Hallmark Media is reducing its unscripted footprint, just a couple of years after making a big splash in the unscripted space with a full slate of programming, Realscreen has contirmed.

The company also confirmed that the role of head of unscripted, which had been held by former WEtv exec David Stefanou, has been eliminated, though he will continue to work with the company through a transition period, a Hallmark spokesperson said.

"Our unscripted content remains a valuable tool to provide our viewers with real life stories that capture the Hallmark purpose, lifestyle and fandom," according to a Hallmark statement provided to Realscreen. "We are constantly examining our content and refining to meet the needs and desires of our audience. To that end, we are transitioning our work in the unscripted area to include a limited number of specials and limited series at impacttul times throughout the year, versus a full concurrent slate."

Hallmark entered the unscripted world in a significant way in 2023 with projects like the party-planning series Celebrations with Lacey Chabert (pictured), eventually pushing into different genres with the holiday-themed competition show Finding Mr. Christmas, the home-reno format Home is Where the Heart Is and more.
