Heartland is a Canadian family drama television series which debuted in Canada on CBC Television and originally in the United States through broadcast syndication on October 14, 2007, where it continues to air, along with multiple other networks and streaming services.

Contents

The series is based on the Heartland book series by Lauren Brooke. It follows Amy Fleming and her older sister Louise "Lou" Fleming on their family ranch, 'Heartland', in Alberta. They live there with their widowed grandfather Jack Bartlett (played by Shaun Johnston), their father Tim Fleming, and hired farmhand Ty Borden. While dealing with the highs and lows of life on the ranch, the family bonds and grows closer.

With the airing of its 125th episode on October 19, 2014, Heartland surpassed Street Legal as the longest-running one-hour scripted drama in Canadian television history. [1]

On June 1, 2022, CBC renewed the series for a 15-episode sixteenth season, premiered in Canada on October 2, 2022. [2] In May 2023, the series was renewed for a 10-episode seventeenth season, which premiered in Canada on October 1, 2023. [3]

In May 2024, the series was renewed for an eighteenth season, which immediately began filming thereafter. [4] It premiered in Canada in the fall of 2024, and is set to premiere in the United States later in 2025. The decision to continue on with the series was announced by the CBC so that the family drama Heartland will be renewed for a 19th season. Filming began for this in May 2025.[ citation needed ]

In the United States, the series has wide distribution through broadcast syndication on weekends, including as part of the default national schedule for Up TV and The CW Plus and new episodes become available as of 2021, on Up Faith & Family, the network's streaming service months after full seasons finish their runs in Canada and later premiere in the United States linearly on the main network and all later seasons are exclusive to Up Faith & family first before they are available for syndication on other American networks and streaming services unaffiliated with UP tv or its sister networks. Reruns of older episodes air on Hulu, Pluto TV, Crackle, Tubi, BYUtv, Retro TV, COZI TV, and Heartland (a coincidental brand unrelated to the show itself). It was also part of the schedule on Light TV until it was rebranded as TheGrio TV on January 15, 2021. Heartland also began airing on Hallmark Channel in January 2025. The show is also available on Netflix and various other streaming platforms in the United States.

Cast and characters

Main

Supporting

Caleb is a ranch hand hired by Jack after Ty leaves for four months. In the beginning he is rather husky, has feelings for Amy, and develops a strong rivalry with Ty. He and Amy have a short-lived relationship, but Amy soon goes back to Ty. He falls in love with Ashley Stanton, eventually marrying her. Caleb is a rodeo cowboy. Before marrying Ashley, Caleb is severely injured at a rodeo. After battling prescription drugs and alcohol, much like Tim's, he recovers but is much thinner. Caleb and Ashley have a difficult marriage, struggling with financial problems, pressure from Val Stanton (Ashley's mother), and differing life goals. Caleb and Ashley eloped, but after discovering that their officiator's license had expired, they have a wedding outside Caleb's trailer (where they had been living). They honeymoon in Italy and stay with one of Val's friends, but Caleb returns alone. Ashley eventually returns and decides to pursue postsecondary education in Vancouver. Caleb moves there to be with Ashley, but they drift apart as she makes new friends and spends more time away from Caleb. They eventually divorce, and Caleb returns to Hudson and resumes working at Heartland, while seasonally competing at the rodeo. After Ashley, Caleb pursues Lou's friend Nicole (who had moved from New York and works for Lou at the ranch). He has a relationship with Cassandra, who was a vet student working at Scott's clinic. Caleb and Cass have a pregnancy scare. They almost break up, but marry at the end of Season 10. Ty and Amy were to attend, but Amy went into labour just as they arrived, and they had to rush home. Caleb and Cassandra discover they are expecting in Season 13 ('The Art of Trust'). Cassandra gives birth to their son, Carson, sometime between the Season 13 finale and the Season 14 premiere.
Peter is Lou's ex-husband. He was first introduced as PW, the owner of a small oil company called Bedford Oil that is caught drilling on Heartland property. Lou organized a protest against PW's company. In the meantime, one of Lisa's horse friends gives out Lou's email without her permission. Lou (using her first name, Sam) and PW (using his first name, Peter) begin a relationship over an instant messaging service. After meeting, they are shocked to discover each other's identity. Their relationship is kept secret because both Jack and Tim hate PW for being part of "Big Oil." Peter eventually wins the family's approval and he and Lou are married in the Season 3 finale. Peter's business immediately takes them to Dubai. Lou returns home for a one-week visit that stretches on because she misses Heartland and her family. Peter commutes to and from Dubai because Lou is expecting their first child. Peter ends up bankrupt in Dubai, and asks to move in with Lou at Jack's house. Peter recovers financially, but is only home on weekends due to his new job's location in Vancouver. In Season 7, Lou and Peter adopt Georgie after Jack is not approved as her legal guardian. Lou and Peter separate because Peter is always away in Vancouver. Peter is discovered to have a girlfriend in Vancouver, which causes Lou to end the relationship. Peter continues visiting Heartland to see his daughters.

