Meghan Markle Heads ‘Love Is in the Air’ Programming Slate on Hallmark Movies Now

The Meghan Markle movie When Sparks Fly debuts on Hallmark Movies Now on Monday, February 1, as part of the streamer’s “Love Is in the Air” February programming lineup.

The film, which originally aired in 2014, was made two years before the former Suits star met Prince Harry, and sees her playing a journalist, Amy Peterson, who falls for an old flame who’s about to marry her best friend. Starring with Markle is Lochlyn Monro from Riverdale.

“I’m a sucker for a romantic comedy,” Markle told TV.Goodness.com while promoting the film in 2014. “It was light and easy and it was a departure from Rachel [on Suits], who is so refined and polished. … It was fun to eat ribs and get barbecue sauce all over my face and run around in jeans all day.”
