The series, starring Erin Krakow, is one of several television series to receive a temporary contract from the actors' guild, following similar deals for Apple's Tehran and faith-based series The Chosen. This allows for the series' eleventh season to be filmed ahead of the start of season ten on Sunday, July 30.
SAG-AFTRA has now given 68 projects interim agreements to film during the strike, including films such as Glenn Close's The Summer Book and A24 films Mother Mary and I Dream Of Unicorns.
When Calls the Heart is inspired by the book of the same name by Janette Oke. It is a ratings hit for the channel.
It tells the story of Elizabeth Thatcher, played by Krakow, a young teacher, who moves to a small coal mining town in Western Canada. In season nine, Lucas Bouchard, played by Chris McNally, proposed to her with the help of her son Jack.
Pascale Hutton, Jack Wagner, Kavan Smith, Kevin McGarry, Andrea Brooks, Martin Cummins, Loretta Walsh, Amanda Wong, Johannah Newmarch, Viv Leacock, Natasha Burnett, Ben Rosenbaum, Hrothgar Mathews, Jaeda Lily Miller and Hyland Goodrich also star.
The series is produced by WCTH 10 Productions with Krakow, Susie Belzberg, Michael Shepard, Eric Jarboe, Jimmy Townsend, Brad Krevoy, Brian Bird, Michael Landon Jr., Vicki Sotheran and Greg Malcolm serving as executive producers.
