‘The Chicken Sisters’
Starring: Schuyler Fisk, Genevieve Angelson, Lea Thompson, Margo Martindale and Wendie Malick.
Summary: “The Chicken Sisters” follows a multigenerational feud set in the fictional Southern town of Merinac. For decades, dueling fried chicken restaurants Chicken Mimi’s and Chicken Frannie’s have competed to be the best place to get fried chicken in the state.
The ongoing feud keeps the founders’ families fractured. Locals take sides, romance heats up and there’s an opportunity for the families to make things right.
“On the surface, the show is about two restaurants competing on a reality show, but it’s about the baggage we pass down through the generations and learning to unpack it. I love telling this multigenerational story focused on women: their frustrations, their desires, and ultimately, their healing,” said Annie Mebane, the series’ showrunner and executive producer, per Variety.
Premieres: Tuesday, Sept. 10, on Hallmark+. Subsequent episodes will premiere every Thursday following, starting Sept. 12.
