Jonathan Bennett expressed his excitement about filming a homosexual love tale for a Hallmark Channel show that was based in Santorini. He stated how important this initiative is to him and emphasized the importance of representation in the media. 

Bennett disclosed that the next three films, The Groomsmen, starring him, Tyler Hynes, and B.J. Britt, will set a record by being the first Hallmark movie to center on a homosexual wedding.

Bennett talks about the new hallmark film

Bennett said at San Diego Comic-Con on July 25 that his character, Danny, is part of a story that not only examines themes of friendship and love but also revolves around a wedding. This endeavor is an important milestone for Hallmark, reflecting wider trends in media representation and diversity.

Bennett's delight in the part and the setting emphasizes the necessity of creating different tales and representing the LGBTQ+ community in mainstream media. His participation in this video demonstrates a developing appreciation for varied perspectives and tales in popular culture. 

Bennett emphasized that by presenting a homosexual marriage as the main plot for the first time, Hallmark Channel had achieved a huge milestone. The LGBTQ+ community saw this as a significant accomplishment, as it gave them representation in these kinds of stories. The characters in this new trio are well defined: Danny is an ex-jock with a golden heart, Pete is a planning-loving physician, and Jackson is a chic and endearing social media agent.

The series follows their lives and relationships amid these breathtaking backdrops.
