‘Three Wisest Men’ Premieres on Hallmark as Extended Cut With Alternate Ending Arrives on Hallmark+

The rollout underscores Hallmark’s broadcast-to-streaming strategy for its holiday franchises.

Overview

  • The third Brenner-family film debuted on Hallmark Channel on Saturday, November 15 at 8 p.m. ET with Tyler Hynes, Paul Campbell, Andrew Walker, and Margaret Colin returning.
  • An Extended Cut featuring a different ending becomes available on Hallmark+ on Sunday, November 16, following the broadcast premiere.
  • Early audience feedback from Hallmark Christmas Cruise screenings and social posts has been positive, with fans eager to compare both versions.
  • Andrew Walker says writers Paul Campbell and Kimberley Sustad are developing ideas to reunite the trio for a new project beyond the trilogy, though no project is confirmed.
  • Filming took place in British Columbia’s Vancouver region, primarily Langley with locations in Abbotsford, as coverage also notes conflicting reports on writing credits between IMDb (Campbell and Russel Hainline) and outlets crediting Campbell and Sustad.
