Hallmark+ is launching a new unscripted lifestyle series, The Motherhood, hosted by actress Connie Britton. Premiering May 5, the show focuses on supporting single mothers by offering practical help and building community.
Here’s the Lowdown: The Motherhood will debut with two episodes on Hallmark Channel on Monday, May 5th at 8/7c, streaming the next day on Hallmark+. New episodes will follow weekly through June 2nd. In each of the six hour-long episodes, Connie Britton, herself a single mother, connects with another single mom facing the challenges of balancing work, parenting, and personal well-being.
What This Means Now: This series marks Hallmark Channel’s return to primetime unscripted programming, adopting a transformation format similar to shows like Queer Eye. Britton, alongside three expert coaches specializing in home design (Angela Rose), parenting (Destini Davis), and style (Taryn Hicks), works with each mother over a week to improve their living space, parenting techniques, and personal style.
The Bigger Picture: Produced by Scout Productions (Queer Eye), The Motherhood aims to provide practical assistance and emotional support. Beyond the makeovers, the show emphasizes creating lasting change and building a supportive network among the participants. It represents a move by Hallmark to broaden its programming slate with relatable, uplifting lifestyle content centered on empowerment and community for single mothers.
