All The Details On The Hallmark+ Relaunch Including Membership, Peacock & Possible International Streaming
On Tuesday, September 10, HMN will be relaunched as Hallmark+. This is the network’s new streaming channel. However, those HMN subscribers, or viewers who watch the movies on Peacock may be confused on whether or not the streaming content will be available on Peacock. Some publications have reported this, while others have not.
Therefore, we went to the source and sent the four most-asked questions. Thanks to the folks at the network who graciously answered our questions about the change. Here is the information that all Hallmark fans need before they start using the new streaming network.
What Happens To HMN Subscribers?
Will they be grandfathering people from HMN to Hallmark+? And then at the time of renewal, the subscriber will pay the new price in September when you make the change. In other words, will HMN subscribers who are still on the a year-long plan will not suddenly get charged for the increased price?
On launch day [September 10], all Hallmark Movies Now members have been informed of the price change in advance. Once Hallmark+ officially launches, the price change will take effect on the date of their next billing cycle, whether monthly or annual.
Will Peacock Air Hallmark+ Originals?
Some publications have reported that Peacock will be airing Hallmark+ content 24 hours after the premiere. Is that correct? Currently, HMN does not do that until it moves to the OG channel or Hallmark Mystery.
No. Peacock will continue to air a live linear feed of Hallmark Channel, Hallmark Mystery, and Hallmark Family.
Is New Streaming Channel A New Platform Or Rebranded?
Will this be a new platform? Did they start from scratch for Hallmark+, or is this the Hallmark Movies Now platform just rebranded?
We consider this a relaunch, given the newly added membership benefits and new state of original content.
Will Hallmark+ Be Available Internationally?
Will the new streaming service be available in Canada? And perhaps even beyond like the UK or Europe? Or have plans for that in the future?
Four our DTC apps and website, Hallmark+ will only be available in the US at the time of the launch.
On background, we are working on providing Hallmark+ to international partners.
How To Get New Streaming Service