Lisa is the charismatic owner of Fairfield Stables (established in 1951, as per signage on the estate) and is a well-known racehorse breeder. She is introduced in the series' third episode when Scott recommends Amy's help in assisting with a troubled horse named Promise. Amy refers to Lisa's thoroughbreds as being "famous", indicating the Stillman name is renown in Fairfield. Lisa later begins a romantic relationship with Jack. During that first meeting, Lisa mentions she is looking after her nephew, Ben (Beau Michorff), as her sister Tammy has just been through a "nasty divorce". Lisa explains that she never liked Tammy's taste in men, and this led to an unfortunate estrangement when Tammy eloped with a man Lisa believed was only after the family money. Lisa expresses her deep regret that this broken relationship has never been mended.
In season 4, Lisa tells Lou she got married in a "whirlwind" to a man named Dan Hartfield, and moved to the Midwest U.S. In that conversation, Lisa reveals she was later obliged to return to Fairfield to care for her father when he fell sick. After the senior Stillman passed away, Lisa realized she had missed Fairfield more than she missed Dan, which eventually led to their divorce. Lisa has an aunt named Evelyn (portrayed by Kate Trotter), who is apparently wealthy, enjoys travelling, and is known to buy unusual and often impractical gifts for everyone. On a visit to Heartland, she was openly critical of Jack and Lisa's relationship. During the season, Lisa and a pregnant Lou have a dispute over how the Dude Ranch business should be run once Lou gives birth, with the latter discounting the former's advice to hire extra help. Lisa admits that she did think she would have children when she was married to Dan, but that "it didn't happen", an indication the couple experienced fertility issues and/or pregnancy loss. This eventually leads to Lou and Peter asking Lisa to be godmother to their soon-to-be-born child (Katie), and Lisa accepts. (Apocryphally, she is Georgie's godmother as well, a detail revealed only in an entry of Lou's Mom's the Word blog—an extra feature offered by the series interactive media department—but has not been explicitly mentioned in-series. The Mom's the Word blog site is now defunct.)
Lisa is often in the south of France seasonally for work, and her jet-set lifestyle becomes a difficulty in her relationship with Jack. They remain together until season 6, where they break up after he visits her in France. By the end of season 6, Lisa is back in France, but writes to Jack, expressing a desire to reconcile. Jack suffers a heart attack the very evening he receives the letter. In season 7, Lisa returned to Hudson to take care of Jack when he was convalescing after his heart attack. The two still have feelings for each other, and during an ill-fated trip to Montana, the two rekindle their romance.
At the end of season 7, Jack proposes to Lisa with his grandmother's wedding ring, and they elope at the Dude Ranch. Tim crashes the simple ceremony, and insists on being Jack's best man. Following the elopement, they decide to continue living separately. Lisa chooses not to change her name to 'Bartlett', and Jack chooses not to wear a wedding ring. In season 11, it is revealed that Lisa's business is floundering as she struggles to keep Fairfield running and all her staff employed, a fact she initially hides from Jack. She eventually admits her problems and asks to move in with him at Heartland, to which he readily agrees.
Catherine "Katie" Marion Minnie Fleming Morris is Lou and Peter's only biological daughter, born in episode 67, "Passages." As an infant, the family took a large amount of time getting her to sleep through the night, and an episode featured this difficulty. Mallory is often brought in to babysit, since she's often at Heartland anyway, and interested in earning extra cash. In Season 7, Katie often cries at night for Lou, who is in the Atlantic provinces on a tour for her book, "Mom's the Word." Katie also starts bed-wetting, presumably for the same reason. As a result, Peter and Katie eventually join Lou on her book tour. Later in the series, Lou worries that Katie is not progressing as she should, taking her to see a pediatrician to check for abnormalities. This causes friction between Lou and Peter, as he believes that Katie is fine, which turns out to be the case. As of Season 10, Katie is a young, energetic girl who enjoys spending time with her family, especially her adoptive older sister Georgie and her great-grandfather. She has a favorite stuffed toy pony, called "Pogy." As a baby, Katie was played by twin sisters Keira and Jordan, and between Season 8 and Season 11, Katie was portrayed by Julia Maren Baker, who was replaced by Ziya Matheson in Season 12. Yet another change took place at the beginning of season 15 when the character was taken over by Baye McPherson.
Luke is a troubled foster kid that Clint brings to Heartland hoping Amy and Ty could help him. Over time and despite some difficulties, he becomes a part of the family. After his biological mother realizes she should not have custody of him, it is decided it is in the boy's best interest to remain at Heartland. In season 13 Amy and Ty become his foster parents.

