When Calls the Heart Season 12 has come to a close, but Hearties can breathe a sigh of relief. The beloved series, which remains Hallmark Channel‘s longest-running original series, has been renewed for Season 13.
The network confirmed the show’s renewal during the Season 12 finale on March 23. Scroll down for the latest updates about When Calls the Heart Season 13.
When will When Calls the Heart Season 13 premiere?
Hallmark revealed that When Calls the Heart Season 13 will premiere in 2026 on Hallmark Channel and will stream the next day on Hallmark+, where all seasons are currently available
“Hearties are far more than a fan base — they are a connected community, as loyal and supportive as the characters of Hope Valley,” remarked Samantha DiPippo, Senior Vice President of programming, Hallmark Media. “It is an honor to tell stories of hope, resilience, humor and romance that continue to resonate with millions of viewers for twelve seasons and beyond.”
What happened at the end of When Calls the Heart Season 12?
The Season 12 finale ended with Elizabeth, Nathan, Allie, and Little Jack leaving Hope Valley for Cape Fullerton. Elizabeth made a last-minute decision to head to Cape Fullerton after Little Jack’s insulin injections weren’t properly refrigerated during transit.
With a new insulin lab at Cape Fullerton, which Elizabeth found out about from Charlotte Thornton, Elizabeth knew that would be the best place for Little Jack to get the care he needs right now. Fret not, Hearties. Elizabeth vowed to return to Hope Valley.
Will Season 13 of When Calls the Heart be the final season?
Hallmark has expressed no interest in slowing down when it comes to When Calls the Heart. The series remains a core aspect of the network, and the Hearties fandom just keeps getting bigger.
Is When Calls the Heart getting another spinoff?
It’s possible! The first spinoff, When Hope Calls, moved to Great American Family and hasn’t aired since 2021. Hallmark’s EVP of programming Lisa Hamilton Daly is open to the idea of expanding the When Calls the Heart universe.
“We always have conversations about how to expand our IP. It’s a constant conversation, but for that one, it’s going so well still. It’s hard to think, who would you peel off?” she told Variety. “Erin [Krakow] is really central to the show, as many of the cast members are. It’s possible, were that show to reach a conclusion, then we might think about what to do, but at this point, we plan to keep going.”
