"Heartland", the longest-running Canadian drama, has set a time and (slightly new) place for the U.S. release of its 17th season.
TVLine has learned exclusively that Season 17 will premiere Stateside on Thursday, April 25, on the commercial-free subscription streaming service UP Faith & Family, which already hosts the first 16 seasons.
New episodes will release weekly, with a three-week break after Episode 5 — though during that brief hiatus, UP Faith & Family will roll out all-new exclusive content for fans .
UP Faith & Family will be the exclusive U.S. streaming home for "Heartland" until early 2025; a linear premiere date on UPtv, where episodes previously made their U.S. debut, has not yet been set.
“Fans of Heartland know that UP Faith & Family continues to be the exclusive home of the newest season and the first place to see all episodes of their favorite series here in the U.S.,” says Hector Campos, SVP content strategy and programming at UP Entertainment.
“We are also big fans of the series ourselves, and this season we are thrilled to celebrate Heartland with the first ever FanFest allowing exclusive access to talent.”
A virtual event, Heartland FanFest, will be held on April 15 from 2-3 pm ET and invite fans to submit questions via social media for cast members to answer live. (Amber Marshall, Michelle Morgan and Chris Potter are among the cast expected to appear.)
Participants will also get a sneak peek at an upcoming episode. FanFest will be recorded and available exclusively to UP Faith & Family subscribers during the aforementioned three-week hiatus; those wishing to attend live can register online at HeartlandFanFest.com.
