Hope Valley Welcomes Back Familiar Faces in “When Calls the Heart” Season 13

Hope Valley is set to bloom again as “When Calls the Heart” returns for its 13th season on January 4th at 8 p.m. ET/PT on the Hallmark Channel. Following the dramatic events of season 12, Elizabeth (Erin Krakow), Nathan (Kevin McGarry), Little Jack, and Allie are making their triumphant return after seeking treatment for Little Jack’s diabetes.

“We start season 13 with some very renewed hope,” Krakow told PEOPLE. Viewers can expect to see the family settling into a new normal, made possible by the historical context of 1921 when insulin was created.

The new season promises to blend heartwarming storylines with historical touches, including the introduction of a stoplight to Hope Valley and the arrival of a motion picture company. But it’s not all progress, as Krakow assures viewers that “Hope Valley is still staying true to its roots.”

Adding a dash of humor and intrigue, Nathan will be sporting a new mustache. “Kevin can’t get enough of that thing,” Krakow joked, assuring fans that Elizabeth is supportive of Nathan’s facial hair choices.

Brooke Shields will reprise her role as Charlotte Thornton, Elizabeth’s late husband’s mother. This season will explore the evolving dynamic between Charlotte and Nathan. “Nathan is working overtime to impress Charlotte,” Krakow teased, promising meaningful moments and Easter eggs for longtime fans.

With a 14th season already greenlit, Krakow expressed her gratitude to Hallmark and the show’s loyal fans, the “Hearties,” for their continued support. “This set and this community of people is such a happy place for me.”
