Warming Up to You, a new Hallmark original film starring Cindy Busby and Christopher Russell, is on its way to embellish this year's sweet summer romance. The romantic comedy is set to premiere on Saturday, May 7 at 8.00 PM ET/PT on the streaming platform.
Directed by Christie Will, the movie centers around Kate, a fitness instructor who is relocating to her best friend's healing retreat from Los Angeles. Her studio engaged A-list star Rick to come and train with her for his next movie, much to her astonishment.
Not only do the two break down physical barriers, but they also break down emotional ones and form an unexpected bond, which is jeopardized when Rick's co-star, Liza, is also assigned to train with Kate.
Here is everything to know about the cast of Hallmark's Warming Up to You.

She played the antagonist in Picture This, and also starred in 20th Century Fox's Diary of a Wimpy Kid and The Big Year.
Busby's work ethic and reputation have established her as a household figure and a fan favorite among Hallmark Channel viewers. Unleashing Mr. Darcy, Marrying Mr. Darcy, Love in the Forecast, Follow Me to Daisy Hills, Royal Hearts, Romance on the Menu, and most recently, Chasing Waterfalls are just a few of her many credits for the channel.
