New Movies Coming to Hallmark Channel For Loveuary. Hallmark Channel always excels at love movies. February is made for Hallmark. Hallmark is made for February. Every February they come out with movies that celebrate Loveuary.
This year, Hallmark’s Loveuary is going heavy on the theme of Jane Austen. There will be three new movies that are a nod and tribute to the very romantic Jane Austen. This isn’t the first time Hallmark has turned to the romantic themes of Jane Austen. We’ve seen a few Christmas movies pay homage to her works.

First up on February 3rd at 8/7c, we get Paging Mr. Darcy starring Will Kemp and Mallory Jensen. This movie is about Professor Eloise Cavendish (Jansen) who is asked to give the keynote speech at a Jane Austen conference – an annual event that combines scholarship and fandom – she’s dubious. After all, she’s writing about how money— not love— is the most important thing in Austen’s work.
Will a bunch of people who like dressing up in empire-waist gowns and pretending to go to balls really want to hear what she has to say? When she meets Sam (Kemp), who puts on the breeches and frock coat of the event’s official Mr. Darcy every year, she’s disgusted, immediately judging him as a cad who uses the event to meet women. Sam and Eloise must get past their prejudices, overcome their pride, and admit they’re both drawn to Austen’s work for the same reason: an absolute belief in love.
Next up on February 10th at 8/7c, is Love & Jane. This movie stars Allison Sweeney and Benjamin Ayers. Lilly (Sweeney) is an ad agency account executive whose true passion lies within the pages of any Jane Austen novel. A true “Janeite,” she spends her spare time running a local book club devoted to the beloved writer’s works. Lilly longs for the simpler, more civilized life depicted in her favorite novels when TikTok was just the sound a clock makes. Little does she know that her life is about to become a bit less ordinary when Jane Austen herself appears in her living room out of nowhere.
On February 17th, at 8/7c, we have An American In Austen, starring Eliza Bennett and Nicholas Bishop. This movie is about Harriet, who thinks that no real man compares to Mr. Darcy, is transported into Pride & Prejudice and gets an unexpected chance to find out. More details to come in February.
Next on February 19th at 8/7c, we have A Taste Of Love, starring Erin Cahill and Jesse Kove. This is our only non-Jane Austen new movie to debut during Loveuary. A pigeonholed chef determined to make her name as a respected culinary chef returns to her hometown. While reconnecting with her childhood sweetheart, she receives an offer she can’t refuse. More details to follow.
Lastly, we have Sense and Sensibility premiering on February 24th at 8/7c, brought to you by the Mahogany Collection. A period adaptation of Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility. After a change in circumstances, Marianne is torn between two men, while Elinor longs for a man beyond reach. Stars Deborah Ayorinde, Bethany Antonia, and Dan Jeannotte.
We look forward to celebrating all things Love and Jane Austen this February. Furthermore, we will follow up with Hallmark for more details as they become available. Stay tuned to the FUNatics Blog for the details.
