‘When Calls the Heart’ Star Pascale Hutton Shares Big Season 14 Update
Hope Valley is calling us home. When Calls the Heart wrapped up Season 13 back in March, and Hearties immediately looked ahead to Season 14. Hallmark Channel renewed the beloved series for a 4th season in December 2025. With so many off-screen milestones happening during the hiatus, fans have been wondering whether or not the show would have a longer break than usual.
On July 8, When Calls the Heart star Pascale Hutton shared an update on the status of Season 14. From what we know about the premiere to who’s returning, we’ve rounded up all the latest news about the upcoming season.
When is When Calls the Heart Season 14 coming out?
Hallmark hasn’t set a specific premiere date for When Calls the Heart Season 14, but we do know the show will return in 2027. When the network renewed the show, it was confirmed that When Calls the Heart would go into production in 2026 and return to our screens in 2027. For the past two seasons, the show has premiered in January.

Hutton revealed she was back on the When Calls the Heart set on July 8. She posted a video of her in a costume fitting. “We’re back at it! #season14 #wcth #hearties,” she captioned the Instagram video.
Which cast members are coming back for When Calls the Heart Season 14?
You can expect all of your favorite Hope Valley characters to return in Season 14. Cast members expected to come back include Erin Krakow as Elizabeth, Kevin McGarry as Nathan, Jack Wagner as Bill, Pascale Hutton as Rosemary, Kavan Smith as Lee, Viv Leacock as Joseph, Natasha Burnett as Minnie, Ben Rosenbaum as Mike, Angela Wong as Mei, Andrea Brooks as Faith, Martin Cummins as Henry, Jaeda Lily Miller as Allie, Hyland Goodrich as Little Jack, Loretta Walsh as Florence, Johannah Newmarch as Molly, and Hrothgar Mathews as Ned.
The Season 13 finale left Lucas and Edie’s future a bit open-ended. Edie (Miranda MacDougall) told Lucas (Chris McNally) she was heading to New York to do legal aid for a couple of months, and he wanted to join her. While they could come back to Hope Valley after their New York adventure, they could end up staying for longer than intended. Only time will tell!
During the hiatus, several WCTH stars have welcomed little ones. McGarry and Kayla Wallace, who plays Fiona, welcomed their first child. A few weeks later, Krakow and Rosenbaum announced the birth of their daughter. McNally and his wife, Julie Gonzalo, have also had their second child.
Will Lori Loughlin return for When Calls the Heart Season 14?
When Calls the Heart Season 14 will feature the return of a fan favorite character: Lori Loughlin‘s Abigail Stanton. When Hallmark renewed the show, the network also announced that Loughlin would be reprising her role. She also made a surprise cameo in the Season 13 finale.
“Since the series’ debut in 2014, the character of Abigail Stanton was a fan favorite and beloved by the Hearties,” Michelle Vicary, Head of Programming, Hallmark Media, said in a statement. “At its core, the Hallmark brand is about hope, positivity, and connection, which is also the central theme of When Calls the Heart. We felt that Season 14 was the right time to continue Abigail’s story with her return to this beloved series.”
Abigail was one of the original characters when the show premiered in 2014. The character was written off in Season 6 amid Loughlin’s involvement in the Operation Varsity Blues college admissions scandal.
In December 2025, Loughlin made a special appearance at the Hallmark Christmas Experience during a When Calls the Heart cast panel. “I just want to thank everyone at Hallmark for being so loving and so welcoming… And this just feels incredible. And I think — I mean, you guys all know it — we have such a special cast and such a special bond, and it’s just so nice to be back with my family,” she said.
On March 18, Loughlin attended a When Calls the Heart and Hope Valley: 1874 celebration event in Los Angeles. She joined Krakow, Wagner, Rosenbaum, and other members of her When Calls the Heart family.
What happened at the end of When Calls the Heart Season 13?
The Season 13 finale featured the moment we’ve all been waiting for — Nathan and Elizabeth’s engagement! The Coulters also had to say goodbye to Gwendolyn (Alex MacIsaac), the young girl they took in while her father recovered from the injuries he sustained in the fire.
In the final moments of the episode, Abigail could be seen arriving back in Hope Valley. When she stepped out of her car, she looked around and said, “It’s good to be home.”

Why is it tht When Calls The Heart plays for 3 months, and than has the season finale,and than we have to wait until next January until the new season. Why don't they have a whole season, where the new season starts in September, or November when all the shows start their new seasons, and than end in May, when all the other shows stop their seasons for summer? I hate waiting until next year.

I totally agree with you Vicki. It’s too long of a wait.

