HALLMARK CHANNEL ANNOUNCES WORLD PREMIERE OF "LIKE CATS AND DOGS," STARRING CASSIDY GIFFORD AND WYATT NASH, PREMIERING EXCLUSIVELY ON NETWORK APRIL 15

A Romantic Comedy for the Ailurophile and Cynophilist In Each of Us

STUDIO CITY, CA - February 27, 2017 - We may associate April 15 with the nerve-fraying anxiety of Tax Day in the US. However, this April 15 falls on a Saturday, which can mean just one thing: a stress-free Saturday evening enjoying a romantic comedy on Hallmark Channel. Cassidy Gifford ("The Gallows," "God's Not Dead") and Wyatt Nash ("Graves," "The Bridge") star in "Like Cats And Dogs," a Hallmark Channel Original Movie, premiering Saturday, April 15 (9 p.m. ET/PT).

In "Like Cats And Dogs," Lara (Gifford) is a dog lover, while Spencer (Nash) is a cat lover. Spencer and Lara could not be more different. So when Go BnB lands them - and their pets - in the same lake house vacation rental over summer, they will have to figure out a way to get along without killing each other. There are complications: Spencer is in a relationship with Susan, though he is constantly questioning where the relationship is going. Lara is rebounding from a bad breakup and not open to any new romantic possibilities. This particular summer, in the quaint waterfront town of South Haven, a budding friendship will give way to peace and harmony in the house between both the couple and their pets. Can a summer romance be far behind?

"Like Cats And Dogs" is a Front Street Production. Harvey Kahn is Executive Producer. Ron Oliver directs "Like Cats And Dogs" from the screenplay written by Aaron Mendelsohn with revisions by Ron Oliver.
