As you may have heard, season six of When Calls the Heart was pulled off the air and the remaining episodes of the season were “retooled” to edit out Lori Loughlin’s character (following Loughlin’s involvement in a college admissions scandal). Some fans were worried that the series would be cancelled but that’s not the case.
On Wednesday, Hallmark announced that season six of When Calls the Heart would resume on May 5th.
Now, Hallmark has revealed that the series has been renewed for a seventh season. You can read about it below.

What do you think? Do you like the When Calls the Heart TV show? Will you be watching season seven of this Hallmark series?
Acting and Directing. Has been on the decline. Trite story lines. May 27 show was particularly bad.
Please bring back “quality “ as seen in the first few seasons. Fans cannot be loyal to a show that doesn’t respect their viewers.
I have watched WCTH since it first aired. I will continue to watch. As for the loss of Lori is unfortunate.
I am so looking forward for When Calls the Heart to come back. I love this show. I will miss Lori very much. She did something that was wrong. But don’t we all make mistakes.?I can’t wait for the show to return.
YES…I will be watching this season and next season. I’m SO excited to have it continue. Such as awesome show!!!!!!!!!
I love the show When calls the Heart
