    A baby is part of the magic in the long-awaited follow-up to Hallmark’s Wedding Veil trilogy

    The long-awaited follow-up to Hallmark’s Wedding Veil trilogy premieres this weekend, and if the previews are to be believed, a baby is on the way for Lacey Chabert’s character Avery.

    “The story continues Saturday night! Please let me know if you’ll be watching!” wrote Chabert in an Instagram post that featured a preview of the movie.

    In the brief clip, Avery eats pizza with abandon, looks nauseated when offered a cup of coffee, and gazes down at her stomach, suggesting that she might be pregnant. The tagline reads, “The veil is working its magic again.”

    Hallmark’s Wedding Veil trilogy

    Hallmark introduced audiences to the magic of The Wedding Veil last year with the release of three movies in 2022. The trilogy starred Chabert, Alison Sweeney, and Autumn Reeser, as three college friends who meet up every year for a weekend in a different city.

    While in San Francisco, Avery (played by Chabert) comes across a beautiful lace wedding veil in an antique store. The store owner claims the veil is enchanted and will bring true love to its owner. Though her friends are skeptical, Avery is smitten, and she buys the veil. The next thing she knows, a handsome stranger (played by Kevin McGarry) enters her life, and she soon falls in love.

    In the sequel, The Wedding Veil Unveiled, it was Reeser’s turn to meet a handsome stranger. And in The Wedding Veil Legacy, Sweeney found her happily ever after. The movies were among the network’s most-watched films of the year.

    A story of friendship

    In a Facebook Live event to promote the movies, Chabert, Reeser, and Sweeney said that friendship is the true love story in all three Wedding Veil movies.

    “I think sisterhood is at the heart of these stories,” Chabert said.

    Reeser agreed, saying that the relationship between the three characters reminded her of her own friendships in real life.

    “The love stories that have meant the most to me in my life are the love stories between me and my friends,” she said. “I think friendship gets put in a second-place position and for so many of us, those are the relationships that carry us through our life.”

    Three new movies

    Chabert shared the news that three more Wedding Veil movies were in the works during an appearance on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon. Soon after, co-star Alison Sweeney began sharing photos and videos from the set of the new movies, which were filmed in Greece and Bulgaria.

    Fans were thrilled to find out about the new movies.

    “So excited!!” wrote one fan in the comments section of Chabert’s post. “Loved this trilogy so much!!!”

    The Wedding Veil Expectations will premiere on Hallmark Channel on Saturday, January 7 at 8/7c.

    New Wedding Veil movies

    Sweeney’s co-star Lacey Chabert broke the news that three new Wedding Veil movies were coming to Hallmark during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

    While promoting her new Christmas movie, Haul Out the Holly, Chabert revealed that she was heading to Greece to film the next movies in the series.

    “We’re going to be back,” Chabert said.

    The Wedding Veil trilogy

    Fans were excited earlier this year when they found out that three of their favorite Hallmark stars — Lacey Chabert, Alison Sweeney, and Autumn Reeser — would be starring in a trio of movies together.

    The Wedding Veil trilogy followed three college friends who reunite every year for a weekend visit. During a trip to San Francisco, Avery (played by Lacey Chabert) bought an antique wedding veil alleged to be enchanted. The shop owner told her that the person who has the veil will find true love. Soon after, Avery met the man of her dreams (played by When Calls the Heart’s Kevin McGarry), and the two married. She then passed the veil along to Reeser’s character, who found true love on a trip to Italy to research the veil’s origins. After Reeser’s character said, “I do,” she passed the veil along to Sweeney’s character, who — yup, you guessed it — ended up falling in love as well.

    In a Facebook Live interview to promote the original movies, Chabert said the movies were, at their core, about friendship.

    “I think the sisterhood is at the heart of these stories,” Chabert said.

    On the set

    In posts from the set of the new movies, all three actresses have said how wonderful it is to be working together again.

    “I am so grateful to have such incredibly supportive friends!!” Sweeney wrote in another post. “We were filming late together on a night which happened to be the premiere of #amagicalchristmasvillage. So while we were filming #theweddingveil everyone cozied up to watch and enjoy the movie during our breaks in between takes.”

    The Wedding Veil Expectations will premiere on Hallmark Channel on Saturday, January 7, 2023 at 8/7c.