I really liked Elizabeth and Lucas. I think they were well matched. They both came from high society and shared love of the arts and the finer things in life. True both of them also resonated with Hope Valley.
I felt she had more in common with Lucas than Nathan. Does anyone else feel the same?

Stop marrying her off. Can she stick to one man? Lucas was the best

It is not for us to judge. Have you never made any mistakes in your life?

She did her time. If Hallmark executives decided that is enough and weighed the fact that she is beloved by audience that relates to great ratings, it is their business decision. Profits win the day! She is a great actor and a very relatable character. I welcome her return and wish her good luck. Can't wait for season 14.

Interesting how you say Lucas’s return is up in the air. He better be back in Hope Valley. Otherwise, I’m out. I have little to no interest in the Elizabeth and Nathan story. It’s the most boring, tired story. The proposal was just silly. Poor Kevin is afraid of heights. Instead of a sweet, romantic scene, he looked like a deer in the headlights. I felt so bad for him.

Totally agree! If Lucas does not return and have an incredible storyline being front & center, I’m out. I certainly do not tune in for Elizabeth & Nathan. Maybe they need to send them to the Northern Territories.

Not at all interested in Lucas. He’s the most boring, wooden, and expressionless character on the show.

That's how I feel about Nathan. We all like who we like.

I wish that Lori Loughlin wasn't returning because of her mail fraud, buying or giving money to get daughters as crew members at University of Southern California of which she should be banned as thought that was what the stations was going to do. No matter how popular she used to be she broke the law and should not be allowed at all on the station plus should be banned.

I am truly sorry that you have no forgiveness in your being I would hate to be that perfect.

I loved Lucas and Elizabeth. He represented the best of both worlds. Giving was/is his love language and he was the man who would have propelled Elizabeth to move forward. All I see with Nathan is Elizabeth living the life she once had with Jack. For me Nathan and Elizabeth have no chemistry. They look and act like an old married couple with no sparkle. This show has lost so much since the flip of S10.

I’m so excited for Nathan and Elizabeth’s wedding and hope it’s early to mid season. I’m looking forward to Abigail’s return as long as she doesn’t take time away from the leads. However Hallmark needs to stop adding new characters every season to an already bloated cast. We need Lindsay, Beth Stewart and Derek Thompson back in the writers room asap. Can’t stand Joy.

I am so happy that Lori Loughlin is coming back. We really missed her when she left. She is a sweetheart and a big part of the show. We have watched every season and I hope it keep making new seasons. It's the best program on TV. It is so heart felt and down to earth. We love all the characters and it is a wonderful example we should use in real life. The world needs this show more then ever. Love, kindness, generosity, forgiveness, and helping one another should be a good lesson for us all. Life is hard enough and coming together with love and acceptance regardless of what makes us different is not only a wonderful example but a lesson we could all benefit from. This show is incredible. Please keep it going. This show and all of it's characters deserve an Emmy for the #1 show on television. It just doesn't get any better then this. It is truly a Hallmark of creativity, perfection and an example of how we should help and treat one another in real life. I love this show. ♥️

I have to agree with some of the viewers that prefer Lucas and Elizabeth together. Although I like Nathan, there doesn't seem to be any chemistry between the two of them. And brining back Lori would be a mistake. Too bad we have to wait till 20027 to find out what happens to Little Jack. Great show, so refreshing to just get away from all of the drama of everything right now and simply enjoy a good few hours.

I love this show and hope it continues for many more seasons. I think Elizabeth and Nathan are totally boring together and wish she had stayed with Lucas. Now my thought for the future would be to throw a surprise and have Jack return. It could be done by him having had an altercation with Ally's father, wherein Ally's father took Jack's mounty uniform and was later killed impersonating Jack and is buried in Jack's grave and Jack, wearing Ally's father's clothes, was captured and was sentenced to prison. He has some minor amnesia from injuries sustained in the altercation but is released from prison and returns to Hope Valley before Elizabeth and Nathan marry. What a turn of events that would be. Jack was such a popular character and would love to have him back.

Not happy about Lori Loughlin returning. She is a felon
Keep her in the new WCTH show & let people pay to see her. Nice that the old cast loves her but should not be welcomed back

Lucas should have been written off the show at the end of S7. Lousy character, terrible actor.

Boy you’ve got quite the imagination. I’m so over Ghost Jack. Let him rest in peace. The actor chose to leave the show.

I think it is very sad that Hallmark got rid of Melissa Gilbert because of a problem going on in her life instead of supporting her on the show. I thought Hallmark was a family show that stood behind its actors.

I totally agree with you Vicki. It’s driving me crazy waiting for season 14 to start and now to find out we have to wait until 2027.
