This week, Beyond season 2 with Burkely Duffield and Hallmark’s The Wedding March 2: Resorting to Love starts filming in Vancouver and British Columbia.

Beyond – Season 2 (TV Series)
Beyond stars Burkely Duffield as Holden Matthews. After spending the last 12 years in a coma, Holden has to navigate his way through a changed world, including some newfound supernatural abilities. The show’s first season was a unique success. After having its traditional cable premiere on Freeform January 2nd, the network opted to make all 10 episodes of the first season immediately available to stream online.

As it turns out, that was a great move in terms of building their audience base; in the first week alone, the series was streamed 7 million times according to a report from Variety. It was no surprise when Beyond season 2 was announced as part of Freeform’s event at the winter TCA a week after its premiere. Interestingly, the cast had no idea that the show had been renewed until it was announced live on stage.

With the way the last episode left off, many will be excited to continue binge watching the show when it finally returns. Looking ahead to Beyond season 2, with Holden now having a better understanding of his own abilities, he’ll be looking to take control of his powers even more. The story will also put a heightened focus on Holden’s connections with Willa (Dilan Gwyn) and Charlie (Eden Brolin). As a result, Eden has been upped to series regular.

In addition to Duffield, Gwyn and Brolin, the series stars Michael McGrady (Southland), Romy Rosemont (The Avengers), Jeff Pierre (War Dogs) and Jonathan Whitesell (The 100). All of whom will be returning for Beyond season 2.

Production of Beyond season 2 got underway on April 24th and was spotted filming at Riverview Hospital; a former mental institution in Coquitlam. Burkley Duffield shared a behind the scenes photo from set on his Instagram:

The Wedding March 2: Resorting to Love (aka June Wedding) (TV Movie)
Hallmark’s June Weddings original movie series continues to grow in popularity as it enters its 3rd year. The series features a new wedding-themed movie every Saturday night during the month of June. This year, the series features 3 movies filmed in Vancouver and area including The Wedding March 2.

The original premiered last year and featured former Melrose Place stars Jack Wagner and Josie Bissett as Mick and Olivia respectively. The pair were once college sweethearts who eventually reconnect when Mick finds himself booked to sing at Olivia’s wedding. During its premiere, it drew a total of 2.3 million viewers and during Hallmark’s January TCA event, the network announced The Wedding March 2.

Both Jack and Josie will be returning to reprise their roles in the sequel. According to Hallmark, Olivia and Mick are reunited again and together they run a wedding resort. Although they’re submerged in their work, they discover they may still have feelings for each other after all these years.
