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 the show! Please keep it going. I too look forward to seeing it every week.
Love this show! Please keep it going for many seasons! I can’t wait for it to come on each week! Love it!
I’m 74. My granddaughter is 12. We both loved the pilot show. We will be devoted watchers and hope for several seasons to come
Loved the show!! I would be very disappointed if the show didn’t get a chance with a second season! Can’t wait to watch more Chesapeake Shores!
Loved the pilot. Then next episode started and Jase’s dog is different. Suddenly he owns a German Shephard. How did this happen?
I also wanted to know why there were different dogs
The location for the b&b is different too
The main house to!
There are VERY very few shows that allow families to watch together. This is an amazing story and show. Thank you Hallmark for bringing this us. And being a New Englander I Love that it’s based in MD. Many memories and joy. Thanks again.
The show moved a little slow, both the pilot and episode one. But if you begin to speed up the writing just a little I will be invested. Right now, I am on the fence!
Love the show…but very disappointed that it was not filmed on or near the Chesapeake bay! As a Marylander, I was hoping to see familiar scenes. Md. Blue crabs, etc. No mountains near the Chesapeake Bay!
I love this show!! Next Sunday can’t come fast enough, I love the cast and the storyline. I want to see season 2 and 3 etc. I have been disappointed in the past with hallmarks series ending with a first season that I almost didn’t start a new series, but with Chesapeake Shores I am so happy I did. Now I just hope I will see more seasons of When Calls the Heart.
We love it! Keep it coming!
Yes, please, a second season!
What happened to tonight’s show. Only 1hour. just love it and wanted more
Love it!!!
Yes I do. I love this show!
Terrific cast! Really enjoyed. Hope it’s renewed.
