It’s time to break out your cowboy boots and bust a move!

Hallmark Channel‘s Texas Two-Step premieres tonight, bringing the network’s signature romance to the Lone Star State. Tonight’s new movie follows Olivia (Heather Hemmens), who returns home to Texas to help her aunt’s struggling country bar. While there, she is not only reminded of her love of dance, but also reunites with her former flame, Luke (Brendan Penny).

Summer is in full swing at Hallmark with its Summer Nights movie lineup, which began with last week’s The Greek Aisle. You can check out DECIDER’s The Greek Aisle cast guide and The Greek Aisle review here. There’s more where that came from, with two more movies premiering this month that are sure to satisfy your movie night needs.

1. Heather Hemmens as Olivia

   Heather Hemmens plays Olivia, a Texas native who grew up with her aunt and has fond memories of the country bar she owns. Though Olivia is currently working as a producer for a high-profile photographer, she longs for more out of work, and to one day be the one behind the camera.

   Ruby (BJ Harrison) is Olivia’s aunt and the proud owner of Sweetwaters, the best country music bar in Blue Creek, Texas. Now running the business alone in the wake of her husband’s passing, Ruby is happy to have Olivia back home, though she doesn’t necessarily want all of her help.

   Harrison is no stranger to Hallmark Channel, as Texas Two-Step marks her second film for the network this year following April’s I’ll Be Seeing You. Her decades-long career also includes appearances in Tooth Fairy, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, and IT: Welcome to Derry.
