'When Calls the Heart' Season 14 Filming Begins!!!

Exciting news, Hearties! The wait is officially over - Season 14 of When Calls the Heart is now in production! 🎬

The cast began filming today, August 4, 2026, at the Hope Valley Jamestown movie set at MacInnes Farm in Langley, British Columbia. Production is scheduled to continue through November, which means we have plenty of Hope Valley behind-the-scenes sneak peeks to look forward to in the months ahead!

And, of course, many of the familiar faces we've grown to love over the years will be returning... Erin Krakow, Kevin McGarry, Pascale Hutton, Kavan Smith, Jack Wagner, Chris McNally, Viv Leacock, Natasha Burnett, Andrea Brooks, and more are all back for another season!

And, of course, Lori Loughlin is returning as Abigail Stanton! We saw Abigail make her much-anticipated return in the Season 13 finale, so I'm very curious to see what Season 14 has in store for her.

Now that filming has officially begun, I'm sure we'll get a few little clues from the cast along the way. You know I'll be keeping my eyes open for any Hope Valley happenings!

And then there's the big question...

Will Season 14 bring us a wedding?

After all, Season 13 ended with Elizabeth and Nathan engaged, so naturally, I'm already wondering if wedding bells will be ringing in Hope Valley this season! Of course, When Calls the Heart always has plenty of stories unfolding beyond romance, so I'm curious to see where all of our favorite characters' journeys take them next.

I'm especially hoping we get more sweet Allie and Oliver moments. I would also love to see some new storylines develop for Goldie and L.J. And, I'm going to put this out there... I kind of hope Faith finds love this season! I think that could make for a very interesting storyline.

But what about you, Hearties?

What storylines, friendships, or couple pairings are you hoping to see in Season 14? I'd love to hear your thoughts, predictions, and Hope Valley wish list in the comments below!

Until then, I'll be dreaming of Hope Valley... and wondering what Season 14 has waiting just around the corner.

I hope you have a wonderful day!

"When Calls the Heart" Renewed for Season 14 with Beloved Cast Member Returning

Even before the first episode of "When Calls the Heart" season 13 airs on January 4, 2026, Hallmark has confirmed via People that the beloved series has been renewed for Season 14 - coming in 2027!

In addition to that exciting news, a former "When Calls the Heart" cast member will be returning to the series - Lori Loughlin, as Abigail Stanton, for six episodes!

It has been nearly seven years since we've seen Lori as Abigail Stanton in Hope Valley since her final appearance in Season 6, when her last episode aired on March 10, 2019.

People has also confirmed more great news! "The show's core cast — including Erin Krakow, Kevin McGarry, Jack Wagner, Chris McNally, Pascale Hutton and Kavan Smith — will also return for season 14."

Since Lori has been away, she's added other programs to her acting credits, including her reprisal of the role of Abigail Stanton, for two episodes of "When Hope Calls" on Great American Family in 2021. (I was personally hoping Lori might appear back in Brookfield, but that seems unlikely now with this return to WCTH.)

Abigail was the first friend that Elizabeth made upon arriving in Hope Valley, and losing her in season 6 left a noticeable void. Her return will surely restore some of the warmth and spirit of the show’s early years.

Filming for season 14 will begin next year - in 2026. Erin Krakow is currently 5 months pregnant; however, the cast typically films during the summer, so that shouldn't be an issue. Andrea Brooks (Dr. Faith Carter) has filmed many episodes for WCTH while expecting her children.

I can't wait to see old friendships rekindled, emotional storylines, and that familiar sense of community. I know I've certainly missed Abigail’s kindness, strength, and warm presence in Hope Valley. This is the comeback many of us Hearties have been been waiting and hoping for.

Hope this news 

adds joy to your day!

Heartland Season 14 - Coming to UPtv this Summer! Details Here:

Heartland image via: UPtv

Mark your calendars, Heartland fans - the drama series returns in the U.S. with new episodes Thursday, July 8th, on UPtv!

Heartland originates on the CBC channel in Canada. Season 14 already aired there from January to March. In May, Season 14 became available in the U.S. through UPtv's streaming service UPtv Faith and Family.

Season 14 of Heartland finds horses healing Amy as much as Amy heals horses. While Amy struggles with a life-changing challenge, the entire town of Hudson will have to deal with an unexpected disaster that threatens to derail Lou’s first term as mayor. But, the family will pull through together and be stronger as a result. Family is courage, and times change.

Also, in Season 14, along with most of the regular cast members, you can also look for two well known Hallmark actors, Kevin McGarry ("When Calls the Heart") and Gabe Hogan ("Murder, She Baked").


Here's an extended trailer of Heartland's Season 14:

Also, if you haven't heard, Amber Marshall (who portrays Amy), has already announced Season 15 is happening!

I am often asked if Heartland is a family-friendly series. I would say 9 out of 10 times it is; however, there have been some issues with language, drinking and although it is rare, there have been some adult situations. I have not viewed the 10 episodes for Season 14, yet, but I hope there will also be some touching family moments, as there have been in all of the previous seasons of Heartland.

Happy trails to y'all, Net
