HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS - CATCHNG UP WITH LUKE MACFARLANE and OLIVIA WESTBROOKS ABOUT THEIR NEW HOME RENO SHOW

Luke MacFarlane and Olivia Westbrooks join forces restoring what matters most in Hallmark+’s new home renovation series, HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS.

Home is Where the Heart Is, is not your regular home reno series. Luke Macfarlane, a Hallmark fan favorite and a talented wood worker, hosts this heartwarming home renovation series, where in each episode, one family invites him inside a once-glorious house that has either been inherited or holds special meaning to them, but is long overdue for some TLC.

Along side Co-Host and Expert Designer Olivia Westbrooks, Luke works with a talented team to seamlessly blend the past and the present, creating a beautiful family dream home that feels refreshed and welcoming, but maintains the heart, love, and charm that has been present inside its walls for decades.  

Luke Macfarlane was recently seen in the Netflix feature, “Single All the Way,” and next appears in the independent film “Lone Star Bull.” Known for his memorable role on the hit ABC series “Brothers & Sisters,” Macfarlane was previously seen in television leading roles in the Syfy series “Killjoys” for five seasons, in the PBS critically acclaimed series “Mercy Street,” FX’s “Over There,” “Smash,” “Satisfaction” and “Supreme Courtships.” Macfarlane’s most recent credits for Hallmark include “Moriah’s Lighthouse,” “A Valentine’s Match,” “Chateau Christmas” and “Taking a Shot at Love” for Hallmark Channel as well as “Christmas in My Heart” for Hallmark Movies & Mysteries
