Hallmark Media announced today that The Chicken Sisters has been renewed for a second season. The news comes six months after the drama wrapped its freshman run on streaming service Hallmark+.

The show's first season began airing on Hallmark Channel last week and will continue on Sunday nights through May 18. For Season 2, Hallmark Channel will be its new home, with episodes streaming the following day on Hallmark+.

"We're grateful to Annie Mebane for creating the series for television and expertly bringing to life the town of Merinac and its colorful characters in K.J. Dell'Antonia's beloved book," said Samantha DiPippo, Senior Vice President, Programming, Hallmark Media. "The show is in great hands with Erin Gibson taking the reins as showrunner this season and we know that our stellar cast led by Schuyler Fisk, Genevieve Angelson, Lea Thompson and Wendie Malick will serve up something special for viewers."

Based on the New York Times bestselling novel of the same name, The Chicken Sisters is set in the town of Merinac, where a generations-old rift between dueling fried chicken restaurants - Mimi's and Frannie's - has left the founders' families fractured and the locals taking sides. When a popular cooking competition show comes to town, it could be a way to finally put an end to the feud. But things are heating up both inside and outside of the kitchen as the reality show spotlight causes sparks to fly as secrets are spilled and feathers get ruffled.
