More Episodes Announced for 'When Hope Calls: Brookfield' Season 4 + Streaming News

Exciting streaming news! When Hope Calls Season 1 will soon be available to stream on Great American Pure Flix - beginning October 29th!

While Season 1 will also be available on Netflix, beginning September 14th, all seasons of When Hope Calls will exclusively be available to stream only through Great American Pure Flix.

And if you're thinking about the upcoming season, Season 4 of When Hope Calls: Brookfield will begin filming in September in Ontario, Canada for a premiere in 2027, likely in the Spring.

For those of us who were hoping for more episodes, Season 4 will have 8 episodes!

Season 1 had 10 episodes; Season 2 had 2 Christmas episodes, guest-starring Lori Loughlin and Daniel Lissing, plus 6 episodes years later with the new cast; and Season 3 had 6 episodes. So this is the first time the new cast of When Hope Calls will officially have more than 6 episodes.

Great American Media also announced via Parade that we can expect to see all of the main cast we love returning, including Cindy Busby, Christopher Russell, Nick Bateman, Sarah Fisher, Trevor Donovan, Jon McLaren, Jesse Hutch, Wendy Crewson, Hanneke Talbot, Neil Crone, Elizabeth Saunders, Kalinka Petrie, Jefferson Brown, Rob Stewart, Jillian Murray, and Simon Arblaster.

I’m so looking forward to returning to Brookfield and stepping back in time - to the lives of these beloved characters! This next chapter will likely bring plenty of excitement!

Of course, I’m especially hoping we’ll see Maggie and Sam’s wedding since they were engaged in the Season 3 finale, and I'm hoping Nora and Michael, along with Wyatt and Hannah, continue to find their way toward something deeper. However, there will surely be plenty of twists, challenges, and a little drama along the way before that happens, and that's okay with me... I'm most excited to go along for this new journey!

Happy watching!

"When Hope Calls" Upcoming Episodes Include Danger and Romance

We are midway through the new season 2 episodes of "When Hope Calls," with only three more episodes to go!

Here are the details for the upcoming episodes, leading up to the finale!

The Truth Shall Set You Free - April 27, 2025:
Nora helps a new orphan acclimate; Maggie's baking causes a dilemma for Sam; Hannah holds an auction; someone from Tess' past arrives.

Bringing to Light - May 4, 2025:
Nora and Mountie Fletcher track down a dubious claim; Hannah and Wyatt have a tough decision to make; Maggie tends to the orphans; trouble brews for the ranchers.

Season of Change - May 11, 2025:
(Season Finale on Mother's Day)
The town celebrates; love blooms; the Mounties and ranchers team up to protect the ranchers' livelihood.


My Take on "When Hope Calls":

I have enjoyed the new season of "When Hope Calls" immensely, seeing beloved characters from Season 1 return and gradually meeting new ones. It's been a joy to watch Nora (Cindy Busby) connect on a personal level with each of the orphan children, along with Eleanor's (Elizabeth Saunders) loving guidance.

Sam (Jon McLaren) and Maggie (Hanneke Talbot) are so sweet to watch as they are still newly navigating their relationship, while Sam explores various options for his potential prospecting fortune.

It's still early, but there's a clear attraction between Nora and Mountie Michael Fletcher (Christopher Russell), also known as Fearless Fletcher, who bravely serves and protects while performing heroic acts. After visiting Nurse Maggie for another injury, she asks of him, "Do you going looking for trouble, or does trouble just find you?"

Hannah Lawrence (Sarah Fisher) has also stirred things up in Brookfield with her arrival. She's come to sell her uncle's ranch, creating quite a buzz among the other ranchers, particularly Tess Stewart. It's clear that Hannah and Wyatt (the ranch foreman played by Nick Bateman), are two contrasting personalities that may eventually be drawn to each other.

Then, there's Mountie Jim (Trevor Donovan), known for his strict adherence to the rules. Yet, after some gentle encouragement from his friend, Mountie Michael, he concedes to let Nora take in a troubled orphan girl who seems to crave a little love and affection.

I can hardly wait to see what unfolds in the upcoming episodes listed above! If you'd like to share your thoughts on this series, please do so in the comments below.

New episodes of "When Hope Calls" air Sunday nights on Great American Family in the U.S. and on Super Channel Heart and Home in Canada.

Streaming options include: Great American Pure Flix, Super Channel, Prime Video, Apple TV, etc...

Happy watching!

The 3 Most Frequently Asked Questions About "When Hope Calls" Season 2, including Where to Watch Season 1 and More - SEE HERE:

Since we are just about THREE weeks away (as of THIS SUNDAY!) until the Season 2 premiere of "When Hope Calls" on Great American Family on Sunday, April 6th, I figured it would be the perfect moment to address the THREE most frequently asked questions about the show.

Before I share those questions, though, I couldn't resist sharing above the new "When Hope Calls" Season 2 poster Great American Family released yesterday, especially since I know many of you are just as excited as I am about the new season!

The actors and actresses featured in the poster are Cindy Busby, Christopher Russell, Wendy Crewson, Hannake Talbot, Sarah Fisher, Jon McClaren, and Nick Bateman.

(Reminder: For those of you who stream on Pure Flix, you'll be able to watch early on Thursday, April 3rd!)

Alright, let's take a closer look into the three most popular questions I've come across regarding "When Hope Calls." I'll do my best to provide answers for each one.


The first question is...

Where can I watch Season 1 of "When Hope Calls"?

* Season 1 of "When Hope Calls" can be streamed through Hallmark+ - *click here for details* (The service currently offers a 7-day free trial).

