When Luke Macfarlane starred in the 2022 hit comedy “Bros,” many questioned whether this was the first step in him slowly leaving the Hallmark channel. While doing press for the new movie, he made it seem as though the “Bros” film was the beginning of a new chapter for him as he explained how grateful he was toward Hallmark. He told People, “I’ve been doing romantic comedies for a long time with Hallmark and they have given me an incredible opportunity to sort of learn how to sort of be in that genre … they’re really excited for me.” This statement wasn’t reassuring to those fans who adore Macfarlane on the Hallmark channel, and it only seemed to get worse as he continued his press tour for the film.

Macfarlane joked with the Los Angeles Times, “[Hallmark has] been very good to me, but I think I’ve told my story for now with those folks. I mean, how many firefighters can I play?” This seemed to be the confirmation many Hallmark channel fans needed to conclude that Macfarlane was not going to return to the network. It seemed as though he was going to focus on more blockbuster films and series, but Macfarlane may have just been teasing because he’s far from done with the channel.