Georgie is Lou and Peter's adopted daughter who was orphaned at age 3. After the foster care system separated her and her brother, Jeff, Georgie developed serious behavioral problems, though her behavior gradually improves. Georgie, a natural equestrian and a tomboy, is fearless, talented, strong-minded, and clever. This initially makes Mallory, a young family friend, jealous. Georgie grows close to the family but occasionally misbehaves, even running away once. In later seasons, Georgie joins the Extreme Team, a trick riding group, replacing show jumping as Georgie's main equestrian activity. She develops romantic feelings for Adam Parker, her tutor. Georgie and Adam briefly date but break up when Adam thinks she has feelings for Clay McMurtry. By seasons 14 and 15, she is in a relationship with newcomer Quinn. He encourages Georgie to revive her dream of competing in the Olympics. She begins training at his family's Florida ranch. Although billed as "main cast" during this time, Georgie later becomes more of a "recurring character" due to her infrequent visits back to Heartland. She was absent for all of season 15 and much of 16 after Newton left the main cast for nearly two seasons to pursue other acting opportunities. She returned for the last two episodes of season 16. Early on in season 16, Georgie gets into a riding accident during one of the competitions off screen that lead her to be nearly paralyzed. She returned to the ranch on screen at the end of season 16, after her character made a physical recovery to deal with the trauma of her accident.


She is Jade's mother. Although she arrived in Heartland as a tourist, Lou soon requested her help to tend to Jack, in exchange for riding lessons. While Tim offers to be an instructor, they eventually end up having a brief love affair.
Mitch is hired as a ranch hand at Heartland and works hard to earn the family's respect, especially with Jack and Tim. After much hostility, Tim nicknames Mitch "Trooper" after a tenacious but respectable bronc on the circuit. Following an awkward first "date," Mitch and Lou enter into an off-and-on relationship. Mitch is troubled by guilt due to the loss of his cousin to PTSD but confides in Lou and they earn each other's trust. Following a breakup with Lou, Mitch begins dating "new age" yoga instructor Maya which forces Lou to confront her true feelings for him.
Bob runs a wildlife reserve.
Adam is Georgie's math tutor and becomes her first serious boyfriend.
Olivia is Georgie's rival throughout the series but later becomes her friend.
Jade is Georgie's friend and Dr. Virani's daughter. She is a bronc rider and lives in Caleb's old trailer for a time to assert her independence. Tim is doubtful of Jade at first but grows to respect her tenacity and talent.
Introduced as one of Ty's classmates at veterinarian school, Cassandra ends up working at the vet clinic with Ty. She initially appears to be an ambitious and arrogant know-it-all, which makes Amy uncomfortable. She is romantically involved with Jeremy Hughes until he sabotages Heartland, after which she is fired from the vet clinic and forced to take a job at the dude ranch, to which she is ill-suited. Scott convinces a reluctant Ty to give Cass another chance at their understaffed clinic, where she eventually becomes a good friend to Amy and Ty. She and Caleb wind up in a long-term relationship and are married in the final episode of season 10. And in season 13 episode 7 Cassandra tells Caleb that she's pregnant with their first child. [5] Between Seasons 13 and 14, Cassandra gives birth to her son, Carson.
Amy's best friend who works at Maggie's, her mom's diner. Soraya always supports Amy and becomes friends with Ashley around the same time as Amy. She later visits London, England and meets a new boyfriend. In Season 5, Soraya moves to London permanently. She briefly returns at the end of season 8 to attend Amy and Ty's wedding at the Heartland Ranch.
Ashley and Jesse's widowed mother, and the main antagonist throughout much of the series. Val is the proud owner of Briar Ridge Stables and uses more traditional methods of horse training compared to Heartland. Val puts too much pressure on Ashley to win horse shows, but loves and spoils her daughter. She is also friends with Jack, particularly when Jack helps her to work on her relationship with her daughter, after Ashley becomes more independent and rebellious.
A long-time family friend of the Fleming/Bartlett family who owns Sugarfoot, a cute Shetland pony whom Lou learned to ride on. Mrs. Bell keeps Sugarfoot in her house as a companion, and prefers using her herbal remedies on him rather than having him cared for by Scott or the farrier. Mrs. Bell made Marion's and Amy's wedding dresses. Her last appearance to date was Amy and Ty's wedding.
Jessica is Lou's former Strickland & Cook boss from New York. She comes to Hudson to meet with Lou to apologize for firing her back in Season 1. Lou had formerly been deeply resentful of the firing, believing Jessica to be cutthroat and brutal in her business life. Jessica, however, reveals she recently went through a bout with cancer. As a result, she turned over a new leaf, quit the firm, and decided to travel and indulge in her hobbies, one of which is photography. Her stay in Hudson goes longer than anticipated, leading to sparks flying between her and Tim.

