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?
Love it, please renew it. I enjoyed watching it.
I loved the first season of Chesapeake shores !!!! I do believe that there should be a second season and many more ! This will soon grab attention to others if it continues ! You have to have more seasons to a show if you want people to start getting interested, some people don’t start watching until the second season and have to go back to start over because they liked it so much !! A second season and many more to come will be the best decision made !!! Please continue this show !!!
Yes another seasom
I enjoyed the first season very much and love the family element of the story. Which allows for lovely storytelling. I decided to read the books that helped to develop the series. I hope Hallmark decides to continue with season 2.
It’s a nice wholesome show that has many different characters to keep it interesting. It’s nice to watch a series that isn’t reality tv. I love it, and look forward to Sunday nights. There may be issues with ratings because it is going up against NFL Football Season..
I really enjoy and look forward to watching Chesapeake Shores!!! Good story line and characters evolving. I sure hope this will be renewed!!
Absolutely love this show. Please give us more.
I love, love this show!!! Please let us see more!!
Please Renew Chesapeake Shores, it’s a nice family drama, people of all ages can watch together and relate to. It’s a great show just like When Calls the Heart and the Good Witch series before it. Please give us more of the O’Breins’
Loved Season 1. Definitely want more!
Please renew Chesapeake Shores, not only can people relate, it has such a variety of characters and stories that who wouldn’t want to keep watching to learn more about the hope and love that they share and the family ties that bind them all. Loved the ending of the season…a father who has learned how to express his love and appreciation for each of his children. Not sure what he said as credits rolled but the laughter by all was awesome and left me liking them even more.
Wonderful family show. We need more like this one. Hope is back for more seasons.
I hope there will be more seasons of this amazing series, a family favorite..very well written and the cast is phenomenal…pretty please!!!
Please have a 2nd season!
I really loved the show and couldn’t wait till the next episode was on each week. I hope it will be renewed for several seasons. We need more family friendly shows on the air like this one.
