Get ready to return to Hope Valley. Hallmark Channel has announced that season six of their When Calls the Heart TV show will return on Sunday, May 5th at 8 p.m. and a second episode will air the following evening, on Monday, May 6th.
Season six of the series was pulled from the schedule following co-star Lori Loughlin’s arrest so that the remaining new episodes could be “retooled” (to edit Loughlin out).
