The Emotional Wrap-Up
As the stars of Three Wisest Men finished their final scenes, the atmosphere on set was thick with emotion. After three weeks of filming in Vancouver, the cast and crew gathered for a heartfelt embrace, celebrating their journey together.
Production manager Rob Lycar shared a video of the moment, and it quickly went viral among fans. In the video, the cast and director Terry Ingram share their gratitude for each other.

A Milestone for Terry Ingram
This wrap-up was especially meaningful for director Terry Ingram, who hit his 50th Hallmark movie with Three Wisest Men. Lycar’s caption on the video paid tribute to Ingram’s achievement, joking that maybe now he could finally retire after such a run.
The camaraderie and mutual respect among the cast and crew were obvious. It made this milestone feel even bigger, honestly.
The Journey of the Three Wise Men Franchise
The Three Wise Men franchise has been a beacon of joy and holiday spirit since it started. The original movie, Three Wise Men and a Baby, premiered in 2022 and quickly became the most-watched cable movie of the year.
Its success paved the way for a sequel, Three Wiser Men and a Boy, which aired in 2024. That one snagged the spot as Hallmark’s second-most-watched movie, just behind Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story—another fan-favorite starring Tyler Hynes.
Surprise Announcement and Fan Reactions
Fans were thrilled when the cast surprised them in July by announcing that a third movie was coming. The anticipation only grew as more details surfaced about Three Wisest Men.
The franchise’s knack for capturing hearts really comes down to the cast’s chemistry and those warm, funny storylines that have become Hallmark’s signature. It’s honestly hard not to get swept up in it.
Bittersweet Farewell
The wrap-up of Three Wisest Men was bittersweet for the cast and fans alike. In an interview with EntertainmentNow, Andrew Walker shared his thoughts on ending the trilogy.
He said this movie serves as a wrap-up, bringing back many familiar faces from earlier films. Walker expressed deep appreciation for his co-stars, saying he’d work with them for the rest of his career if he could.
But sometimes, he admitted, it’s best to leave a story on a high note. That way, the magic sticks around.
Looking to the Future
Even though the Three Wise Men franchise is ending, Walker hinted at future collaborations with his co-stars. The group has already tossed around ideas for working together on other projects.
So, fans can probably expect their creative spark to show up in new ways. That’s something to look forward to.
