Three of Hollywood’s most popular leading men will headline a trilogy of new Hallmark romance movies. Tyler Hynes, Jonathan Bennett, and BJ Britt will star in The Groomsmen, which will be released on Hallmark’s streaming platform later this year.
The movies will tell the love story from a man’s point of view, according to Hallmark Media.
“We can’t wait for viewers to come along on these romantic journeys in new and fresh ways as we tell this story from the groom’s side for the first time ever,” says Philicia Kennedy-Flamer, manager of programming at Hallmark Media. “Jonathan, Tyler and B.J. are a dream team. Their performances are infused with a humor and warmth that brings these stories to life beyond our expectations and created something truly special.”

In the movies, titled First Look, Second Chances, and Last Dance, three best friends help each other find true love and then prepare for their weddings.
The trilogy is similar in scope to Hallmark’s Wedding Veil series, which premiered in 2022. In those films, Lacey Chabert, Autumn Reeser, and Alison Sweeney play friends who discover an antique wedding veil that is rumored to bring true love to its owner. As each woman finds the man of her dreams, she passes it along to one of her friends, so that by the end of the third movie, all three women are happily married.
The films proved so popular that Hallmark released three more in 2023: The Wedding Veil Expectations, The Wedding Veil Inspiration, and The Wedding Veil Journey.
The Groomsmen
In the new series, Tyler Hynes stars as a social media agent, BJ Britt plays a pediatrician, and Jonathan Bennett is a baseball coach. The movies follow the three men on a trip through Greece, Italy, and Bulgaria, as each friend finds the partner of his dreams.
Where to watch
Hallmark has said the movies will be released on its new streaming platform, Hallmark+ in the fall. The company has not yet said when the films will appear on television.
Some fans called out the media company for releasing the movies on its paid platform before making it available to those with cable subscriptions.
“Sad that this will only be shown on yet another money-making platform,” wrote one fan on Facebook.
