Jen Lilley jumped ship and inked a deal with another channel. The activist took to social media to confirm she was joining Great American Family like other actors, including Danica McKellar, who also left Hallmark. In January 2022, she shared an article on her Instagram account touting the news that she had signed with GAC. Lilley stated, “I’m so thankful for every opportunity I’ve had so far as an actress. I truly believe I have the kindest fans, many of you have become my friends, and I’m so excited to share this next chapter and what [GAC] is building with you.”

Lilley may have been motivated by her religious beliefs when she transitioned to GAC. The channel, which recently merged with faith-based subscription video-on-demand service Pure Flix, features content that “celebrate[s] faith, family and country.” As she explained in her comment section (via Cinema Blend), “GAC family is completely loving, diverse, and does so much behind the scenes for the kingdom of God that I get compelled as a Christian to support them whole heartedly.” And just because Lilley has committed herself to doing four movies in two years for GAC, it doesn’t mean she cannot make any other flicks. Lilley’s contract is non-exclusive and she may pursue other projects.
