Hallmark Confirms Season 10 Delay For When Calls The Heart

Sorry, hearties, it’s official, we will have to keep waiting a while for season 10 of When Calls the Heart.

Hallmark Channel normally premieres new seasons of When Calls the Heart in the first quarter of the year. Fans will now be disappointed to find out that season 10 is different. The network has revealed that there will be an extended hiatus for the premiere episode, leaving Hearties disappointed.

Hallmark Confirms A Delay On Season 10 Of When Calls The Heart

Hallmark Media Executive VP President of Programming Lisa Hamilton Daly made the announcement.  While at the Television Critics Tour Daly revealed that season 10 of When Calls the Heart is set to drop in the middle of 2023.

As reported by Deadline, there has been quite a bit of uncertainty surrounding the popular drama series lately. Hearties will recall that typically, Hallmark renews the series around the same time that the current season is airing. However, that didn’t happen this year, with the season 10 announcement coming one month after season 9 wrapped.

When the announcement came, Daly said:

When Calls the Heart continues to push the limits as to what we can achieve with this show.

There are many more stories still to be told about the lives of the beloved characters in this series, and we cannot wait for everyone at home to tune in to see what unfolds.

New showrunner for WCTH

When the delayed renewal did come, it was announced that Lindsay Sturman had become the new showrunner. Meanwhile, lead actress Erin Krakow said, “I am thrilled that When Calls the Heart is coming back for the tenth season.” She added:

With our amazing cast, crew, and talented writers, we can look forward to more adventures, laughs, tears, and stories of romance throughout the community of Hope Valley.

We are so excited for all the viewers, especially the Hearties, to continue this journey with us!

Hallmark Channel and drama series

While When Calls the Heart remains a top watch for fans, Hallmark has recently started to move away from longer-running series in the last couple of years. Fans were shocked when Good Witch aired its finale season. On top of this, Chesapeake Shores is set to end later this summer.

Despite this, Hallmark Channel does have some new drama series in the works for fans. One is the rodeo-centric Ride, starring Nancy Travis, Beau Mirchoff, and Tiera Skovbye. Another is a family drama, The Way Home, famously starring Andie MacDowell and Chyler Leigh which no doubt will please fans of the channel.
