After three years, Hallmark and Peacock are bringing their partnership to a close – and that’s not good news for fans who stream Hallmark content there. Now, there’s only one place to watch them. When we talk about binging shows like The Way Home and When Calls the Heart , there are usually multiple ways to catch up with months of content.
Missed this week’s new Hallmark movie ? You’ve got options at your disposal. From May 1, however, that’s no longer the case. TV Line confirmed plans for Hallmark’s back catalog of content to be leaving Peacock for good, ending its “successful partnership” that began back in 2022.
No official statement has been made from neither Hallmark nor Peacock at this point. For Peacock subscribers who love their Hallmark, it’s crushing news, and there’s only one way to get back the movies and shows you won’t want to miss. Hallmark movies and shows are now exclusive to the platform As you might have guessed, the answer is going straight to the source.
If you’re not already watching premieres on The Hallmark Channel, the company’s content is now only available to stream on its own app, Hallmark+. We know what you’re thinking: another subscription plan? In this economy? But there is a pretty effective way to try before you buy. You can choose to try a trial directly, or through a third-party streaming service like Amazon Prime Video and Fubo TV.
Unlike with Peacock, you’re essentially getting access to Hallmark+ itself through whichever one you pick. Related Hallmark could axe When Calls the Heart and there’s a surprising reason Each free trial lasts for seven days, with Philo then $28 per month after. FuboTV is $24.
99 for the first month, then $32 per month thereafter. Of course, fans aren’t just getting Hallmark content for the price – each platform has access to around 200 channels. If you want to cancel after your free trial, going directly to Hallmark would be the most cost-effective option.
Plans start from $7.99 per month, with Hallmark+ having access to the channel’s entire back catalog, including hits like Royalish and the Hearts Around the Table series. Where this differs slightly is for fans outside the US.
The monthly price is about the same (it’s £4.99 for UK viewers), but the access differs. As is true for many streaming services, not all the same titles are available in different regions.
So far, it seems that the bulk of Hallmark’s content 1 is US-only. That’s when a VPN comes in handy. Once you have one, just change your location to the US, sign up for the Hallmark streamer, and start watching.
The Way Home fans have one obvious reason to sign up Remember how there was a big to-do when Season 3 first started airing because its weekly premiere on The Hallmark Channel was being axed? While original plans of making The Way Home Season 3 exclusive to streaming were nixed, it could be the change we see for Season 4. Cast your mind back. On December 29, 2024, it was announced Hallmark would be streaming The Way Home Season 3 exclusively on its new streaming service.
This means unlike When Calls the Heart Season 12 , The Way Home would be going directly to the app. However, due to “overwhelming demand,” Hallmark changed its plans a day later on December 30, reverting back to each episode premiering on the Hallmark Channel. It’s been that way ever since, with episodes appearing on Hallmark+ 24 hours later.
Obviously Season 4 has now been confirmed. But what if it was to revert to their original plan? The binge-worthy TV show has always been considered a ‘risk’ for the channel, deviating from its original format to introduce more complicated concepts and adult content. Clearly, there’s now not much of a home for it on the Hallmark Channel itself.
It remains to be seen if The Way Home will become exclusive to Hallmark+ without its Hallmark Channel premieres, but it might be worth subscribing just in case. For more Hallmark, catch up with the latest news on The Way Home Season 4 and When Calls the Heart Season 13 , alongside the best Hallmark TV shows of all time..
