What do you think? Do you watch Chesapeake Shores? Did you enjoy season two?
Hi, I have really enjoyed watching this show and was looking forward to Season 3 starting on 5 Aug. When will I be able to view it on the hmmoviesnow season 3? I thought it would be up and ready for streaming now. Thank for your help.
In season 2 the tenth birthday of only one of the twins was celebrated. Why? Both the postings for this show and the 2nd season DVD cover say the girls are twins. Like the show otherwise and looking forward to season 3.
Totally love Chesapeake Shores. Terrific cast and love all the dynamics of the family. Why would Hallmark even question a third season and beyond?? I wish you could gauge people who PVR the show and the ratings would be higher.
Can’t wait each and every week to watch Chesapeake Shores. The season is too short and I certainly hope there is a season 3. Bring back Chesapeake Shores for many more seasons!!!!
I look forward to Sunday evening so I can watch Chesapeake Shores and the ongoing saga of the O’Brien clan!! I only wish it was more than a 10 episode season. It’s refreshing to be able to watch a family-friendly show that is well written and especially well performed – all of the actors/actresses are amazing! Hoping for many more seasons!
Die-hard #Chessie here! I have every episode since the pilot recorded. Fantastic for a binge-watching relaxing day! I cry just watching a trailer. Love this show, excellent family friendly entertainment, hoping for many seasons to come ❤. I want to go to #ChesapeakeShores (bucket list), beautiful scenery, amazing actors!
Never heard of it. Don’t know why anyone watches that racist channel.
Love season two even more than the first season. It’s my mini vacation once a week, please continue to search three.
My favorite show! Please renew it for season 3!
Yes renew – it’s a great series! The content is wonderful, enjoyable and heartwarming. You don’t get better than this.
Please Bring back Season Three if Chesapeake Shores!! When and where can I watch season Two finale?
How about a Christmas special?! That would be amazing
Season three, please.
I want to see what happens with all of them!!!
I want Season three. It’s a family show and we all can sit down and enjoy it and not worry about any sex scenes in it or cursing in it.
