Heartland Season 18 Production Nears Completion:
Excitement builds as “Heartland” gears up for its 18th season. The beloved Canadian drama, which chronicles the lives of the Fleming family on their ranch, was officially renewed in May 2024.

Watch: Heartland Season 17
Production Schedule Hints at Release Date:
The Directors’ Guild of Canada recently posted an update indicating that filming for Season 18 will wrap up on August 28, 2024, following nearly three months of shooting in Alberta, Canada. Given the show’s historical release patterns, fans can likely expect the new season to premiere on CBC in the first two weeks of October 2024.
Typical Release Timing:
Historically, “Heartland” seasons have completed filming in mid-to-late August, with premieres occurring six to eight weeks later. For instance, Season 17 wrapped up on August 10, 2023, and aired on October 1, 2023. With production ending in late August this year, a release in early October seems probable.
US Release and Streaming Options:
Following its Canadian debut, Season 18 will air in the US on The CW Plus and UP Faith & Family, likely by March or April 2025. Additionally, “Heartland” has found a home on Netflix in various regions, including the US, though typically much later than its initial broadcast.
What to Expect in Season 18:
Season 18 promises more of the drama and emotional storytelling that has kept fans engaged for nearly two decades. While an official synopsis has yet to be released, Season 17 concluded with significant developments: Shane and Chloe’s wedding and their move to Philadelphia, and the Bartlett-Fleming Ranch seeking new avenues after their beef deal with Bartlett Foods ended.
Anticipated Plot Points:
Viewers can expect Season 18 to explore Shane and Chloe’s new life in the city, as well as the ranch’s efforts to adapt to its changing financial situation. These narrative shifts will continue to drive the series’ compelling drama and character development.
