Will there be a second season of Chesapeake Shores? Recently, showrunner John Tinker spoke with My Devotional Thoughts about the future of the Hallmark series.
Based on the novels by Sherryl Woods, the drama “follows Abby O’Brien (Meghan Ory), a high-powered career woman, divorcee and mother to twin daughters, who makes a trip from New York City to her hometown of Chesapeake Shores.” The cast also includes Jesse Metcalfe, Treat Williams, and Diane Ladd. Season one just premiered on August 14th.
In the interview, Tinker said he hopes the show resonates with families:
To begin, we were/are (at least at one time or another) sons/daughters/sisters/brothers/mothers/fathers/grandmothers/grandfathers… and so on. These are the greatest touch points for viewers. In addition, as we just spoke of, this show will trade in basic human emotion. And without getting too lofty, isn’t it Tolstoy who said, “All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way”? It seems there is plenty of fodder when it comes to resonating with viewers. What’s more, if we strive to make this show one thing over all, it will be hopeful. Confident. Optimistic. And encouraging. To quote Psalms, “…weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.”
And when asked about the future of the show, he said he’s devoted to more seasons:
There are a few things, yes, but if this show goes a second… third… fourth season… my heart would be in Chesapeake Shores.”
Hallmark has not yet renewed Chesapeake Shores for a second season.
What do you think? Did you watch the premiere of Chesapeake Shores? Do you want a second season?
I think the show is FANTASTIC!!! Yes renew it!
I love chesapeake shores show a lot. My red nick husband just got finished watching the last four episodes tonight with me. Please keep it on air. I’m believing that it will come back on again, so when does the next season start?
Loved the show. Great cast! The storyline flows smoothly. Looking forward to more episodes….this is a winner for sure!

LOVED LOVED IT!!! CAN’T WAIT FOR NEXT EPISODE
Season 1 was all right but they didn’t follow the book accurately. It was Caleb Green who was the musicians.
Just watched the premier last night…Loved it. Hopeful for many seasons…
Yes, I would love to have Season 2. I love the cast and want to see more.
I have watched the premiere 3 times already can not wait to watch the second show. If it keeps up as good as it is please give it a chance for a second season. I watch a lot of Hallmark movies and I really love this show.
Ha – watched it twice! Would love to see a second season.
I found the show delightful and waiting to see it unfold. Give it a chance.
LOVE!! Love!! Love!! This show is AWESOME!!!!please bring it back for another season!!!!!!
I don’t think Chesapeake Shores has the magic and chemistry of the three other Hallmark Series. I watched the first episode and got bored. I think Hallmark lost their magic formula for series.
Yes, PLEASE bring back more Chesapeake Shores! In this day of “reality” TV, this show brings us back to the REAL reality. Through true to life situations, it reminds us that there are still good people with good hearts out there, who aren’t concerned with self-promotion. Instead, they are muddling through life trying their best to do the right thing and be decent people – just like the rest of us. This show leaves me feeling warm and happy. PLEASE keep giving us the gift of this show.
This show was terrific! Loved the chemistry. Show needs to continue. Can’t wait to see future episodes!
I loved this quality show. This is my favorite show along with This Is Us. It is first rate. Please have a Season 2.
Good family show. Love it. Please have second season!
