Danica McKellar, Jill Wagner, and Trevor Donovan are among the celebrities set to launch new shows on Great American Community, a new app from Great American Media.
“We are thrilled to be launching Great American Community with fifteen new, always-on series that are topical, relatable, and hosted by our growing family of recognizable talent,” said Bill Abbott, President and CEO of Great American Media in a statement. “This new platform represents an important evolution of the company’s digital strategy and gives our passionate fans a fun and engaging new way to interact with our stars in a trusted, family-friendly environment, 365 days a year.”
Great American Media
Great American Media was launched in June 2021 by Abbott, who left his position as CEO of Hallmark Media — then called Crown Media Family Networks — in 2020. The company purchased two cable networks and began showing content in September 2021.
Hallmark stars including Jen Lilley, Danica McKellar, and Trevor Donovan signed on to make movies for the new network. Candace Cameron Bure shocked fans when she announced she would also produce and star in content for Great American Media. Last week, Abbott announced that Lori Loughlin would star in a movie for the network.
“Lori is a genre-defining star that I have had the honor to call a close friend and collaborator for more than 15 years,” said Great American Media CEO Bill Abbott in a statement. “We have a shared vision for creating meaningful and memorable movies that resonate with our passionate fans, and I look forward to welcoming her back to Great American Family to anchor our 2023 winter programming slate.”
