00:00You ever hear something and instantly feel your heart skip a beat?
00:03Like, you're sitting there, minding your business, and then boom it hits you.
00:07That's what happened to me when I saw the headline,
00:10The Chicken Sisters Season 2 has a release date.
00:12And not just a maybe, not a rumor a real, honest to goodness,
00:16circle it on your calendar kind of date.
00:18August 10th. 8pm ET.
00:21It's real, it's happening, and if you're anything like me,
00:24your soul just did a happy dance you didn't even know it had in it.
00:27I mean, let's be real for a second the Chicken Sisters wasn't supposed to be this big.
00:32It's a hallmark show about two families running rival fried chicken restaurants.
00:36Sounds simple, right?
00:38Maybe even a little too small town, too soft, too Sunday afternoon.
00:43But then you start watching it, and suddenly, you're not just watching a show.
00:47You're in it.
00:48You're part of the family feud.
00:50You feel the heat in the kitchen, the sting of the words they don't say,
00:53the weight of years of heartbreak, regret, and love that never got a proper goodbye.
00:58And now, it's back.
01:00But it's not just coming back, it's coming back with something to prove.
01:03Season 2 isn't just a continuation.
01:05It's a full-blown reckoning.
01:07And honestly, I think we all need that right now.
01:10We need stories that let us believe healing is possible, even when everything feels broken.
01:15If you've been riding with Amanda in May since Season 1, you know what I'm talking about.
01:20That finale?
01:21Phew.
01:22Amanda walking away from Frank Jr. after everything they'd built.
01:26The look in May's eyes when she finally let herself feel something real again.
01:30The way secrets unraveled like an old sweater you didn't realize was holding your whole closet together.
01:35It wasn't just drama.
01:36It was life.
01:38Messy.
01:39Loud.
01:39And sometimes, so quiet it hurt.
01:42And now, we've got a date.
01:44August 10th.
01:45Hallmark's going all in.
01:47They're not burying it on streaming this time they're bringing it to their main channel.
01:51Prime time.
01:52That's a big deal.
01:53That means they believe in this show.
01:55That they saw what we saw.
01:56A story worth telling.
01:58A story that hits home for a lot more people than they ever expected.
02:01But let's break it down.
02:03Because if you're new to the Chicken Sisters, you might be thinking,
02:06Okay, it's just another family drama.
02:09But no.
02:10No, this show hits different.
02:12Let me explain.
02:13So you've got Amanda and Mae sisters with a shared past and very different presents.
02:18Amanda's always been the safe one.
02:20The one who stayed, who did the expected thing, married the hometown guy, kept the family legacy going.
02:26Mae?
02:27She bolted.
02:28Left everything behind to chase something else, something bigger, something less tied to small town expectations.
02:34And then fate, or maybe karma, dragged her back.
02:38They're not just sisters they're competitors.
02:40Their families run rival fried chicken joints.
02:43And not just any restaurants these places are legendary in their town.
02:47Think family tradition meets deep fried war zone.
02:50And then a reality show shows up and says,
02:52Let's put a camera on this chaos and see who really runs the roost.
02:56That's season 1 in a nutshell.
02:58But what started out fun playful, even turned real fast.
03:01Because you can't put a spotlight on years of resentment and think no shadows will show up.
03:06And that's what made season 1 so unforgettable.
03:08It wasn't about who made the best chicken.
03:11It was about who got burned along the way.
03:13Who got left behind.
03:15Who still had scars they never showed anyone not even themselves.
03:18And then, the secrets started spilling.
03:21Big ones.
03:22The kind that change everything.
03:24The kind that don't just rewrite your past they punch holes in the walls you built to survive it.
03:28There was betrayal.
03:30There was heartbreak.
03:31But there was also this quiet, stubborn kind of love underneath it all.
03:35The kind of love that says, I'm mad at you.
03:38I might never forgive you.
03:39But I still love you.
03:41That's why this season 2 announcement isn't just news.
03:44It's personal.
03:45It's like a second chance.
03:47A do-over.
03:48For Amanda.
