Here’s something for Hallmark fans to cluck about: the channel has set the return date for The Chicken Sisters.
The series about a restaurant rivalry is set to return at 8 p.m. ET Aug. 10 to the channel. It will stream the next day on Hallmark+. The adaptation of KJ Dell’Antonia’s novel of the same name stars Schuyler Fisk (Amanda), Genevieve Angelson (Mae), Lea Thompson (Nancy) and Wendie Malick (Gus). The tome was a selection in Reese Witherspoon’s book club.
Production on the second season began in April in Vancouver. David James Elliott (JAG) has joined the series in a recurring role. He plays someone who shows up to town from Gus’ past.
For Season 2, Erin Gibson (Throwing Shade) was upped from the writers room to take over as showrunner and EP.
The second season follows the women as they use their Chicken Sisters restaurants to put a generations-long feud to rest. Says Hallmark Media’s Samantha DiPippo, “The episodes are funny, warm and full of heart. Our talented cast brilliantly brings the story to life and we can’t wait to welcome fans back to the colorful town of Merinac.”
The Chicken Sisters is from Fox Entertainment Studios in association with Lighthouse Pictures and Busy B Entertainment. Executive producers are Erin Gibson, Bradley Gardner, Jameson Parker, Gemma Martini, Larry Grimaldi, Ani Kevork, Hannah Pillemer and Fernando Szew.
