A Spooky Season Surprise: My All-Time Favorite Hallmark Movie Gets a Sequel

Exciting Fall Events for Hallmark Fans

As we move into the fall season, there’s a lot more to look forward to on the Hallmark network than many might expect. Lacey Chabert recently shared some exciting news about upcoming events that are sure to delight fans as we approach the spooky season. Among these announcements is a sequel to a Hallmark movie that has already captured the hearts of many viewers.

Lacey Chabert took to her Instagram to announce the arrival of her new Hallmark movie, Haul Out The Halloween. This title promises to be a fun and festive addition to the fall schedule. Given the humor, the cast, and the general trajectory of the first two movies in the series, it’s clear that this installment will be a hit. Chabert’s excitement about the project is evident, and fans are already buzzing with anticipation.

In addition to the new movie, the Groomsmen trilogy is set to make its way to the Hallmark network months after its exclusive premiere on Hallmark+. While some viewers may not be fans of the exclusive streaming strategy, it’s reassuring to know that the content will eventually be available on the network. This means that even those who prefer traditional TV can still enjoy the latest episodes of the trilogy.

Why the Haul Franchise Deserves a Halloween-Themed Movie

The Haul franchise has quickly become a fan favorite, and the third movie, Haul Out The Halloween, is expected to be just as entertaining as its predecessors. Lacey Chabert, who is also an executive producer of the movies, has been instrumental in bringing this series to life. Her collaboration with other network favorites, such as Wes Brown, has created a unique and engaging storyline that continues to captivate audiences.

Three years ago, Chabert and Brown introduced Haul Out The Holly, a delightful holiday comedy that follows two people at odds over HOA decorating. The story centers around Emily, who ends up housesitting for her parents during the holidays and discovers the HOA’s over-the-top Christmas decorations. The film was a refreshing take on the typical Hallmark plot, offering straight comedy rather than the usual romantic tropes. It also featured a charming storyline that resonated with viewers.

The success of Haul Out The Holly led to a sequel, Haul Out The Holly: Lit Up!, which was also well-received. While it didn’t quite reach the same level of popularity as the first film, it still provided a fun and engaging experience for fans. Now, with Haul Out The Halloween, the series is taking a spooky turn, promising a fresh and exciting direction.

A Special Collaboration

To add to the excitement, Chabert has enlisted the help of her friend and former Disney child star, Kimberly J. Brown. Fans of the Halloweentown franchise will recognize Brown for her role in the popular DCOM movies. She has a strong connection to Halloween, and her involvement in Haul Out The Halloween is a welcome addition to the cast.

Brown will also be joined by her Halloweentown co-star and real-life husband, Daniel Kountz. Their appearance in the film marks a reunion of sorts, adding a special touch to the movie. This collaboration highlights the growing influence of Disney stars in the Hallmark universe, and it's an exciting development for fans of both franchises.

The Groomsmen Trilogy Makes Its Way to Hallmark

For fans of the Groomsmen trilogy, there’s more good news. The first film, The Groomsman First Look, will air on September 6th. The second and third movies will follow on September 13th and September 20th, respectively, as part of the network’s “Fall in Love” promo. These six new movies are set to kick off the fall season with a lineup that promises to be both entertaining and heartwarming.

As more details about the upcoming schedule are released, fans can look forward to a variety of new stories and familiar faces. Whether you're a fan of the Haul series or the Groomsmen trilogy, there’s something for everyone this fall. Stay tuned for more updates and continue to follow Hallmark for all the latest news.
