The network also announced Monday that David James Elliott (JAG) will recur in the second season, playing someone who resurfaces from Gus' past.
Production begins Monday under the direction of new showrunner/executive producer Erin Gibson (Throwing Shade), and Season 2 is expected to premiere later this year.
The sophomore run will follow Amanda, Mae, Nancy and Gus as they 'use The Chicken Sisters restaurant to officially put a generations-long feud to rest,' per the official synopsis. Meanwhile, Frank Jr. opens a Mr. Chicken's Cluckery on Merinac's Main Street, and a familiar face (Elliott) comes back to town. As Mae and Jay's wedding approaches, 'viewers will follow the Moore-Hillier women as they rise above the roost, proving that family is the only prize worth fighting for,' the synopsis concludes.
The Chicken Sisters wrapped Season 1 in October 2024, and recently made its cable debut on Hallmark Channel, where it is currently airing Season 1 episodes Sundays at 8/7c (through May 18).

Scottie Scheffler, admitted Cowboys fan, would do unthinkable for Super Bowl win
The @PardonMyTake boys are firing today!! 2 points to @PFTCommenter for asking Scottie Scheffler, 'What's the conversion rate…one major for a Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl or would you give up two?' Scottie replies, 'gosh, that's good great question. Hard hitting… With great power come great resposibility, and with great responsibility comes sacrifice. In a surprising revelation that blends sports royalty with personal sacrifice, the world's top golfer and known Cowboys fan Scottie Scheffler, would trade one of his major championships for a Dallas Cowboys' Super Bowl victory. Little to no hesitation existed in his answer showing the world how deep his love for the team runs but a real conversation would have to take place if the price were to go up to two major championships. For those keeping count, Scheffler recently won the Open Championship (often referred as The British Open) pushing his count to four major wins. The 2022 and 2024 Masters Champion was born in New Jersey but his family moved to Dallas when he was six-years old citing the 9/11 attacks as one of the reasons for the relocation. He still resides in the city with his wife and son. In an interview before the 2024 NFL season with Pardon My Take, Scheffler's response to his feelings entering the year reflect similarly to many fans about the Cowboys on social media. Typically I go into every year with a ton of hope and get crushed. - Scottie Scheffler on Pardon My Take (2024) Many fans have expressed the roller coaster feeling the Cowboys season usually puts them through and although fans have endured a rash of heartbreaking endings, the beginning of the ride usually brings everyone back for more. But the first game will start and I'm gonna think 'They're gonna win every game this year.' I'm that Cowboys fan who says 'We're gonna win the Super Bowl, we're gonna go the playoffs,' and it just never even comes close to happening. - Scottie Scheffler Aspirations and expectations aside, for the world's No. 1 golfer, a Cowboys Super Bowl Victory would be just as sweet as another green jacket.

Jennifer Love Hewitt slams Sarah Michelle Gellar feud rumors
She knows what they did last summer. As the modern classic 1997 horror movie 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' has gotten a 2025 revival (now in theaters), there have been rumors of a feud between original stars Jennifer Love Hewitt, 46, and Sarah Michelle Gellar, 48. 'I honestly remain still so confused by all of that stuff,' Hewitt exclusively told The Post. The 'Can't Hardly Wait' actress, who was talking to The Post to promote her ID series 'A Killer Among Friends (airing Mondays 10 p.m. on ID and streaming on HBO Max), added, 'I just feel like we're in a business where they always want women to have a problem with each other.' 11 Sarah Michelle Gellar and Jennifer Love Hewitt in 1998.

Mandalay Ent/Kobal/Shutterstock 'Nobody asked how often Freddie and Ryan have seen each other since the original movie,' she added, referring to Freddie Prinze Jr. 48, and Ryan Phillippe, 50. The rumors of bad blood between Gellar and Hewitt started after the pair didn't pose together for pictures on the red carpet of the sequel's premiere on July 14. Hewitt told The Post that feud rumors, 'seems to be things that they do to women in particular, and it's not necessary.' 'I have absolutely zero beef with Sarah at all,' she went on. 'In fact, I applaud her for being a long-standing badass career woman, a mom, wife – all the things that I am, that we have in common.' 11 Freddie Prinze Jr., Sarah Michelle Gellar, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Ryan Phillippe in 1997's 'I Know What You Did Last Summer.' ©Columbia Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection 11 Jennifer Love Hewitt in the 2025 horror flick 'I Know What You Did Last Summer.' ©Columbia Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection 11 Freddie Prinze Jr. and Jennifer Love Hewitt in 1997's 'I Know What You Did Last Summer.' ©Columbia Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection The '9-1-1' actress shares three kids with her husband, actor Brian Hallisay, who she married in 2013: Autumn, 11, Atticus, 10, and Aidan, 3. The 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer' star, meanwhile, shares two kids with Prinze Jr., who she married in 2002: Charlotte, 15, and Rocky, 12. Hewitt concluded to The Post that that the feud rumors are 'just really unfortunate.' 'We run in different circles,' Prinze Jr. recently told Variety. 'I hadn't seen [Hewitt] since we wrapped the second movie in '98, but we care a lot about these characters, and it was all still there.' Hewitt previously said that she hasn't talked to Gellar since they were 18 in the 1997 movie. Gellar also addressed the rumors on social media. 11 Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. at the July 2025 premiere of 'I Know What You Did Last Summer.'

'I was inside with my kids when the big carpet happened. And unfortunately, JLH didn't come to the after-party.' The 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' star added, 'If you have ever been to one of these, it's crazy. I sadly didn't get pics with most of the cast. But that doesn't change how amazing I think they all are. Unfortunately, some things happen only in real life and not online.' The 1997 Kevin Williamson-written film followed a group of four friends who accidentally kill a man. One year later, they're stalked by a hook-wielding killer. Hewitt and Prinze Jr's characters were the only ones to survive – Gellar and Phillippe's characters both kicked the bucket. Taking to The Post in May, Phillippe joked about how often he dies onscreen. 11 Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe and Jennifer Love Hewitt in 1997's 'I Know What You Did Last Summer.' ©Columbia Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection 11 Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe and Jennifer Love Hewitt in 1997's 'I Know What You Did Last Summer.' ©Columbia Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection '[For 'Big Sky'] they put me all over the key art and the billboards, and then I died in the first episode,' he said, referring to his ABC series, which ran from 2020 to 2023. 'So I had a lot of people that were very angry with me about that. A lot of friends or fans were like, 'Oh, we're going to watch this show and you die in the first episode!' Now, I have to assure anyone when I'm in a project that I'm going to be in more than one episode.' The latest 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' ended with a wild post-credits scene, suggesting more movies in the franchise could happen. 'Oh my gosh, I have no idea. I mean, truthfully, I was just excited to be asked back for this one. So I don't want to be too greedy,' Hewitt told The Post. 'But as long as there's a really interesting, fun story to tell, and as long the people still care about the characters, I'm always happy to hopefully find my way back there.'
