Birthdays are rough for lots of people, especially when they're big milestone birthdays like turning 40. In the Hallmark Channel original movie Junebug, a woman named Juniper has an opportunity to think about her life through a fresh lens, namely that of her eight year old self. As Juniper's young doppelganger questions where she ended up, Juniper starts looking at making changes in her future.
Junebug kicks off Hallmark Channel's annual Summer Nights programming event, which follows on the heels of the network's Christmas in July 2024 celebration. This year, Summer Nights includes five all-new original movies including My Dreams of You, A Costa Rican Wedding, The Magic of Lemon Drops and Head Over Heels.
