Hearties Start Out 2025 With ‘WCTH’ Season 12 On Hallmark, ‘When Hope Calls’ S2 On GAF
Hearties have a lot to look forward to in January 2025. Hallmark has just announced that WCTH Season 12 is premiering on Sunday, January 5. In addition, in September, Great American Family announced that the remainder of When Hope Calls Season 2 started filming, and the WCTH spinoff will premiere early in 2025.
Here are all the details that these superfans need to know now.
WCTH Season 12 Premieres On January 5 On The Hallmark Channel
On Saturday, Hallmark announced that WCTH Season 12 is premiering on Sunday, January 5, at 9 p.m., Eastern, on the Hallmark Channel. This is the earliest that the network has ever premiered this series. Many Hearties wondered, but it seemed perfect that it is coming out around the same time as the When Calls The Heart spinoff, When Hope Calls, should premiere on Hallmark’s competitor, Great American Family.
Currently, there is no information on whether the WCTH episodes will air on Peacock. In addition, the network did not share whether they will add new episodes on the rebranded streaming channel, Hallmark+. That information is forthcoming.

When Hope Calls Season 2 Is Set To Premiere In January
Back on September 19, Hearties got a big surprise when Great American Family announced that the WCTH spinoff When Hope Calls was returning for Season 2. Originally, this was a Hallmark series. However, they did not renew it for Season 2. Two years ago, GAF brought it back for a two-part Christmas special. But, they did not finish the once-promised Season 2. But, now it is on. What is this about?
According to People Magazine, this is “an offshoot “based on Janette Oke’s beloved When Calls The Heart faith-based book series. Originally, this was about two orphaned sisters Lilian Walsh (Megan Kohan) and Garace Bennett (Jocelyn Hudon) who are reunited and start an orphanage in Brookfield. However, after Season 1, only Kohan returned for the two episodes, along with two faces familiar to Hearties: Lori Loughlin and Daniel Lissing.
Although Loughlin and Lissing are not part of the current filming, there are some familiar faces returning. Firstly, Morgan Kohan was returning as Lillian Walsh, as well as RJ Hatanaka as Mountie Gabriel, Wendy Crewson as Tess Steward, and Henneke Talbot as Maggie Parsons.
Furthermore, GAF added some well-known romcom actors to the series. That includes Cindy Busby as Nora, Christopher Russell as Mountie Michale, and Nate Bateman as Wyatt. Even Trevor Donovan will be guest starring as Constable Jim Reynolds, a part that could be extended.
Although GAF has not announced a premiere date, there should be one soon. They did state that this is slated to be a winter release, with the possibility of a January premiere date. But, it is not clear if this will air on Saturday nights or like When Calls The Heart, on Sunday nights. But, it will also be available on Great American Pure Flix, the network’s streaming channel.
