Here's everything we know about A Lifelong Love

A Lifelong Love release date

A Lifelong Love premieres Saturday, May 4, at 8 pm ET/PT on Hallmark Channel. 

We don't have a premiere date for UK fans but as soon as that information is available we'll have it for you right here. 

Hallmark Channel is included in many cable TV packages, but if you've cut the cord there are a few other options to help you watch. Hallmark Channel now has a partnership with Peacock so you can watch new movies on the streaming platform with a subscription.

You can also access Hallmark Channel via Philo, Sling TV, Frndly TV, Hulu with Live TV, YouTube TV and Fubo. While Hallmark Movies Now is the network's streaming arm, you cannot access new movies right away, so if you're looking to watch new Hallmark Channel originals you'll need access to the channel. 

A Lifelong Love premise

Here's the synopsis of A Lifelong Love from Hallmark Channel: 

"While trying to reunite her grandfather with his lost love, Annika teams up with college sweetheart Ryan to create a book about the experience, documenting different love stories along the way."
