Summer is almost here, and you know what that means — it's time to get outside, throw barbecues with loved ones and enjoy all of what the season has to offer! While we all embrace the heat and the longer hours to spend with friends and family, Hallmark is joining us in celebrating everything we love about the season ... like epic summer romances.
Enter Hallmark's "Countdown to Summer" movie event, where viewers can catch four brand-new movies airing every Saturday night in May. Each movie tells a different tale about love, and each selection will make you fall for romance all over again. When Calls the Heart fans will particularly want to pay attention, because Andrea Brooks (who plays Dr. Faith Carter) and Kavan Smith (who plays Lee Coulter) each make an appearance with A Lifelong Love (debuting on May 4) and Big Sky River: The Bridal Path (airing on May 25).
