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?
Can’t believe there’s only one more episode. Love this show and would be heartbroken if it’s not renewed!
I love good clean shows like this. PLEASE bring back for more seasons. Leanna
Love this show, please bring it back for season 2 , 3 and 4 ,I actually can’t wait for Sunday nights,
I really like this series! Please absolutely bring it back for seasons 2, 3. 4, etc !!
Please bring C Shores back for a 2nd season as soon as possible. It’s so good
This is a great wholesome show on Sunday nights. Many of the tv series are packed with violence. I look forward to this show each week and have gotten others to watch it.
LOVE this show. Binge watched the entire season (seven episodes) this weekend. So, so good! Gotta renew it! Such rich characters (except for Conner – a little too annoying for me). Otherwise; love it!
Please have a second season. I live this show.
This is a great series I run home to watch it each Sun
Great Series Run home every Sun to see it….Hope there is another season
a really good show for everyone to see…..
Chesapeake Shores definitely needs a Season 2 plus….this is such a vibrant show that reminds us what family n friends r all about. It also shows us that families are not perfect n it’s OK.

CHESAPEAKE SHORES DESERVES A 2ND 3RD N 4TH SEASON. THANK U FOR LISTENING… Read more »
This show should be renewed, I loved it from the Premier and could not wait for the second episode. I have enjoyed the last 2 series you started and then cancelled if this 1 gets cancelled too I am going to give up on Hallmark.
The show is too paint by numbers without any originality. It is your classic, dysfunctional family drama, all the trappings are there, all the scenes look right, but the dialogue never quite gives you anything. Connor O’Brien is just a rough character sketch.
I love the show, but I liked the golden retriever. Why the change to the german shepherd? Did you not think viewers would notice?
Would love to see a second season!
