UP FAITH & FAMILY
TO EXCLUSIVELY PREMIERE
SEASON 19
OF THE HIT FAMILY SERIES
HEARTLAND
IN THE U.S.
BEGINNING NOV. 6
UP Faith & Family Subscribers Invited to a Special Watch Party in Advance of the Premiere
ATLANTA (October 7, 2025) – UP Faith & Family, the leading streaming service for uplifting movies and series, all commercial free, will be the first place in the U.S. to premiere Heartland season 19. Beginning Thursday, Nov. 6, the service will add new episodes weekly with a four-week break after episode five, returning on Jan. 8.
“Heartland fans in the U.S. have long asked for a shorter wait after the Canadian debut, and we’ve been working diligently behind the scenes to make that a reality. We’re excited to bring new episodes to our subscribers just a few weeks after they first air in Canada,” said Philip Manwaring, head of streaming, UP Entertainment.
Heartland is the longest running one-hour drama in Canadian television history. In season 19, the Bartlett-Fleming family must risk everything to keep Heartland and those they love out of harm’s way. Amy strikes a delicate balance between her commitment to a new relationship and always putting her daughter first. However, when her reputation as a horse trainer is called into question, she’s caught off guard, and Amy must fight to save her good name. Lou tries to refocus attention on her family – and not on work, but when a new adversary threatens the ranch, Lou is forced to make some difficult choices. Jack is the steadfast rancher he’s always been, but his patience is tested after he hires an unlikely new ranch hand. And when outside forces jeopardize Heartland, Amy, Jack, Lou and the rest of the family must come together to build a stronger foundation for the future. Each holding fast to their values in the face of it all. Heartland strong.
As a special treat to UP Faith & Family subscribers, fans will have the chance to participate in an exclusive, live virtual viewing event on Tuesday, Nov. 4 at 8 p.m. ET on the app. The Heartland Watch Party is designed for super fans of the beloved series. As the premiere episode airs, fans will have the unique opportunity to watch Heartland together, connect and relive the drama in real time.
