When Calls The Heart Season 11 Filming Now

Although there are currently SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes When Calls The Heart got a special waiver to film from the actor’s union.

This waiver was granted because this is a small, independent production company. Also, it is likely because most of the cast is Canadian, and although the ACTRA, the Canadian actor’s union, is supporting the American actors striking, they are currently not on strike.

Therefore, they have been filming Season 11 of WCTH in the Vancouver area now. They are also sharing the cast watching episodes together, something that rarely happens during a season. That is because most seasons air in the spring, and they usually start filming in late summer.

Meanwhile, the next episode of When Calls The Heart Season 10 premieres on Sunday, August 6, at 9 p.m., Eastern, on the Hallmark Channel. This episode is the milestone 100th episode of the series entitled, “Hope Springs Eternal.”

There are several ways to now watch WCTH. Firstly, on the Hallmark Channel premiere night, and the Friday after, at 9 a.m., Eastern. Next, new episodes are available to stream on Peacock up to 72 hours after the premiere. Lastly, new episodes pop up on Hallmark Movies Now every Thursday.

Hearties, how do you watch your favorites in Hope Valley? On the Hallmark Channel, Peacock, or HMM?
