U.S. Premiere of Heartland Season. 15 to Debut on UP Faith & Family March 17

“The fandom around Heartland is remarkable,” said Angela Cannon, vice president and channel manager, UP Faith & Family. “Fans know that UP Faith & Family is truly the U.S. home for all things Heartland, and it is an honor and privilege to bring Heartland viewers the newest seasons of this fan-favorite series months before anyone else.

Heartland, the longest-running one-hour drama in Canadian television history, is set in the rolling foothills of the Rockies in the fictional town of Hudson, Alberta. While some journeys end, others are just beginning. The Bartlett-Fleming family has learned a hard lesson: life is short, and you have to live each day to the fullest. In Season 15, they will put what they learned into practice. Last season, Amy said goodbye to the past. This season, she embraces the future – raising her daughter and working with the horses who continue to heal her while branching out into a new phase of her life and profession. She is moving forward and feels determined to leave a legacy. In fact, Jack, Lisa, Lou and Tim have all decided that now is not the time to pull back, but to ramp up, to create new dreams and fulfill old ones. And, as they always do, the family will pull together to help each other… and will ultimately end up stronger than ever.

Heartland is based on the bestselling series of books by Lauren Brooke. The executive producers are Michael Weinberg, Tom Cox, Jordy Randall and Heather Conkie, who also serves as the showrunner.

The series is produced by Dean Bennett. The series writers are Heather Conkie, Mark Haroun, Ken Craw, and Alexandra Clarke. The season’s directors are Pierre Tremblay, Ken Filewych, Chris Potter, Kristin Lehman, Michelle Morgan, Gloria Kim and Dean Bennett.
