When Calls the Heart: Season Six; Hallmark Announces Series’ Return Date

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).

Here’s the press release and a preview of the return:
