'Whatever, Martha!' To Be Part Of Hallmark Channel Lineup

New episodes of Whatever, Martha! will return next year, on Hallmark Channel.

The cable network has ordered 26 new episodes (a third season) of the former Fine Living Network series for sometime next year, in a co-production with Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia.

The half-hour show features Alexis Stewart and Jennifer Koppelman Hutt giving their personal take on old episodes of Martha Stewart Living. The same duo also is creating a daily talk show for Hallmark Channel set to debut Sept. 13, the same day a new season of The Martha Stewart Show debuts on Hallmark.

Martha Stewart had the idea for Whatever, Martha! after watching old episodes of Mystery Science Theatre.
