Time to saddle up again: The Canadian drama “Heartland” will return for Season 20 here in the U.S. on Thursday, November 19 on streamer UP Faith & Family, TVLine has learned. Season 20 debuted on Canadian broadcaster CBC earlier this month.
“Heartland,” based on the bestselling book series by Lauren Brooke, stars Amber Marshall as Amy Fleming, who helps run her family’s horse and cattle ranch in Alberta, Canada. Michelle Morgan co-stars as Amy’s sister Lou, along with Shaun Johnston as their grandfather Jack. (If you need to catch up, the first 19 seasons of “Heartland” are now streaming on Netflix.)
In Season 20, “Amy grapples with a difficult decision about her future with Nathan and how that will affect her life at Heartland,” per the official description. “Meanwhile, a dynamic rival gallops into town with serious horse skills, a flair for fashion, and a dedicated online following.” Plus, “Lou has landed on her next grand business venture, but finds herself distracted by an impending milestone,” and “Jack is slow to trust Dex after he disappointed him last season, but once Dex proves he’s willing to change, Jack helps him to realize his true potential in the rodeo, and in life.” (Season 19 made its linear cable debut on UPtv in March.)
