Country music fans, this one’s for you! Nashville singer-songwriter Shayna Cook (Jessy Schram) teams up with popular songwriter Grady Parker (Niall Matter) to record a new hit song.

She most recently wrapped a guest spot on NBC’s Chicago Med, and is originally from Chicago. She’s also a singer-songwriter, which lends itself well to the role of Shayna.

Love in the Forecast – June 13 at 9/8 c
A little romance, and a little realism balance each other out perfectly in this film about meteorologist Leah Waddell (Cindy Busby), who decides to put dating on hold to focus on her career. That mission gets more difficult when a cute new guy named Mark (Christopher Russell) moves in next door. Can she keep her promise of singledom? Or will Mark’s charm be irresistible? You can check out some photos from the movie below:
Hallmark fans will recognize Cindy from Royal Hearts and Marrying Mr. Darcy; they will recognize Christopher from Love Unleashed and The Mistletoe Secret.
In addition to her Hallmark films, Cindy has had numerous guest spots on CW shows, including The Secret Circle, LA Complex, and Supernatural. She had a regular role on the popular series Heartland as well.
Christopher’s resumé showcases quite a few TV roles too, including iZombie, Star Trek: Discovery, and Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan. You may have also seen him in the indie film Gone Tomorrow, or the dance movie Center Stage: Turn It Up.
Love Under the Olive Tree – June 20 at 9/8 c

Their families don’t get along, as they’ve been at each other’s throats for years. Will Jake and Nicole be able to pull their families together before they’re pulled apart from each other? You can check out some photos from the movie below:
Hallmark movie watchers will know Tori from her role in Return to Christmas Creek, and Benjamin from A Godwink Christmas: Meant For Love.