* Amazon Prime also offers a low price to Buy Season 1 to stream - *click here for details*.

* Or if you prefer, the first season of "When Hope Calls" is also available on DVD through Amazon - *click here for details*.

* The Christmas episodes of "When Hope Calls," which are considered to be the first two episodes of Season 2, can be streamed through Great American Pure Flix - *click here for details*. (The service currently offers a 7-day free trial for new members)


The 2nd most asked question...

Will Great American Family air Season 1 of "When Hope Calls" before airing Season 2?

* Unfortunately, Great American Family doesn't have the rights to the first season of "When Hope Calls" at this time. The show originally premiered on Hallmark's streaming platform before being broadcast on the Hallmark Channel. Currently, the only way to view the first season of "When Hope Calls" is through Hallmark+, unless, of course, an agreement is eventually reached between the networks.

* Great American Family does own the rights to their two Christmas episodes that start off season 2. This means there's a chance they might air those episodes before the April premiere, so let's be sure to keep an eye on the schedule!


The third most asked question...

Will any of the actors from the first season of "When Hope Calls" be making a return for season two?

The answer to that is... YES! Among the new characters seen in the poster above, you will also see several familiar faces in season two.

Actors returning include:

Morgan Kohan

Ryan-James Hatanaka

Kalinka Petrie

Wendy Crewson

Jefferson Brown

Hanneke Talbot

Neil Crone

Elizabeth Saunders

Note: Some of the actors from season 1 will be in limited episodes in season two, while others are returning for the entire season.

Jon McClaren is one of the new actors; however, he will be playing the role of Sam Tremblay, previously portrayed by Marshall Williams in season one and in the Christmas episodes.

When Hope Calls Season 2 - Great American Family - Poster - Press Images - Trailer - Episode Details - Starring Cindy Busby, Christopher Russell, Nick Bateman, Sarah Fisher, Jon McLaren, Hanneke Talbot, Trevor Donovan, Neil Crone, Wendy Crewson, RJ Hatanaka, and Morgan Kohan

TV Drama: When Hope Calls - Season 2

Network: Great American Family

Original Air Date: April 6, 2025

Details via Great American Family:

“When Hope Calls” is a spinoff of Author Janette Oke’s legendary book series, When Calls the Heart. Initially, the series followed a pair of sisters, Lillian Walsh (Kohan) and Grace Bennett (Jocelyn Hudon) to the town of Brookfield, circa 1916. “When Hope Calls” is a family drama centered on the town’s orphanage and its residents who meet tremendous challenges while creating a hopeful, faith-filled community on the cusp of change in the frontier town while nurturing the children in their care.

There are eight episodes in season two, and while the opening episodes pay homage to the romance of “Lillian” and “Mountie Gabriel,” new characters are introduced that are seminal to the orphanage and children, the sprawling farms and ranchlands, and to the town of Brookfield who welcome a new Constable from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, “Mountie Michael” (Christopher Russell).

Two More Great American Family Stars Added To The Cast Of When Hope Calls Season 2

Is there a new sheriff in town? Or an outlaw?

As if the cast of When Hope Calls Season 2 wasn't impressive enough, with Cindy Busby, Christopher Russell, Nick Bateman, Trevor Donovan, Wendy Crewson, Hanneke Talbot, Morgan Kohan, and Ryan-James (RJ) Hatanaka, today we learned that two more Great American Family stars have joined the all-star cast!

Before I make the reveal, When Hope Calls is currently expected to premiere in January of 2025 on Great American Family. An actual premiere date has not been given.

So, who has joined the cast?

It's Jesse Hutch, star of Christmas Under the Northern Lights, A Little Women's Christmas, A Christmas Blessing, and more!

Jesse shared the image above on Instagram with the caption:

NEW CHARACTER coming at you in the new year. For some real fun swipe to the end. This cast and this team is awesome. Get excited. #actor #jessehutch #whenhopecalls

Another picture that Jesse shared (see above) revealed another Great American Family star... Sarah Fisher, of A Harvest Homecoming and Meet Me Under the Mistletoe.

It should be fun to learn who Jesse and Sarah's characters will be in the series. Are they, perhaps, a couple?

Stay tuned for more details.

Blessings on your day,

Daniel Lissing of "When Calls the Heart" joins Lori Loughlin in "When Hope Calls!"

What a surprising, interesting cast choice! Daniel Lissing portrayed popular Mountie Jack Thornton on When Calls the Heart. His character sadly died in a tragic accident at the end of Season 5. Presumably, Daniel will take on a new role when he joins his WCTH alum, Lori Loughlin, in season 2 of When Hope Calls on GAC Family.

Deadline is reporting. "Lissing’s role is being kept under wraps for now."

Along with Lori Loughlin and Daniel Lissing, we will see the return of many familiar faces from the first season of When Hope Calls, including:

Morgan Kohan as Lillian Walsh and

Ryan-James (RJ) Hatanaka as Mountie Gabriel Winslow

Wendy Crewson as Tess Stewart

Neil Crone as Ronnie Stewart

Plus, Hanneke Talbot as Maggie Parson

and Jefferson Brown as Joe Moody

When Hope Calls: A Country Christmas is currently scheduled to air on GAC Family on Saturday, December 18, 2021 at 8pm/7c.

I am personally delighted to see this family friendly series return to GAC Family; I'm quite curious to see what Daniel Lissing's role will be. In season one, it was precious to see Lillian with the children at the orphanage, and I'm looking forward to more of these warm and fuzzy, heartfelt stories.

What do you think of this cast news?

Blessings to you all, Net

When Hope Calls season one (10 episodes!) can be seen on DVD and Prime Video.
