“When Calls The Heart” Renewed For A Season 13

Hallmark’s “When Calls The Heart” Season 12 is over and fans can look forward to another season!

The series was just renewed for a 13th season and we’re so happy for the cast and crew.

Hallmark Channel has renewed the Western drama TV series When Calls the Heart for Season 13. Created by Michael Landon Jr. & Brian Bird and based on the book of the same name from Janette Oke’s Canadian West Series, When Calls the Heart debuted on Hallmark on January 11, 2014. The series subsequently began airing in Canada on Super Channel in 2014.

When Calls the Heart Season 13 has been greenlit at Hallmark Media. The previous season debuted on January 5, 2025, and aired for 12 episodes before concluding on March 23, 2025. Hallmark disclosed their decision while the finale was on air.

Samantha DiPippo, the Senior Vice President of Programming at Hallmark Media, called the fans of When Calls the Heart a “connected community” in a statement. “Hearties are far more than a fan base — they are a connected community, as loyal and supportive as the characters of Hope Valley,” DiPippo said. “It is an honor to tell stories of hope, resilience, humor, and romance that continue to resonate with millions of viewers for twelve seasons and beyond.” (via TVLine)
