RIPPLE New Hallmark+ Drama Series Greenlit

Hallmark continues to build up their content offering with the announcement of Ripple a new drama series for Hallmark+.

Ripple explores how unexpectedly connected we are as human beings. Set in New York City, Nate, Kris, Walter and Aria have crossed paths hundreds of times, yet they’ve never met. Because of the seemingly minuscule decisions these core four make in the pilot, we’ll witness the ripple effect of how these strangers, all dealing with life’s challenges in their own way, are led to one another. 

Hallmark+ has this to say about their acquisition which comes from Lionsgate TV:

“the message of this show is: just wait for the rainbow. Some of the best things in life can’t happen without the storm. Ripple amplifies a message of hope and reassurance that no matter what challenges come your way, we are never alone.”

New York, Toronto Style

Production begins next month in Toronto, with casting still to be announced. Amanda Tapping (Stargate SG-1) will direct the first two episodes of the series, Joni Lefkowitz will serve as the project’s showrunner. Michele Giannusa, Joni Lefkowitz, Jocelyn Hamilton and Amanda Tapping will executive produce Ripple. Michele Giannusa created the show.

Extraordinary Things Can Blossom From Ordinary Moments

Lisa Hamilton Daly, Executive Vice President, Programming, Hallmark Media had this to say:

“Michele and Joni have crafted a beautiful story that celebrates how interconnected we all are and reminds us that the most extraordinary things can blossom from ordinary moments and hardships. The way this show weaves moments of sadness, joy, and everything in between is a journey that’s synonymous with our goals for Hallmark+ content – to bring a deep, enriching viewing journey that keeps our viewers invested episode to episode,”
