The Brenner brothers are back, and just in time for the holidays! Hallmark’s penchant for festive family fare continues with “Three Wiser Men and a Boy,” premiering Saturday, November 23, 2024. Five years after their last Christmas caper, Luke (Andrew Walker), Stephan (Paul Campbell), and Taylor (Tyler Hynes) return, this time facing a yuletide challenge that involves a school musical and their mother’s new beau. Check out the teaser trailer below.
As any devoted Hallmark viewer knows, the holiday season isn’t complete without a touch of romantic entanglement and familial reconciliation. “Three Wiser Men and a Boy” seems to deliver on both fronts. While the brothers grapple with their mother Barbara’s (Margaret Colin) latest romantic interest, Luke’s son Thomas (Miles Marthaller), a budding thespian, finds himself in need of assistance with his school’s holiday musical. Given the Brenner brothers’ track record, it’s safe to assume their involvement will lead to more merry mishaps than smooth sailing.
Behind the scenes, the creative team aims for the right blend of heartwarming sentiment and holiday hijinks. With a script co-written by Paul Campbell himself, along with Kimberley Sustad and Russell Hainline, “Three Wiser Men and a Boy” looks to capture the same comedic charm that made the previous “Three Wiser Men” movies a success. Director Terry Ingram takes the helm.
This latest installment suggests Hallmark has found a winning formula in the Brenner brothers, turning what might have been a one-off Christmas special into a full-fledged franchise. For fans of the previous films, this reunion is likely to be a welcome return to familiar holiday comfort. Whether the brothers’ antics will help or hinder young Thomas’s theatrical aspirations remains to be seen—though given their history, a little chaos seems all but guaranteed.
“Three Wiser Men and a Boy” premieres Saturday, November 23, 2024, at 8:00PM on Hallmark Channel.
