The Justice Warriors are back for a whole lot of mama (and papa) drama.
True Justice: Eye For An Eye marks Hallmark Channel‘s second True Justice film, once again centering on a group of friends and law students who take matters into their own hands to solve a case. This time, they “take a trip back to high school to exonerate a wrongfully convicted wife, mother, and passionate student advocate,” specifically, Penn Charter’s Parent School Coalition President Sharon Warner, who “is convicted for the vehicular homicide of fellow PSC member.”
Deadline reported in February 2025 that production had kicked off on two True Justice sequels to follow 2024’s True Justice: Family Ties. According to the outlet, the working title for the third film in the True Justice series is True Justice: Lost Love.
Those who have watched (and maybe even rewatched) True Justice: Family Ties will recognize many returning faces, who lead this new title. True Justice: Eye For An Eye premieres tonight at 8/7 c on Hallmark Channel, with next-day streaming available on Hallmark+. But before you settle down to watch this new legal thriller, refresh yourselves on the True Justice cast with our cast guide, which you can check out below.
