Alison Sweeney and Benjamin Ayres Reunite in 'Love & Jane' for Hallmark's Austen-themed 'Loveuary'

The romantic comedy, premiering on February 10, features a modern twist on Jane Austen's classic tales, with Sweeney producing and starring alongside Ayres.

'Love & Jane' stars Alison Sweeney as Lilly, a Jane Austen-obsessed ad exec, and Benjamin Ayres as tech billionaire Trevor, in a story that blends modern love with Austen's timeless romance.
The film marks a reunion for Sweeney and Ayres, who previously co-starred in Hallmark's 'Chronicle Mysteries' series, and is part of Hallmark's Austen-themed 'Loveuary' programming.
Jane Austen herself, played by Kendra Anderson, appears as a character in the movie, offering advice to Lilly and adding a unique twist to the Austen-inspired narrative.
The project reflects a broader Hallmark strategy of reuniting popular past duos in new movies, following the success of similar pairings like Lacey Chabert and Scott Wolf.
Sweeney, who also served as a producer, helped develop the movie with writer-director David Weaver, emphasizing themes of real human connection over digital interactions.