Guest or former cast

Main

A friend of the family who visited frequently and often stayed overnight, Mallory is the daughter of a Canadian country music artist (real-life Canadian country music artist George Canyon), whose music she finds annoying, and is hired by Lou to babysit Katie on a regular basis. She was mostly known for talking too much and prying into everyone's personal lives, which often got her into trouble. Mallory rides the horses at Heartland and participates in jumping competitions. She is easily infatuated with boys, and has a crush on Ty early in the series, though her main love interests wind up being Jake Anderson and Badger. Mallory leaves Heartland several times, most significantly to attend an all-girls boarding school to which she is sent by her parents when her father goes on tour the first time. Jake helps her buy a bus ticket and return to Heartland. At the end of Season 5, she announced with dismay that she was moving to Nashville for her father's music career, though she and her family returned to Canada in season 6. In season 7, she finally confessed her feelings for Jake and went with him to Paris. In season 10, episode 14, Mallory came back to Heartland and married him.
In season 1, she fulfilled the archetype of the high-school mean girl, but after Amy helps Ashley improve her show-jumping and later saves her horse Apollo, Ashley warms up to Amy and her best friend Soraya. Ashley's character develops substantially from this point, and she is shown to struggle in her relationship with her mother. As a result, she lives at Heartland for a short period of time and later stays with Caleb, in his rented trailer. Ashley gradually falls for Caleb in Season 2 and starts a serious relationship with him, and they marry in the season 3 finale. It took Ashley a while to come back from their honeymoon in Italy, resulting in Caleb coming home alone. Later in the series, Ashley and Caleb moved away so she could attend college. Caleb returned alone again, and they eventually got a divorce. In season 7, episode nine, she comes back to see her friends. She's now becoming a lawyer.
  • Nathaniel Arcand as Scott Cardinal (Recurring seasons 1–8, 10–11; guest seasons 9, 15–16)
A close Native Canadian friend of the Bartlett/Fleming household and also Heartland's vet. Scott had a troubled background, but Marion helped him turn his life around. Scott and Lou have a relationship for the first two seasons. He later regrets losing her and for not trying harder to win her back. In season 2, Ty tells Amy that Scott has agreed to let Ty be his apprentice and that Scott will mentor him to possibly work with him after veterinary school. Ty eventually attends veterinary school at the University of Calgary, and works part-time at Scott's clinic in later seasons. He is also joined by Cassandra, another U.o.C vet student who is a year or two ahead of Ty. Scott later offers Ty to be his partner in the clinic.
  • Graham Wardle as Tyler "Ty" Borden (Main seasons 1–14; guest seasons 15–16)

When Ty was a child, he was abused by his stepfather Wade, whom he attacked for assaulting Ty's mother. The incident resulted in Ty's arrest and being sent to juvenile hall; to complete his probation, Marion Fleming offered him a job as a ranch hand at Heartland. He soon begins to enjoy his life there and decides to stay after completing his probation, though he leaves for a short period to live with his biological father in Calgary. Jack treats Ty like a son and is very proud of him, especially after he earns his high school diploma and decides to study to become a vet. Ty at first is known as the "new cute guy" by Amy's friends, and Amy quickly falls for him. Ty dated Kit Bailey, a local cowgirl, for a time before he admitted his feelings for Amy. He and Amy have a tumultuous relationship over the subsequent seasons. In the season 5 finale, Ty buys a ring with plans to propose to Amy, but rethinks his proposal after hearing Amy say they should never "tie themselves down." When Amy discovers the ring, Ty and Amy agree to wait, and Ty is accepted to vet school and begins assisting Scott at his clinic. While camping, Ty finds the perfect moment to propose to Amy, who accepts, and they later marry. After Amy tells Ty that he is going to become a father, she supports his decision to go to Mongolia to save the last of the Gobi bears with Veterinarians Without Borders. Near the end of the season 10, Ty contracts a potentially life-threatening illness from a tick bite and returns to Calgary in critical condition. Later, Caleb breaks Ty out of the hospital so that he can be the best man at Caleb & Cass's wedding. However, Amy goes into labor as they arrive at the church and they rush home for the birth of their daughter. In season 13, Amy and Ty become foster parents to a young boy named Luke, and towards the end of the season, both are shot by a poacher. In the season 14 premiere, it is revealed that though Amy survived, Ty suddenly collapsed and dies from deep vein thrombosis, a complication arising after being shot.
