Filming has begun on Season 10 of When Calls the Heart, and cast members appear to be having a great time on set. Erin Krakow, Andrea Brooks, Ava Grace Cooper, and Chris McNally have been posting pics and videos on Instagram of all the fun they’re having behind the scenes.
In a 17-second clip Jack Wagner shared, he and Erin Krakow pretend to be lost in the woods. “Whaaa? wheeer? whooo? What’s happening??” he wrote in the caption. “Lost not to be found?”
In the video, he says, “Any clue why Bill and Elizabeth would be trudging through the wilderness? You’ll have to wait for the premiere of Season 10 of When Calls the Heart.”
Cast members Andrea Brooks and Pascale Hutton responded in the comments.
“Remind me NEVER to go into the woods with either of you!!! 😂” Hutton wrote.
“Blair Witch vibes!” added Andrea Brooks.
Season 10 of When Calls the Heart
Filming began in July on the new season and production is expected to wrap up in November. The show is filmed on MacInnes Farms in Langley, British Columbia, which is located near Vancouver in western Canada. (The farm has a great Facebook page, which can be found here.)
Ava Grace Cooper, who plays Opal Weiss on the series, shared a photo of herself in costume standing in front of her trailer.
“#wcth #opal #set #filming,” she wrote in the caption.
Ben Rosenbaum, who plays Mike Hickam on the show, had fun altering photos of himself and Chris McNally to show what they would look like on Season 40.
“@hallmarkchannel give us 30 more years and let’s see how accurate this turns out to be,” he wrote.
McNally shared his photo with the caption, “@ben_rosenbaum fixed me up for WCTH season 40.”
When Calls the Heart
When Calls the Heart premiered on Hallmark Channel in 2014. Based on a series of books by Canadian author Janette Oke, the show followed a wealthy woman, Elizabeth Thatcher (played by Erin Krakow), who moved to a small Canadian mining town to work as a teacher. She fell in love with and eventually married a mountie — short for Royal Canadian Mounted Police —named Jack Thornton (played by Daniel Lissing).
The series has had its share of controversy. At the end of Season 5, Jack Thornton was killed shortly after his wedding to Elizabeth. In Season 6, two men were brought in to replace him, and they vied for Elizabeth’s hand until she chose between them in the Season 8 finale.
Many fans were upset when Elizabeth chose businessman Lucas Bouchard (Chris McNally) over Mountie Nathan Grant (Kevin McGarry). Some vowed never to watch the show again.
In August, Hallmark Media Exec VP President of Programming Lisa Hamilton Daly told reporters at a press event that Season 10 of When Calls the Heart would premiere in the middle of 2023.
