Hallmark Media announced that production has started on Ripple, an all-new, original series shooting in Toronto, Canada. The compelling one-hour drama series comes from Lionsgate Canada and will premiere on Hallmark+ in 2025.
Leading the ensemble, as four strangers whose lives start to serendipitously intersect, are Tony Award nominee and Gotham Award winner Frankie Faison (Till, The Rookie: Feds, The Killing of Kenneth Chamberlain), Julia Chan (Katy Keene, Archive 81, Before, Saving Hope), Ian Harding (Our Little Secret, Pretty Little Liars, Holidazed) and Sydney Agudong (Lilo and Stitch, Ether, On My Block,).
Set in New York City, Ripple explores how seemingly small decisions can bring strangers together in unexpected ways. The series follows four individuals — Walter (Faison), Kris (Chan), Nate (Harding) and Aria (Agudong) —who have unknowingly crossed paths many times but never met. As they each face life’s challenges, their actions create a ripple effect that ultimately connects them. Ripple delivers a powerful message of hope: just wait for the rainbow, some of the best things in life can’t happen without the storm.
“Walter, Kris, Nate and Aria are the heart of Ripple and it was essential that we get it right in casting those roles,” said Kelly Garrett, VP, Programming, Hallmark Media. “Frankie, Julia, Ian and Sydney are magic as our core four. We cannot wait for them to guide viewers through this romantic look at life and humanity in New York City.”
Created by Michele Giannusa (The Dead Girls Detective Agency), Ripple is executive produced by Giannusa, Joni Lefkowitz (New Girl, Jane the Virgin) who also serves as showrunner, Jocelyn Hamilton (Burden of Truth), Darren Giblin as well as Amanda Tapping (Supernatural) who also serves as supervising director and pilot director. The series comes from Lionsgate Canada.
