Beginning May 1, the streaming platform will not have Hallmark content anymore, including their popular shows and the live feed.

In other Netflix news, the streamer will adapt a limited series of Edith Wharton’s The Age of Innocence. Based on the novel of the same name, it’s also a Pulitzer Prize-winning novel that takes place in New York during the 19th century. This is coming from Showrunner/Writer/Executive Producer Emma Frost. The last time a significant adaptation of The Age of Innocence was made is the 1993 feature with Winona Ryder, Daniel Day-Lewis, and Michelle Pfeiffer. Fun fact, Wharton is also author of The Buccaneers which Apple TV+ is adapting and will drop a second season for this summer.
