Tyler Hynes is sharing the love for his on-screen brothers Andrew Walker and Paul Campbell.
The Hallmark favorite, whose latest film “I’ll Be Seeing You” premiered on April 25, is voicing his support as Walker and Campbell roll out back-to-back premieres of their own. Walker’s “Kentucky Roses” debuts Saturday, May 2, followed by Campbell’s film, “All’s Fair in Love & Mahjong” on Saturday, May 9, marking three consecutive weekends of films from three of Hallmark’s most beloved leading men.
Hynes Gives a Sweet Shout to Walker & Campbell
“Two legends. Blessing our screens. 3 brothers. Having each other’s backs. 3 weekends in a row,” Hynes wrote in an Instagram Story from May 1, ahead of the “Kentucky Roses” premiere. He tagged both Walker and Campbell in his story, writing “@awalkk35 4 life” and “@paulcampbellofficial 4 life” each followed by a crown emoji.
Hynes’ film, “I’ll Be Seeing You” begins “when a work errand derails Amy’s weekend plans with her grandma, they embark on a road trip with one sentimental detour but need the help of a charming activities director,” per the Hallmark Channel synopsis. It stars Hynes alongside Stacey Farber and Christine Ebersole.
Though Hynes is known for his on-screen presence for Hallmark, the actor explained why “I’ll Be Seeing You” is the first project he put into development at the network as a producer.
In a March 21 Instagram post, Hynes wrote in the caption, “There’s a voice I’ve grown to deeply cherish. A voice I’ve had the privilege of acting opposite. A voice I have the honour of meeting on these tours. And I wanted that voice to take center stage.”
He continued, “I deeply admire the generation that came before me. Not just for their wisdom but for their spirit. And there’s nothing more beautiful then when I hear of families using these movies as multigenerational shared experiences.”
“So here it is,” Hynes concluded. “A title and a song I’ve shared with you for years. A movie inspired by you. Made with you mind. With exactly the people I wished to make it with.”
All About Walker’s ‘Kentucky Roses’
Walker’s film, “Kentucky Roses” is about “a greenhouse worker and the son of Churchill Downs’ CEO form an unlikely pair, coming together to save the Kentucky Derby rose blanket and uncovering a generational love story along the way,” per the Hallmark Channel synopsis. It stars Walker opposite Odette Annable, who will be making her Hallmark debut with this film.
Much like his co-star, Walker has starred in over two dozen films for the network, but “Kentucky Roses” is his first foray into producing.
“Timing is everything,” Walker explained in an interview with PEOPLE. “One of my best friends, her cousin is the CEO of Churchill Downs, Bill [William C. Carstanjen]. There was interest from them to do a movie, and he told her, ‘Well, I see your friend on our television screen all the time. Maybe he’d be interested in bringing this to Hallmark.’ And so I did. And here we are today.”
“We just really lucked out with the timing. Everything falls in line perfectly, I think, when it’s meant to be,” he told the outlet.
All About Campbell’s ‘All’s Fair in Love & Mahjong’
Campbell’s film, “All’s Fair in Love & Mahjong” begins when “a school nurse finds unexpected hope through teaching Mahjong, the centuries‑old Chinese game, which helps her build community and open her heart again,” per the Hallmark Channel synopsis. It stars Campbell alongside Fiona Gubelmann, Yan-Kay Crystal Lowe, Tamera Mowry-Housley, and Melissa Peterman.
Campbell also showed up to support Hynes ahead of the premiere of “I’ll Be Seeing You.”
“Hey,” Campbell begins his hilarious Instagram reel from April 25, revealing that he’s wearing the same red heart-shaped sunglasses that Hynes wears in the film.
Campbell rips the sunglasses off then says, “I’ll be seeing you.” He winks then pauses for dramatic effect before continuing, “I mean, not literally, I won’t literally be seeing you. It’s actually the name of a brand new movie premiering tonight on Hallmark Channel starring my dear friend Tyler Hynes and a whole host of other extraordinary actors.”
Hynes replied in the comments, “☠️ if this man doesn’t have a comedy special soon. What a lord 👑”
