Telly’s Take

Will Hallmark Channel cancel or renew When Calls the Heart for season nine? The series has been the channel’s most successful series for a while. I think it will be renewed but wonder, with all of the cast additions over the years, if this could potentially be Krakow’s final year. Could Lori Loughlin return?
