Jennifer Donovan here to tell you about a new series that begins on the Hallmark channel this Saturday, July 20. I was sent an advanced screener, and we were compensated for this campaign.
Meet Olivia (Andie McDowell). She lives in a small town in the Pacific Northwest, where she wears many hats: judge, mother to an adult daughter, ex-wife, daughter to a busy-body, and who knows what she’ll be to Jack (Dylan Neal), the new guy in town.
I previewed the two-hour premiere, which can be seen this Saturday July 20 at 8p/7c on the Hallmark Channel. I liked it enough that I’m planning to tune in to future episodes. I know that I can usually count on the programming on the Hallmark Channel to be family-friendly viewing, and this was. I didn’t watch it with my teen daughter, but we are always looking for shows to watch together, so she might join me this Saturday.
It seems like the kind of show that will both follow the characters as we get to know them better each week, as well as some sort of episodic drama. In this two-hour premiere, Olivia was presiding over a divorce case, and instead of granting the simple legal act, she held it over in a continuance. You’ll have to watch to see what happens.
Watch CEDAR COVE Saturday nights at 8p/7c beginning July 20 only on Hallmark Channel!
CEDAR COVE is a new primetime series based on the bestselling books by Debbie Macomber starring Andie MacDowell & Dylan Neal.
