Hallmark Orders Drama 'Ripple' Created by Michele Giannusa

Hallmark has today given a series order to the original drama series Ripple created by Michele Giannusa. The drama is expected to air exclusively on the network's new streaming platform, Hallmark+.






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, the audience will witness the ripple effect of how these strangers, all dealing with life's challenges in their own way, are led to one another.

Giannusa will executive produce with showrunner Joni Lefkowitz, Jocelyn Hamilton and director Amanda Tapping. Lionsgate Television will produce. Production will begin in September in Toronto.

"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," said Lisa Hamilton Daly, Executive Vice President of Programming, Hallmark Media. "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."
