When the Hallmark Channel decided to cancel "Chesapeake Shores," there was hope that the story could continue in some fashion. Asked if she was thinking about a potential spinoff, executive producer Phoef Sutton told TV Insider, "I can't really share anything yet, but we are in discussion about something like that. I don't really know what it would entail yet, but I don't think you've seen the last of the O'Briens, let me put it that way."
Back in 2019, the Hallmark Channel announced that a standalone "Chesapeake Shores" spinoff movie was in the works, which would focus on the three O'Brien sisters: Abby (Meghan Ory), Bree (Emilie Ullerup), and Jess (Laci Mailey). According to the announcement, the story would have involved the sisters traveling to Rome to attend a wedding, only to arrive and discover the bride has gone AWOL.
Speaking with Super Channel back in 2021, executive producer Dan Paulson revealed that the film had indeed been in the works, although somewhere along the line, the destination changed from Italy to an entirely different European country. Ultimately, he explained, the whole thing was kiboshed by the pandemic. "It was going to be a destination film where the three sisters would go somewhere, because they're great together," Paulson explained. "We talked about Ireland, since the family is from there, and actually wrote a script."
