Number 13 is lucky for Hope Valley. Hallmark Channel has renewed When Calls the Heart for a 13th season which will launch in 2026. The show’s 12th season of 12 episodes finished airing last night.
A romantic historical drama series, the When Calls the Heart TV show stars Erin Krakow, Martin Cummins, Pascale Hutton, Jack Wagner, Kavan Smith, Andrea Brooks, Chris McNally, Kevin McGarry, and Viv Leacock. Melissa Gilbert guests. Inspired by the Janette Oke novel, the TV series follows Elizabeth Thatcher (Krakow), a young teacher from a high society background. She’s assigned to teach in a coal country classroom, and it’s a life-changing experience. In the 12th season, schoolteacher Elizabeth and Mountie Nathan Grant (McGarry) have admitted their feelings for one another and begin their courtship. Of course, it wouldn’t be Hope Valley if everything in their relationship went smoothly.
Airing on Sunday nights, the 12th season of When Calls the Heart averages a 0.08 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 1.50 million viewers (includes DVR playback through 3:00 AM). Compared to season 11, that’s down by 36% in the demo and down by 22% in viewership.
