Melissa Gilbert is set to guest star in a two-episode arc on Season 12 of the long-running series "When Calls the Heart", set to premiere on the Hallmark Channel next year.

The news was shared with those who gathered at the show’s annual Hearties Family Reunion fan event in Vancouver, Canada.

Gilbert will portray Georgie McGill, who “shares a surprising past with one special Hope Valley resident,” per the announcement description.

The opportunity to join the series arose through executive producer Michael Landon Jr., who connected with the veteran actress at the Little House on the Prairie 50th Anniversary Cast Reunion and Festival held earlier this year.

“When Calls the Heart has long drawn comparisons to Little House on the Prairie, for its charming and compelling stories of hope, human connection and frontier survival,” said Kelly Garrett, vice president of Hallmark Media programming.

“It was only fitting that the first people to hear this special news were the Hearties — devoted fans who have celebrated the show year after year and made it such a success. The energy being here with them to share this news is electric and we cannot wait for them to meet Georgie next year.”
