Three Wisest Men marks the ultimate Hallmark movie in the vacation trilogy — but star Andrew Walker teased it’s not the last time fans will see him and his film brothers Tyler Hynes and Paul Campbell.
“I need to maintain working with this group ceaselessly,” Walker, 46, exclusively told Us Weekly on Thursday, November 13, adding that writers Campbell, 46, and Kimberley Sustad are already working on getting the gang back together ahead of Hallmark’s Three Wisest Men premiere.
“That’s the explanation why we were saying we must always shut down the Clever Men franchise prior to later,” Walker added.
The actor, who plays eldest brother Luke Brenner in all three holiday movies, noted that the Clever Men trilogy was “such an excellent thing” that you simply “don’t wish to play out an excellent thing and have people have an excessive amount of of it.”
Moving forward, Walker teased, “The goal is to create something else with completely different characters in a [new] story line and have a totally different adventure that we go on together.”
When asked about his “vision” for his next movie with Hynes, 39, and Campbell, who played his brothers Taylor and Stephan, respectively, Walker said “playing enemies” is one idea.
Walker said one other idea they’ve thrown around is “just us playing ourselves, essentially, but in addition you discover out that we don’t like one another in real life. That it’s just been a hoax. We just placed on our game faces and went to work and did our work together.”

“There’s just a few other ideas, but I don’t wish to spoil it, because Paul and Kim are working on those things,” he confirmed.
Walker has been a part of the Hallmark family since 2012, when he made his debut in A Bride for Christmas alongside Arielle Kebbel. He has since starred in greater than 30 movies, including holiday hits and mystery favorites just like the Curious Caterer Mysteries franchise with Nikki DeLoach.
Nonetheless, it was his role in 2022’s Three Clever Men and a Baby that cemented Walker as certainly one of the Kings of Christmas for the network. In the unique holiday comedy, Luke (Walker) is surprised to search out a baby at his fire house with a note asking him to deal with the toddler ahead of Christmas.
Luke enlists his brothers, worry wort Stephan (Campbell) and gamer Taylor (Hynes), who each live with their mom (Margaret Colin) — or at the very least on the premises — to assist him look after the infant after their mom goes out of town.
2024’s Three Wiser Men and a Boy saw the return of the Brenner brothers as they work together to assist Luke’s son, Thomas, create the very best holiday musical his school has ever seen.
Three Wisest Men, premiering on Saturday, November 15, finds the three siblings facing various personal challenges. Luke and his wife are preparing to grow to be parents again to twins while Stephan is failing to plan his wedding to Susie (Fiona Vroom).
Tyler Hynes and Andrew Walker have been friends for twenty years — and Hallmark Channel fans have taken notice. “We talk weekly,” Walker exclusively told Us Weekly in February 2023 of Hynes, who’s his wife Cassandra Troy’s cousin. “I’ve known the guy for 19 years since he began coming to her house for Christmases […]
Taylor, meanwhile, must resolve what’s next in his profession, while the family attempts to have the very best Christmas ever before their mom sells their childhood home.
“It felt epic, it felt daunting, it felt exciting and it felt joyous to look across the room and see two of probably the most handsome men on television staring into my eyes questioning whether or not they made the fitting decision to make a movie with me,” Campbell joked about creating the ultimate movie, exclusively telling Us earlier this month that the Clever Men movies are the “biggest joy” of his life.
He added: “Should you’re on this life, and you possibly can make good things with good people, you’ve done it. And on this case, I believe we’ve done it.”
Three Wisest Men premieres on Hallmark Channel Saturday, November 15, at 8 p.m. ET.
