"#HallmarkPlus is an all new streaming service & membership program coming this September with the best of @hallmark all in one place including new exclusive movies & series, special offers, benefits and surprises!

Absolutely love that there will be a variety of different creative content available to watch!!!" a different follower added.
Is Hallmark+ replacing Hallmark Movies Now?

According to People, the network's all-new streaming site will also feature a number of new projects that will be exclusively available on Hallmark+.
On the day of Hallmark+'s launch, viewers can dive into new shows with the upcoming drama The Chicken Sisters and the reality series Celebrations With Lacey Chabert. Both series will debut that day, and then new episodes will air every Thursday starting September 12.
As for other projects in the works, the Love on the Danube movie trilogy will air three new films over the course of three weeks, starting September 10. Two movie mysteries from Jodie Sweetin's The Jane Mysteries will also air new installments, with the first (titled The Jane Mysteries: A Deadly Prescription) premiering on September 10.
Additionally, Hallmark is expanding into the world of competition shows with Finding Mr. Christmas, hosted by Jonathan Bennett. Additionally, Jonathan will star in a new movie trilogy called The Groomsmen, alongside Tyler Hynes and B.J. Britt.
How much will Hallmark+ cost?
Hallmark is already detailing how much it will cost viewers to tap into the streaming site. Folks can subscribe to Hallmark+'s plans that start at $7.99 per month or $79.99 per year. The membership will also include benefits and rewards for the entire brand, like a $5 coupon for Hallmark's Gold Crown Store every month, an unlimited amount of eCards, shopping rewards and exclusive gifts.
