When Calls the Heart has been captivating viewers for over a decade, so it didn’t come as much of a surprise that fans fell for Hope Valley: 1874, a prequel to the original show that aired earlier in the year. Starring Bethany Joy Lenz and Benjamin Ayres, this now-beloved series took fans back in time to the early days of Hope Valley and introduced Rebecca Clarke, a woman who makes a long journey with her daughter toward a better life, having purchased a boarding house in a new community she plans on calling home.
When she arrives at the boarding house, she discovers it’s nothing close to what was advertised, leaving her plans for their future shattered. However, with the help of Tom, a kind local rancher, Hattie, who owns the local trading post, and the support of her community, Rebecca gradually turns things around for her and her daughter—but not without a few bumps in the road.

‘Hope Valley: 1874’ Season 2 is coming!
Ahead of the show’s Season 1 finale, Hallmark announced that a second season of the exciting new frontier drama would be coming. “Hope Valley: 1874’s dream cast led by Bethany Joy Lenz, Benjamin Ayres and Jill Hennessy, has brought to life the rich characters and beautiful story crafted by showrunner Alfonso Moreno,” said Michelle Vicary, Head of Programming at Hallmark Media. “Our fans and press alike have enthusiastically embraced the series, making it especially rewarding to continue telling this story.”
Back in March, Bethany Joy Lenz got candid with Woman’s World about working on this show and its meaning. “I really hope that the simplicity of the world helps people remember all that they have and all that they can be grateful for, and really that the core of community is trust and relationships, connecting with each other, face to face, helping one another. Humanity doesn’t survive without those things. Civilization doesn’t survive without those things. That’s the core of what we need.”

Another storyline folks were invested in was Olivia’s, with viewers wondering whether she’d choose Alexander or Clayton. However, this all comes to a head when Alexander is forced to arrest Rebecca in front of everyone at the boarding house’s grand opening party, leaving almost everyone’s future unclear.
