Brendan Penny is no stranger to Hallmark. He has starred in a number of their films to date including "In Merry Measure," "Beverly Hills Wedding," and "The Secret Ingredient." Penny particularly enjoyed starring as an uninspired artist instead of the typical hero, in "The Wedding Cottage," so it's no surprise he's fully onboard for making part two happen.
In an interview with Just Jared, the actor pitched his idea for a sequel: "They could make a second movie out of it for sure. Where we have our wedding at the Wedding Cottage, you know, and the hijinks that are involved with that." Evan and Vanessa tying the knot is the perfect continuation of this particular story and has the potential to be romantic and funny.
However, Penny's motivation isn't just to reprise his nuanced character but also to reunite with his co-star, Erin Krakow. He shared, "I hope it could have 10 films out of it so I could work with Erin again." Penny's eagerness to reconnect with her and footage of their behind-the-scenes relationship has many wondering if there's more to their on-screen romance.
