Hallmark’s new When Calls the Heart prequel series Hope Valley: 1874 is coming to Canada! The series is set to premiere here on W Network on Sunday, March 22, one day after its US debut on Hallmark+. Bethany Joy Lenz, Benjamin Ayres, Jill Hennessy, Lachlan Quarmby, Roan Curtis, Chelsea Hobbs, Brad Abramenko, Jedidiah Goodacre and Mila Morgan all star in the eight-episode series set in the early days of the settlement that would later become Hope Valley.
From Hallmark’s press release:
Lenz portrays Rebecca Clarke, who travels from Chicago to the Western Canadian frontier with her 11-year-old daughter. But when her wagon breaks down, she has no choice but to accept help from local rancher and confirmed bachelor, Tom Moore (Ayres). Despite Rebecca’s best intentions to remain unattached, the future she dreams of for her and her daughter, along with the people she meets in this fledgling town – including the guarded Tom and tenacious pioneer woman Hattie Quinn (Hennessy) – ultimately compel her to put down roots and make a fresh start. Curtis plays Hattie’s daughter, Olivia, and Quarmby takes on the role of Constable Alexander Vaughn, one of the first members of the newly created Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
