Three Wisest Men marks the final Hallmark movie in the holiday trilogy — but star Andrew Walker teased it’s not the last time fans will see him and his film brothers Tyler Hynes and Paul Campbell.
“I want to keep working with this group forever,” Walker, 46, exclusively told Us Weekly on Thursday, November 13, adding that writers Campbell, 46, and Kimberley Sustad are already working on getting the gang back together ahead of Hallmark’s Three Wisest Men premiere.
“That’s the reason why we were saying we should shut down the Wise Men franchise sooner than later,” Walker added.
The actor, who plays eldest brother Luke Brenner in all three holiday films, noted that the Wise Men trilogy was “such a good thing” that you “don’t want to play out a good thing and have people have too much of it.”
Hallmark gave fans the ultimate gift announcing the third installment of the Three Wise Men franchise this month — but all good things must come to an end. “This is a wrap-up movie,” star Andrew Walker told EntertainmentNow on Wednesday, July 16, confirming that the upcoming “Countdown to Christmas” film will be the last for […]
Moving forward, Walker teased, “The goal is to create something else with completely different characters in a [new] story line and have a completely different adventure that we go on together.”
When asked about his “vision” for his next movie with Hynes, 39, and Campbell, who played his brothers Taylor and Stephan, respectively, Walker said “playing enemies” is one idea.
Walker said another idea they’ve thrown around is “just us playing ourselves, essentially, but also you find out that we don’t like each other in real life. That it’s just been a hoax. We just put on our game faces and went to work and did our work together.”

“There’s a few other ideas, but I don’t want to spoil it, because Paul and Kim are working on those things,” he confirmed.
Walker has been part of the Hallmark family since 2012, when he made his debut in A Bride for Christmas alongside Arielle Kebbel. He has since starred in more than 30 movies, including holiday hits and mystery favorites like the Curious Caterer Mysteries franchise with Nikki DeLoach.
However, it was his role in 2022’s Three Wise Men and a Baby that cemented Walker as one of the Kings of Christmas for the network. In the original holiday comedy, Luke (Walker) is surprised to find a baby at his fire house with a note asking him to take care of the little one ahead of Christmas.
Luke enlists his brothers, worry wort Stephan (Campbell) and gamer Taylor (Hynes), who both live with their mom (Margaret Colin) — or at least on the premises — to help him care for the baby after their mom goes out of town.
2024’s Three Wiser Men and a Boy saw the return of the Brenner brothers as they work together to help Luke’s son, Thomas, create the best holiday musical his school has ever seen.
Three Wisest Men, premiering on Saturday, November 15, finds the three siblings facing various personal challenges. Luke and his wife are preparing to become parents again to twins while Stephan is failing to plan his wedding to Susie (Fiona Vroom).
Tyler Hynes and Andrew Walker have been friends for two decades — and Hallmark Channel fans have taken notice. “We talk weekly,” Walker exclusively told Us Weekly in February 2023 of Hynes, who is his wife Cassandra Troy’s cousin. “I’ve known the guy for 19 years since he started coming to her house for Christmases […]
Taylor, meanwhile, must decide what’s next in his career, while the family attempts to have the best Christmas ever before their mom sells their childhood home.
“It felt epic, it felt daunting, it felt exciting and it felt joyous to look across the room and see two of the most handsome men on television staring into my eyes questioning whether they made the right decision to make a movie with me,” Campbell joked about creating the final movie, exclusively telling Us earlier this month that the Wise Men movies are the “biggest joy” of his life.
He added: “If you’re in this life, and you can make good things with good people, you’ve done it. And in this case, I think we’ve done it.”
Three Wisest Men premieres on Hallmark Channel Saturday, November 15, at 8 p.m. ET.
