We shared everything we know so far about Heartland season 17, as of Monday, Sept. 11, 2023. We’ll continue to up this story as we learn more information about the new season of the series.

Heartland has a massive cast! There are few shows on TV right now with a cast this big. Obviously, we don’t see all the cast in every episode, but we do see characters come and go throughout the season.

How many episodes are in Heartland season 17?
As far as we could tell, CBC hasn’t officially announced the episode count for Heartland season 17. Over the 16 seasons, the episode count has varied. Season 16 consisted of 15 episodes, while the more recent seasons before season 16 were 10 episodes. At one point, Heartland was rolling out 18 episode seasons.
We’ve probably seen the last days of the 18-episode season, in my opinion. It’s much more likely we’ll see season 17 with 10 or 12 episodes. If we’re lucky, we could see 15 or 16 episodes of Heartland season 17.
How many seasons of Heartland are there?
So far, there have been 16 seasons of Heartland and 249 episodes. When the show returns for the season 17 premiere, it will be the 250th episode of the series. It’s also the longest-running one-hour drama in Canadian TV history. What an honor for a great show!
Where to watch Heartland season 16
Heartland season 15 was added to Netflix US in May 2023. Unfortunately, Heartland season 16 is not available to stream on Netflix US yet. While we anticipate it will be on Netflix soon, you’ll have to look elsewhere to watch Heartland season 16 before season 17 premieres.
Heartland season 16 is available exclusively through UP Faith and Family right now. You can subscribe to the streaming service and watch all 15 episodes of Heartland season 16 before the Heartland season 17 premiere.
Why isn’t Heartland season 16 on Netflix?
New seasons of Heartland used to come to Netflix US more frequently, but now, UP Faith and Family has a deal with CBC to exclusively stream new seasons of the series for a limited time. It’s hard to say how long the deal lasts that keeps Heartland season 16 off Netflix and on Up Faith and Family.
When is Heartland season 16 on Netflix?
It looks like Heartland season 15 was added to Netflix about 18 months after the season ended. We have to assume that will happen with Heartland season 16, as well, unless Netflix can work out a deal to stream the new series, as well.
Season 16 ended in February 2023. If we really have to wait 18 months to watch Heartland season 16 on Netflix, we’ll probably be waiting until about August 2024 or sometime in the late summer or early fall of 2024.
Is Heartland based on a book?
Yes, well, lots of books! Heartland is based on the popular book series of the same name written by Lauren Brooke. There are 25 books (25 BOOKS!) in the series published between 2000 and 2008. And, George R.R. Martin can’t finish one book in more than a decade.
That’s a joke. Please don’t freak out.
Will there be a Heartland season 17?
We have good news about Heartland season 17! Yes, Heartland season 17 is happening. CBC officially announced the Heartland season 17 renewal on its Facebook page in May 2023.
This is obviously a huge relief for fans who were worried the show would be ending. I don’t think Heartland is ending anytime soon. This show is a powerhouse!
Will there be a Heartland season 18?
So far, CBC has not renewed Heartland for season 18, but it’s still really early. Typically, new seasons of Heartland are announced in the spring, so we’ll probably have to wait until then to learn if the show is continuing or not.
Right now, though, fans do not have anything to worry about when it comes to Heartland ending. There’s no way this show, at the height of its popularity, will be canceled. Heartland season 18 should definitely happen on CBC.
