Krakow announced the show’s renewal during the broadcast of the season 8 finale on Sunday, May 9 on Hallmark Channel. “We are proud to have When Calls the Heart as a central part of our programming. It continues to captivate audiences with its amazing cast and storylines of love, community, and optimism and we are excited to continue the journey in Hope Valley for season nine,” said Michelle Vicary, Executive Vice President, Programming, Crown Media Family Networks. “The series has become appointment viewing on a highly competitive Sunday night. It continues to climb in ratings year-after-year and is one of the top-rated shows in cable!” Fans will likely have to wait until 2022 for the new season to air, but we’ll use that time to ponder these questions: — Will Carson (Paul Greene) return from Baltimore next season and will he and Faith (Andrea Brooks) attempt a long distance relationship or call it quits? —Will Henry (Martin Cummins) return to Hope Valley—and, fingers crossed maybe bring Abigail (Lori Loughlin) with him! —Will Lee (Kavan Smith) run a successful campaign to become the town’s mayorr —Will Nathan (Kevin McGarry) find a love that is reciprocated And of course, we’ll get to see Elizabeth and Lucas’ (Chris McNally) relationship progress. We’ll also get to see Elizabeth continue to teach Angela (Vienna Leacock) and Rosemary (Pascale Hutton) using her skills to churn out The Valley Voice, Hope Valley’s new town newspaper. Below is the season 9 announcement that was made on Hallmark Channel. Next, Where Is When Calls the Heart Filmed?
