As a long-time Hallmark enthusiast and someone who’s been through more than a few cable channel evolutions, I must say, I’m both excited and apprehensive about the new drama series, “Ripple.” The concept sounds intriguing, especially when considering its potential connection with “The Way Home.” However, the fact that it will be exclusively available on Hallmark+ has left me a bit puzzled.
Over the last few years, Hallmark has ventured into more intricate television programming. Shows such as “Chesapeake Shores” and “Ride” were unfortunately taken off the air, but a fresh offering like “The Way Home” has been introduced. This show stands out for its unconventional approach on cable, and it seems another series is set to follow suit soon. Overall, it’s been an exciting period; however, there’s one minor problem.
According to recent news from the cable network, a forthcoming drama series titled “Ripple” is set to be accessible for viewers in the upcoming months. This new series explores the lives of several strangers whose paths cross and connect in unforeseen manners, despite not knowing each other personally. The show will delve into the ripple effect of these encounters, as suggested by a press release.
In many aspects, the plot of “Ripple” should align with the narrative of “The Way Home,” as the latter series incorporates time travel and explores the idea that while characters can’t alter history, their actions in the past essentially create new events or “making history.” I’m not accustomed to this type of philosophical storyline on Hallmark, but it seems to be effective for “The Way Home,” and I hope it will work similarly for “Ripple.” The story unfolds in the bustling cityscape of New York City.
The only thing is that Hallmark is pushing out Ripple on Hallmark+, where it will join the reality concept from Lacey Chabert, Celebrations, and other new series The Chicken Sisters. I’ve written in the past about how upcoming Hallmark movies of the Christmas variety will remain on the cabler while a lot of the other new fare is heading to the app, and it’s creating a future where fans will likely need to subscribe to both in order to watch content that used to be readily available on the main network. I am not a fan of this Hallmark+ rollout for those reasons.
According to official confirmation from the network, it has been decided that the show will exclusively stream online. In a statement made public through Deadline, Lisa Hamilton Daly, the main executive, mentioned this decision.
This series skillfully combines scenes of sorrow, happiness, and everything in between, mirroring our aims for Hallmark+ productions: to offer a rich, immersive experience that captivates our audience from one episode to the next.
It appears the plan is to release new episodes of this one-hour drama series on a weekly basis. However, the entire streaming service launches on Tuesday, September 1, with Ripple not entering production until next month and expected to become available on Hallmark+ at a later time.
It appears that traditional cable channels are facing difficulties, prompting them to explore innovative methods to attract viewers towards their content. FX has now partnered with Hulu so that its shows can be viewed with a subscription. AMC has also started releasing a lot of its content on Netflix. The encouraging aspect is Hallmark+ entering the streaming market, as it seems like they are actively creating fresh and engaging content for fans to enjoy. However, I’m not sure if the audience will follow suit.
