Hallmark Channel is dusting off The Wedding Veil. Lacey Chabert, Autumn Reeser, and Ali Sweeney will reunite for a second trilogy of movies about a magical wedding veil. And based on a recent social media update from Chabert, it looks like the sequels will take the characters to Greece for a fresh set of adventures. 

The new ‘Wedding Veil’ trilogy premieres Jan. 7 on Hallmark  

The three Wedding Veil movies – The Wedding Veil, The Wedding Veil Unveiled, and The Wedding Veil Legacy – follow three friends who stumble upon an antique wedding veil that is said to bring love to the person who possesses it. Each woman takes possession of the veil and discovers the veil’s surprising magical powers. 

The Wedding Veil trilogy was among the most popular programs to air on Hallmark in 2022. The first movie was the network’s most-watched non-holiday original premiere in over a decade and together, the three films reached a total of 7 million unduplicated viewers. So, it’s not a huge surprise that Hallmark is revisiting the story of a magical veil, with a new set of three moves set to air in early January. 

The first of the three new movies, titled The Wedding Veil Expectations, premieres Saturday, Jan. 7 at 8 p.m. ET on Hallmark Channel. The following two movies – The Wedding Veil Inspiration and The Wedding Journey – will air Jan. 14 and Jan. 12, both at 8 p.m. ET.

In the first trilogy, Avery (Chabert), Emma (Reeser), and Tracy (Sweeney) all found true love, with a little help from the veil. The new movies will see the friends reuniting again after a year apart. And it looks like they’ll be reconnecting in a gorgeous locale. On Dec. 5, Chabert took to Instagram to share a photo of herself, Reeser, and Sweeney posing on a beach in Greece. 

“Together again,” she captioned the image. 

“I love working with the two of you!!,” Reeser replied. “And this time in GREECE!!! So grateful:).”

“SO so excited,” Sweeney replied. The Days of Our Lives alum also celebrated the reunion with a post on her own Instagram. 

“Yup – It’s happening! More #WeddingVeil magic is coming your way soon,” she wrote. “We are having such a blast filming these movies. So grateful for @thereallacey @autumn_reeser & @hallmarkchannel for making this possible!”

As Emma questions her choices, she hopes to find the courage to stop planning her life and start living it. 

The third movie, The Wedding Veil Journey, takes Tracy and Nick (Victor Webster) to Greece for their long-delayed honeymoon. When they lose their hotel room because of a travel delay, they get the chance to stay on a remote island nearby.
