12 Shows Like ‘When Calls the Heart’ to Watch While You Wait for Season 11 in 2024
Good news, Hearties. When Calls the Heart Season 11 is coming to Hallmark Channel in 2024. But while new episodes are in the works, it will still be months until we get a resolution to that season-ending cliffhanger. Whether you’re eager to see what’s next for Elizabeth and Nathan or are still mourning the end of her relationship with Lucas, the show’s next season will surely be a much-watch. In the meantime, fans craving more Hope Valley moments might enjoy these 12 shows (plus one movie series) that are available to watch on Netflix, Prime Video, and other streaming services.
‘When Hope Calls’
The When Calls the Heart spinoff When Hope Calls is definitely a must-watch show for Hearties. It follows sister Lillian (Morgan Kohan) and Grace (Jocelyn Hudon) as they set up an orphanage in the town of Brookfield. Hope Valley residents occasionally pop up in the show, including Mountie Nathan Grant (Kevin McGarry) and Rosemary Coulter (Pascale Hutton). Fired When Calls the Heart star Lori Loughlin also appeared in the show’s 2021 Christmas special.
When Hope Calls Season 1 is streaming on Hallmark Movie Now. When Hope Calls: A Country Christmas is streaming on Prime Video’s Freevee service.
‘Call the Midwife’
A group of nuns and midwives care for the residents of an impoverished London neighborhood in the BBC series Call the Midwife, which airs on PBS in the U.S. It’s inspired by the real life of Jennifer Worth, who worked as a midwife in the East End in the 1950s. The show, which is heading into its 13th season, is grittier than When Calls the Heart, but it never fails to deliver heartwarming moments (and plenty of tears).
Call the Midwife Seasons 1-12 are streaming on Netflix.
‘All Creatures Great and Small’
In When Calls the Heart, a young woman from the big city has to adjust to life in a small town. The dynamic is similar in All Creatures Great and Small. Recently graduated vet James Herriot (Nicholas Ralph) moves from Glasgow to the Yorkshire village of Darrowby, where he has to get used to the quirks of rural life. This wholesome and cozy show mixes animal-focused drama, humor, and romance to deliver a delightful escape.
All Creatures Great and Small Seasons 1-3 are streaming on PBS Passport and the Masterpiece Channel on Prime Video. Season 4 premieres January 7, 2024, on PBS.
‘Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman’
Jane Seymour charmed audiences as Michaela “Mike” Quinn, a doctor who sets up a practice in a frontier town in Colorado in the years after the Civil War. But she has to work to win the trust of her new community, who are skeptical of the idea of a female doctor. Eventually, she adopts three orphaned children and finds love with rugged mountain man Bryon Sully (Joe Lando).
Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman Seasons 1-6 are streaming on Prime Video’s Freevee service.
‘Heartland’
A woman returns to her grandfather’s ranch after a tragedy in Heartland, a show that’s perfect for the whole family to watch together. This enduring family saga set in the picturesque Canadian Rockies is one of the most popular and longest-running shows on Canadian television. The show’s 17th season is currently airing on CBC, which means there are more than enough episodes to keep you entertained until When Calls the Heart returns.
Heartland Seasons 1-16 are streaming on UP Faith & Family. Seasons 1-15 are streaming on Netflix.
‘The Paradise’
The Paradise follows Denise (Joanna Vanderham), a young Scottish woman, as she moves to from her small hometown to the city, where she lands a job at the U.K.’s first department store.

The Paradise Seasons 1 and 2 are streaming on Prime Video and BritBox.
‘Anne With an E’
Netflix’s adaptation of L.M. Montgomery’s beloved book Anne of Green Gables featured some modern tweaks that didn’t please purists, but that didn’t stop Anne With an E from developing a loyal fanbase. The show follows Anne Shirley (Amybeth McNulty), who moves to a farm near Avonlea on Prince Edward Island when she is adopted by an elderly brother and sister – who were expecting a boy.
Anne With an E Seasons 1-3 are streaming on Netflix.
‘The Way Home’
Hallmark’s first new original series in several years is a multi-generational story of three women dealing with the lasting effects of a family tragedy. Thanks to the magic of time travel, rebellious teen Alice (Sadie Laflamme-Snow) and her mom Kat (Chyler Leigh) begin to unravel the mystery of what really happened to Kat’s younger brother Jacob (Remy Smith), who vanished two decades earlier.
The Way Home Season 1 is streaming on Hallmark Movies Now and Peacock. Hallmark has renewed the show for season 2.
‘Little House on the Prairie’
Little House on the Praire doesn’t just share a frontier setting with When Calls the Heart. The latter show is produced by Michael Landon Jr., the son of Michael Landon, who played Charles “Pa” Ingalls on Little House on the Prairie. Landon Jr. has even said that the beloved series from the 1970s was an influence on When Calls the Heart. He hoped it would be one that the entire family could sit down and watch together.
Little House on the Prairie Seasons 1-9 are streaming on Prime Video’s Freevee service and Peacock.
‘Touched by an Angel’
When Calls the Heart executive producer Brian Bird had a hand in Touched by an Angel. The show, which ran for nine seasons on CBS from 1994 to 2003, stars Roma Downey as an angel named Monica who shares guidance and messages from God with people on Earth. Della Reese plays Monica’s supervisor, Tess.

The ‘Love Comes Softly’ movie series
