When Hope Calls: Hallmark Streaming Series Coming to Cable

Last year, Hallmark launched the When Hope Calls TV series, a spin-off of Hallmark Channel’s When Calls the Heart TV series. The company upset some fans because When Hope Calls was released as an exclusive of the Hallmark Movies Now streaming service. The first season of 10 episodes wrapped in October 2019 and has yet to be cancelled or renewed for a second season. Now, the western drama series is coming to cable.

When Hope Calls stars Morgan Kohan, Jocelyn Hudon, Ryan-James Hatanaka, Greg Hovanessian, Wendy Crewson, Hanneke Talbot, and Jefferson Brown. The series kicks off in 1916 and centers on two sisters, Lillian (Kohan) and Grace (Hudon), who were orphaned and separated as toddlers. Now that they’re adults, Lillian and Grace have reunited and opened an orphanage in the ranching town of Brookfield.

When Hope Calls will air after on Sundays, starting on February 23rd, at 9:00 PM. The episodes will follow seventh season installments of When Calls the Heart.

Here’s the announcement:
