‘When Calls The Heart’s’ Chris McNally Added To Two Different Series: All The Details
When Calls The Heart’s Chris McNally has just signed on to reoccurring roles in two different series.
Here is what we know now.
Chris McNally Added As ‘Heavily Reoccurring’ Role In Two Series
Last year, WCTH’s Chris McNally’s character Lucas Bouchard won over the heart of Elizabeth Thornton (Erin Krakow), in one of the most hotly debated on-screen love triangles. On Friday, McNally proved he is a hot commodity beyond Hallmark. He has just been added to two series, in “heavily reoccurring roles.”
According to Deadline, the A Dog Named Indie star has signed on with both Paramount+’s Grease prequel, Rise of The Pink Ladies, as well as Netflix’s Firefly Lane.
The Snowkissed star is portraying a teacher in each of these roles. However, each role is dramatically different.
Chris McNally Added As ‘Heavily Reoccurring’ In Grease: Rise Of The Pink Ladies
The WCTH star is joining the new Paramount+ Grease prequel series, Rise Of The Pink Ladies. This is a musical series that takes place in 1954, four years before the original Grease. This follows four “fed-up outcasts” at Rydell High School who defy convention.
McNally will play Mr. Daniels, a young, cool teacher, so he’s well-liked by many, but he is actually a bad guy who threw a 16-year-old student under the bus for coming onto her, and tries to gaslight her into thinking he didn’t.
This is a musical production. There will be original songs and choreography. Will Chris be singing, and perhaps dancing? Hearties will have to watch to find out. The series is now in production and should be set to be released in late 2022.
Rise Of The Pink Ladies stars Marisa Davila as Jane, Cheyenne Isabel Wells as Olivia, Ari Notartomaso as Cynthia, Tricia Fukuhara as Nancy, Shanel Bailey as Hazel, Madison Thompson as Susan, Johnathan Nieves as Richie, Jason Schmidt as Buddy, Maxwell Whittington-Cooper as Wally and Jackie Hoffman as Assistant Principal McGee.
Chris McNally Added As ‘Heavily Reoccurring’ In Netflix’s Firefly Lane
In his second role, Chris McNally is playing a very different role from Mr. Daniels. In Netflix’s second season of Firefly Lane, he is portraying an inspirational mentor.
McNally will play Mr. Waverly, a charismatic new English teacher who pushes Kate and Tully out of their comfort zones and inspires them to reach for new heights.
Firefly Lane stars Kathrine Heigl and Sarah Chalke. Netflix should drop Season 2 later in 2022.
What Will Happen With Lucas In When Calls The Heart Season 9?
Chris McNally will be front and center in WCTH Season 9. As Elizabeth and Lucas are Hope Valley’s new power couple, this season promises a lot of romance. However, there could certainly be opportunities for the saloon owner to deal with adversity. Will they be able to overcome obstacles together? You will have to watch to find out.
When Calls The Heart Season 9 premieres on Sunday, March 6, at 8 p.m., Eastern, on the Hallmark Channel.
