A Three Wise Men and a Baby sequel is coming to Hallmark Channel. Paul Campbell and Tyler Hynes shared the news on Instagram, telling fans they could expect the new movie during Hallmark Channel’s 2024 Countdown to Christmas lineup.
“You asked…so we’re back. Welcome home,” Hynes wrote in a post. “3 Wiser Men And A Boy. Coming this holiday season.”
Three Wise Men and a Baby sequel
Fans have been clamoring for a Three Wise Men and a Baby sequel since the original movie aired during Hallmark Channel’s 2022 Countdown to Christmas lineup.
In the movie, Campbell, Hynes, and Walker play three brothers who are so busy arguing with each other that they can’t even give their mother (played by Margaret Colin) the peaceful family Christmas she longs for. When Walker’s character finds an abandoned baby named Thomas at the fire station where he works, he brings the child home to his mother. While they try to track down the baby’s parents, the brothers are forced to work together and even end up participating in some Christmas traditions they avoided in the past. (Cue the hilarious scenes where the three guys dress up as elves.)
The movie, which was co-written by Paul Campbell and Hallmark star Kimberley Sustad, became an instant hit. It was the most-watched cable movie of 2022 and fans started asking right away if they would get a sequel.
“The chances are zero”
In a 2023 interview with TV Insider, Paul Campbell told fans that there wouldn’t be a Three Wise Men and a Baby sequel.
Campbell said he asked network executives about doing another movie with the same characters.
He was told that Hallmark doesn’t do sequels.
“Hallmark has said many, many times over the years, they don’t do sequels,” Campbell said. “The problem is it’s really hard to tell a love story twice. And that movie is still a love story. It’s a story about brothers rediscovering their love for each other. We talked with the network early on about a potential sequel and they just said, ‘We love the movie. We’d love to sort of work with you guys again in another capacity, but it’s just not going to be in powers on this one.’ So, unfortunately, unless we get a miracle, I would say the chances are zero.”
Fans quickly pointed out that there had been several Hallmark Christmas movie sequels, including The Christmas House 2: Deck Those Halls. The film, which starred Treat Williams, Robert Buckley, and Jonathan Bennett, was a sequel to the original Countdown to Christmas movie. In 2023, Lacey Chabert and Wes Brown starred in Haul Out the Holly: Lit Up, a sequel to 2022’s Haul Out the Holly.

In the Instagram post announcing the sequel, Tyler Hynes mentioned that fans were always asking if they would ever see a follow-up to Three Wise Men and a Baby.
“You would ask…and we would just smile 🙂 happy we’re here now Christmas came early,” he wrote.
In a short video, Paul Campbell, Andrew Walker, and Tyler Hynes are seen knocking on the door of a trailer. The door opens and the boy playing Thomas opens the door.
Hallmark Channel has not yet announced a premiere date for Three Wiser Men and a Boy. We will update this story as soon as one becomes available.
