When Calls The Heart – What happened In Season 9?

Fans will remember that after the season 8 finale, where Elizabeth (Erin Krakow) chose Lucas (Chris McNally) over Nathan (Kevin McGarry.) Following this, some long-time Hearties and Nathan fans vowed to stop watching When Comes the Heart.

However, despite this, plenty of fans still tuned in, according to the Nielsen ratings. However, the season 9 ratings were down a little compared to season 8 as an average 3.3 million watched that season’s 12 episodes.

Also, despite the good ratings, it is still unknown whether When Calls the Heart will return for season 10. In recent years, Hallmark has announced the renewal during the finale, but not this time. However, after a fan queried the show’s future, Hallmark did send out a tweet. They wrote, “We will make an announcement about season 10 as soon as we have news!”

Meanwhile, executive producer and creator Brian Bird was interviewed by JLJ Media on YouTube on May 25 about the season 9 finale. Bird said they will continue the show “one way or another”, even if Hallmark doesn’t renew it for season 10.

Bird said whether or not Hallmark Channel wants to keep the show forever doesn’t really matter. He added:

“There will be somebody else who wants it because it is so unique. And we will keep making the show as long as those Hearties want to show up and watch the show.”
