Watching a great TV series on a Sunday night is truly special. While scheduled TV watching isn’t as popular as it used to be, shows like The White Lotus (season finale on April 6), American Idol, and The Last of Us (Season 2 starts on April 13) make Sunday evenings more fun and help distract from any end-of-week worries.
One more show that fits perfectly into this lineup is the Hallmark Channel’s most enduring original series, When Calls the Heart. This beloved drama has been airing new episodes throughout 2025, concluding with its season finale last week on March 23. The great news is that the show has been officially approved for a thirteenth season! The not-so-great news is that there will be some time to wait before the next season begins.
When does When Calls the Heart return with new episodes? Here’s everything you need to know.
If you’re looking for entertainment, the Hallmark Channel will be airing a repeat of its new movie, Hearts Around the Table: Shari’s Second Act, from 7:00-9:00 p.m. ET, followed by the first episode of The Chicken Sisters.
Yes! Hallmark Channel announced the renewal after the Season 12 finale aired on Sunday, March 23.
“Hearties are far more than a fan base — they are a connected community, as loyal and supportive as the characters of Hope Valley,” Hallmark Media’s Senior Vice President of Programming Samantha DiPippo said in a statement. “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.”
No official premiere date has been announced, but the show is expected to return with new episodes in 2026 (per Deadline).
Seasons 1-12 of When Calls the Heart are streaming on Hallmark+, and Seasons 8-12 are available on Peacock.
