‘The Chicken Sisters’ debuts on the Hallmark Channel, here’s how to watch and where to stream free
Season one of the hit dramedy series The Chicken Sisters premieres on the Hallmark Channel Sunday, March 30 at 9/8c.
Six months after the debut of The Chicken Sisters exclusively aired on Hallmark+ (Hallmark’s streaming platform), the growing popularity of the hit series has pushed the network to include the show in the lineup on the Hallmark Channel, too.
With the season finale of When Calls The Heart happening last week, The Chicken Sisters will take over its time slot with new episodes premiering weekly on Sundays.
What is The Chicken Sisters about?
For those unfamiliar with the show, The Chicken Sisters follows feuds between families over generational conflict between rival fried chicken restaurants, Mimi’s and Frannie’s, dividing the town as loyalties are tested. The objective is to resolve the longstanding rift and unite the community through a shared love of fried chicken.
This week’s episode titled “Welcome to Merinac, Ya’ll!” follows sisters Amanda and Mae as they are reunited when the reality show Kitchen Clash comes to their town, and the competition between their two feuding restaurants heats up.
Lea Thompson, Schuyler Fisk, Wendie Malick and Genevieve Angelson star.