03:49For May.
03:50And maybe, if we're being honest, for all of us watching.
03:54And get this David James Elliott is joining the cast.
03:57Yeah, the Jag guy.
03:58He's stepping in as a recurring character.
04:00And the fact that Hallmark brought in someone with his kind of TV legacy tells me they're building something bigger
04:05this time.
04:06This isn't just a family feud anymore.
04:08It's evolution.
04:10It's redemption.
04:11It's expansion.
04:12We're not just going back to the chicken shack we're digging deeper.
04:16I don't know about you, but I've been in those kinds of family fights.
04:19The ones that start over something dumb like who gets the last biscuit but somehow end with someone bringing up
04:24that thing that happened 10 years ago that no one ever got over.
04:27It's funny until it's not.
04:29And the Chicken Sisters captures that so well.
04:32It's not exaggerated.
04:33It's not polished.
04:35It's raw.
04:36It's real.
04:37It's what so many of us grew up in love and loyalty mixed with tension so thick you could fry
04:41it.
04:42So when Amanda walked away from her marriage at the end of season 1, it wasn't just a plot twist.
04:47It was a moment.
04:48A woman saying, I choose myself.
04:51And how many of us have needed to say that?
04:53How many of us have stayed too long, held on too tight, because we thought that was love?
04:58This new season is about that aftermath.
05:01It's about what happens after the storm.
05:03When the dust settles and you're standing in the rubble, trying to figure out who you are without all the
05:07roles you used to play.
05:09Amanda the wife.
05:10May the runaway.
05:11The Chicken Sisters.
05:13And the fact that Hallmark moved the show from streaming to prime time?
05:16That's huge.
05:17That's confidence.
05:19That's them saying, this isn't just a feel-good background show.
05:22This is something we're proud of.
05:24It's a smart move too because August is when network TV starts ramping back up.
05:29And if Hallmark can grab even a slice of that audience?
05:32Boom.
05:32This show goes next level.
05:34Let me tell you why this matters.
05:36Because Hallmark has a reputation, right?
05:39Comfort shows.
05:40Happy endings.
05:42Predictable plots.
05:43But the Chicken Sisters broke that mold.
05:46It said, hey, we can be warm and cozy, but we can also get real.
05:50We can dig into generational trauma.
05:52We can talk about women choosing themselves.
05:55About the pain of staying quiet.
05:57About what it really means to forgive someone who never said sorry.
06:00That's why people showed up.
06:02That's why the audience didn't just watch they connected.
06:05They saw themselves in May's fear.
06:07In Amanda's silence.
06:09In Gus's quiet loyalty.
06:10And now we get to see what happens next.
06:13Maybe May opens up her heart for real this time.
06:16Maybe Amanda builds something new something that's hers alone.
06:19Maybe the families stop trying to win and start trying to heal.
06:22And maybe just maybe we'll find a piece of ourselves in their journey.
06:26I don't care if you've never watched Hallmark before.
06:28If you love character-driven stories that make you feel something,
06:32the Chicken Sisters is worth it.
06:34It's not about the chicken.
06:35It's about the people behind it.
06:37The ones who cook with anger, serve with regret,
06:40and love with their whole hearts even when they don't know how to say it.
06:43So what do we do now?
06:45Simple.
06:45Mark your calendars August 10th, 8pm ET.
06:49That's a Saturday.
06:50That's your night.
06:52Hallmark Channel.
06:53Season 2 Premiere.
06:54And if you've got Hallmark+,
06:55you can catch the episode the next day.
06:58But trust me,
06:59watching it live?
07:00That's the way.
07:01That's the vibe.
07:03That's how we show up for stories that show up for us.
07:06And I'm asking you,
07:07not as a content creator,
07:09not as someone who loves TV
07:10but as a human being who believes in stories that he'll be there.

07:20Let's make it a community.
07:21Because the Chicken Sisters isn't just about fried food and family feuds.
07:26It's about choosing love over ego.
07:28Healing over hiding.

08:01we notice.
08:02We show up.
08:03We care.
