When Calls The Heart Renewed For Season 13 At Hallmark Channel

When Calls the Heart Season 12 will not be its last: During Sunday's finale, Hallmark Channel announced that the long-running drama has been renewed for Season 13.

"Hearties are far more than a fan-base — they are a connected community, as loyal and supportive as the characters of Hope Valley," Hallmark Media SVP of Programming Samantha DiPippo said in a statement. "It is an honor to tell stories of hope, resilience, humor and romance that continue to resonate with millions of viewers for twelve seasons and beyond."

"Set in the early 1900s, When Calls the Heart follows Elizabeth, a cultured schoolteacher, who leaves her comfortable world in the city for a new life in a frontier town and blossoms as the community becomes her true home," per the official logline. "In Season 12, love flourished for Elizabeth and Mountie Nathan Grant as they embraced the joy of new romance. Reporter Rosemary Coulter and retired Mountie Bill Avery teamed up once again to investigate a train robbery, while Governor Lucas Bouchard and Mayor Lee Coulter quite literally found common ground. The community came together to celebrate and support each other through a season of discovering passions, leaps of faith, and a whole lot of dancing."

Season 13 will premiere at a TBD date in 2026. Series stars Erin Krakow, Kevin McGarry, Jack Wagner, Chris McNally, Pascale Hutton and Kavan Smith are all set to return. In the interim, spinoff series When Hope Calls will be back for Season 2 — now on Great American Family — this spring.
