In October 2022, "Filmed on Location" was only the podcast's second-ever draft, with just 25 eligible movies that had premiered at that time. Since then, Hallmark has added 47 new international productions, making it the perfect time for a new draft—with plenty of spirited debate, surprise picks, and tough decisions along the way.

So grab your passport and join us as we travel the world Hallmark style—where you're almost guaranteed to discover a long-lost relative, inherit a villa, solve a mystery, fall in love...or maybe accomplish all four before your return trip home.
