Hearties are ready to head back to Hope Valley. But when will they get to see new episodes of When Calls the Heart? Hallmark Channel hasn’t announced a season 10 premiere date, but it will likely be at least a couple of months before the show returns.

Recent seasons of When Calls the Heart have premiered in February or March. When Hallmark renewed the show for a landmark 10th season last year, most fans anticipated a similar return date in 2023. But then the network revealed that it was switching things up. 

When Calls the Heart Season 10 is set to premiere in mid-2023, Lisa Hamilton Daly, Hallmark Media’s executive vice president, programming, said at the Television Critics Association Summer Press Tour (via TV Insider). However, the network has not confirmed exactly when the show will return.

‘The Way Home’ is currently airing on Hallmark Channel  

One reason why the When Calls the Heart return date has been pushed back? Hallmark is currently airing a new show in the Sunday evening timeslot usually occupied by WCTH. 

The Way Home is a family drama with a time-travel twist that stars Andie MacDowell, Chyler Leigh, and Sadie Laflamme-Snow. It premiered in early January and has so far proved to be popular with viewers. The first episode was the second most-watched entertainment cable program of the night, reaching 2.4 million total viewers. Episode 2 was the most-watched cable entertainment program of the night, according to the network. 

Hallmark hasn’t confirmed how many episodes the first season of The Way Home will have. But many of the network’s original series have 10-episode seasons. If that’s the case for The Way Home, season 1 would wrap up in late March and When Calls the Heart could premiere at the end of that month or in early April. But given that the network has teased a mid-2023 return, it sounds like Hearties might have to wait even longer for new episodes – perhaps until the summer.
