It’s time to go back to Hope Valley! Hallmark Channel has begun production on season 9 of When Calls the Heart in Canada on Wednesday. The new season will consist of 12 episodes and will premiere at a later date.
“We couldn’t be more excited to begin shooting season 9 of When Calls the Heart,” star and executive producer Erin Krakow said in a statement. “It’s a wonderful feeling being back on set with the amazing cast and crew. There are a lot more stories to tell this season and thanks to the talented writing staff, there will be more drama, adventure and romance and we can’t wait for our fans to see what Hope Valley has in store.”
When Calls the Heart remains Hallmark’s most-watched original series. Its eighth season averaged 3.3 million viewers.
In the season 8 finale, Krakow’s Elizabeth finally made a romantic choice between her two suitors, saloon owner Lucas and Mountie Nathan, choosing the former.
