Rumors have been circulating that “Chesapeake Shores” might have been quietly renewed by Hallmark for a sixth season. However, Meghan Ory — who plays Abby in the series — has said on social media that she had not heard anything about the show being renewed. Here’s what we know so far.
The Rumor Started After ‘Spoiler TV’ Reported that Filming Might Start in April 2022 & a New ‘Production Weekly’ Listing Mentioned the Series
The rumor started based on an article published by Spoiler TV on November 4, 2021. The site posted that an unnamed “Production report” noted that season 6 of “Chesapeake Shores” “is being prepared for shooting in April 2022.” The article did not share a link to the production report or a screenshot. It simply noted, “We’ll post the official press release once we have it.”
TV Series Finale has not confirmed this report and Crown Media has not made an announcement.
Heavy found that a November 3, 2021, issue of Production Weekly does mention “Chesapeake Shores 06.”

If the series is renewed, it will likely return for season 6 around the same time that season 5 premiered, since Hallmark tends to keep a fairly consistent schedule for its drama series. This would have it returning in mid-to-late August 2022. However, as of the time of this article’s publication, news about a series renewal has not been confirmed or announced.
Heavy recently asked fans on Facebook if the series should be renewed. You can still cast your vote by commenting in the post below.
A renewal is certainly possible considering how strong the ratings were this season.
