapeake Shores Continues to be One of The Most Watched Original Series in Hallmark Channel History
PASADENA, CA – January 13, 2018 – Hallmark Channel announces it has renewed the network’s hit, original series “Chesapeake Shores” for a third season. Airing on Sunday nights at 9 p.m. ET/PT, “Chesapeake Shores” was one of Hallmark Channel’s most-watched original series. Production on 10 episodes for season three is scheduled to commence this year for a season three premiere Summer 2018. The announcement was made today as part of Crown Media Family Networks’ TV Critics Association Winter Press Tour.
“Viewers have fallen in love with the heartfelt and compelling storylines as each character navigates the complexities of life, love and choices,” said Michelle Vicary, Executive Vice President, Programming and Network Publicity, Crown Media Family Networks. “We look forward to continuing and further exploring the multi-generational family journeys that people of all ages can enjoy and relate to, which makes ‘Chesapeake Shores’ a fitting series for our brand and the quality, family entertainment we provide.”
Based on the novels of the same name by New York Times bestselling author Sherryl Woods, the series stars Jesse Metcalfe (“Dallas”), Meghan Ory (“Once Upon a Time”), Golden Globe® nominee Treat Williams (“Everwood,” Hair), Academy Award® nominee Diane Ladd (Wild at Heart), Barbara Niven (“Debbie Macomber’s Cedar Cove”), Laci J. Mailey (“Falling Skies”), Emilie Ullerup (“Sanctuary”), Brendan Penny (“Motive”) and Andrew Francis (“Final Destination 3”). Gregory Harrison (“One Tree Hill”), Victor Webster and Jerry Trimble guest starred in season two.
The multi-generational family drama “Chesapeake Shores” follows Abby O’Brien (Ory), a high-powered career woman, divorcee and mother to twin daughters, as she adjusts to life back in her hometown of Chesapeake Shores. Abby now balances a budding relationship with her former high school sweetheart, Trace (Metcalfe), working for a firm that does business with her uncompromising father Mick (Williams) and raising two young daughters. Returning to her hometown means engaging in the lives of her siblings: Jess (Mailey) a free-spirit trying to succeed as a bed and breakfast owner; Bree (Ullerup), a playwright who buys a bookstore in Chesapeake Shores after moving back home from Chicago; Kevin (Penny), a soldier adjusting to civilian life and new romance; and Connor (Francis), a new lawyer establishing his professional career. Having returned to Chesapeake Shores shortly after Abby, the O’Brien’s once-estranged mother Megan (Niven) strives to reestablish relationships with Abby and her siblings, though the O’Brien clan primarily looks to its wise grandmother Nell (Ladd) for guidance.
What do you think? Do you like the Chesapeake Shores TV show? Are you glad that it’s been renewed for a third season or, do you think it should have been cancelled instead?

Glad this was renewed, I have totally enjoyed watching it every week. That said, not sure I like all the changes from the books, though some are understandable. The most noticable change to me (besides Trace’s career) is that the twins in the book are not twins in the show, even though the description if the show says Abby has twins. And I really like Cedar Cove, too, was very disappointed when it was cancelled. Maybe keep these series and do a few less Christmas movies.
I have read all the books in the series and watching it on screen brings it all to life and helps everyone to understand and enjoy families being together and discover life, love and communication with each other. It shows people who don’t realize how special a family is or who you bring in to your group of friends you call family. Awesome show and kudos to Sheryl Woods for her books.
I love it growing up we watched Little House on the Prairie the Waltons as a family not all these bloody killing disgusting shows that are on now I love the show and they should put it on at eight not mine I hope they go for a fourth I know the third is starting this summer but it’s a great show I love it and I love the town actually I want to go to the town

I love this show and am looking forward to a brand new season. Thank you so much for renewing this. I feel like I am peaking into the lives of a beautiful family.

This is such a well written, acted show and speaks to the viewer as many others do not. Please keep it on the air!
I love Chesapeake Shores. Its well written, acted and good for all ages. There are so many shows that do not speak to the viewer as this one does. Please keep it on the air!
I wanted it definitely renewed for another season. Like Parenthood. It a program you can watch with whole family. No violence, no sexual innuendos. Just a family show set in Maine (?) wherever and it is beautiful.
THANKS FOR RENEWING THE SHOW ANOTHER SEASON.
GREAT News!! Love this show…..hope that Abby and Trace find each other again!
I am so glad you are bring it back What about the last three episodes you cancelled ? Thank you
Yes I love this series and am so happy to hear it’s back. It is nice to have something the whole family can watch together without fear of exposing them to something inappropriate or feel you have to explain.
I am sooo happy!! I didn’t watch it when it first premiered so I did an On Demand marathon & fell in love!!
I preferred Cedar Cove. The characters on this show actually get annoying. I’ve spoken with friends who feel the same as I do.
I totally agree. I enjoyed Cedar Cove, the characters and the beautiful scenery. I also found these characters annoying and boring.
Me too,I loved cedar cove,why was it cancelled?
Love Chesapeake Shores. So glad it has been renewed. I also loved Cedar Cove and was stunned when it was cancelled. Always wondered why, also. Going to Debbie Macomber’s event in Orlando on April 28, 2018. Went to the first event she had in Port Orchard, WA in 2009 and really enjoyed it. Such a gorgeous part of our country.
