"Home and Family," a morning talk show hosted by various people over its ten-year run, was the first original series on the Hallmark Channel, so its demise was particularly sad (via Vocal Media). However, in March of 2021, Variety announced that Hallmark had permanently canceled it. As almost all productions learned the hard way over the past few years, COVID-19 made it difficult—if not impossible—to continue working, at least consistently. Production on "Home and Family" was paused twice due to the virus.
A spokesman for the program said in a statement, "The ninth and current season of 'Home & Family' will be the series' last. For nearly a decade, the show has anchored our daytime lineup, featuring countless hours of cooking, lifestyle, DIY, health, entertaining, and decorating segments. We want to thank the heart and soul of the show, our incredibly talented cast and crew — led by co-hosts Debbie Matenopoulos and Cameron Mathison — for their creativity, hard work and dedication."
Was there more to the story of "Home and Family's" cancelation? We did more digging, but all we could find were multiple sources reporting that the challenges related to COVID shutdowns proved too difficult for the cast and crew (per The Things).
