***********************
“To me, the legacy of When Calls the Heart is the Hearties [the show’s devoted fan ‘club’], the most important legacy long after the show ends,” Bird says. “The Hearties will still be there as friends in the community. So many new friends have been made through this and they love each other. It’s like there’s sort of a form of church that’s happening, sense of community, people caring about another and praying for one another.”
—Brian Bird, Creator and Executive Producer

    I’m hooked, I look forward to each new season I own all 7 seasons on DVD.

    Please consider filming more episodes per season. It goes so fast and very disappointed when it ends. When Calls The Heart is the only show I watch faithfully. My family knows, no matter what’s on tv, when “When Calls The Heart “ comes on, “don’t even bother me”.

    When can you tour the set in B C?

  • We love this show and I hope this show is renewed for 2021.
    Please keep this show. It is a delightful show. It demonstrates love and kindness to the world at this time of the Coronvirsus.

  • Roberta Price

    We certainly hope that When Calls the Heart will be renewed for another season! This is must-watch Sunday night viewing for us! We have been loyal fans since the first episode and want it to continue every year! Please let us have the good news that When Calls the Heart will return next February after the season finale this coming Sunday!

    There have been 6 full season and now season 7 … the first mention of any Native North American comes in form of a skillfully made arrowhead … nicely described ..

    This is the Canadian West in the early 1900’s. There have always been Native North Americans in the Canadian West and throughout Canada ( & the USA). So where are they in When Calls the Heart? I understand the “Hallmark” flow but this is a large big missing piece of the situation.. And just like the settlers, most are good people.
