Return to the Ranch - "Heartland" Season 18 Premieres Tonight on UPtv (Details on 1st Episode + My Review)




Are you ready to get back in the saddle, Heartland fans?

I just wanted to share a reminder that Heartland Season 18 premieres tonight, Thursday, January 8th, on UPtv, at 8pm/7c. I had the opportunity to screen the first episode, and I’m happy to say it stays true to the heart of the series... family-friendly, full of warmth, and it has just the right touch of intrigue.

Season 18, Episode 1:
"True Grit" - Amy helps Nathan Pryce with a sheepdog competition while Heartland faces Pryce Beef competition and an impending water shortage, straining Lou, Jack, and Tim."

One small caution: A woman admits, in a private conversation, that she cheated on her husband. Nothing more is said or shown.

Here's a more in-depth synopsis of the entire 18th season via UPtv:
"The success of a family run ranch in the foothills of Alberta isn’t guaranteed, even in the best of times, and when season 18 begins, Heartland’s future has never been more precarious. With new competition from a neighboring ranch, and a drought that threatens the health of the herd, the only solution is for the Bartlett-Fleming family to buckle down and adapt like never before. Amy’s work with horses continues to be her focus, but when she unexpectedly finds her heart pulled in two different directions, she’ll be forced to make a difficult decision. Lou will be more involved than ever in the family cattle business, often placing her at odds with Jack and Tim. However, when it matters most, the entire family will come together and prove that no adversity is too great when they’re united. It will take courage, resolve, and strength of character to overcome the challenges ahead. In other words, it’ll take true grit.

So be sure to tune in tonight at 8pm/7c. for the first episode of Heartland season 18 on UPtv.

If you'd like to watch more episodes of Heartland, including season 19, you'll want to stream through UP Faith & Family- *see details here*.
