In most regions worldwide, you can now stream season 18 of the feel-good Canadian series Heartland, which has finally joined Netflix in the US. With season 19 having now aired, season 20 is expected to receive a renewal soon, what’s the future of Heartland on Netflix? Let’s dive in when new seasons of Heartland are coming to Netflix where you live.
Given that Heartland is licensed, its arrival on Netflix isn’t uniform, so we’ll need to break it down. As a reminder, the show airs first on CBC in Canada. Season 19 aired its 10 episodes between October 5th and December 7th, 2025.
What to Expect From Season 19 of Heartland
Following a cliffhanger finale in Season 18, the Bartlett-Fleming family faces new external threats that could change the ranch forever. Amy is navigating her blossoming relationship with Nathan Pryce. However, she must balance this new love with her responsibilities as a mother and her professional reputation, which comes under fire this season. Jack Bartlett finds his patience tested by an unlikely and inexperienced new ranch hand named Dex, and worst of all, a new adversary threatens the ranch, forcing Lou to make difficult choices to protect her family’s legacy.
Season 19 featured a mostly familiar cast but also included some fresh faces, including Kamaia Fairburn as River, Dylan Hawco as Dex, and Linda Boyd as Tammy Stillman, Lisa’s long-lost sister.
When will Heartland season 19 be on Netflix in the US?
Let’s begin with Heartland in the United States, which has now been streaming the show in one form or another since 2014, with new seasons coming every year since then. As you may know, Netflix US is behind other regions.
That’s because Netflix doesn’t have first-run rights; those still reside with UPtv (Up Faith and Family), and that remains the case in 2026 for season 19. As confirmed by TVLine, the network will once again serve as the show’s U.S. home for its debut, beginning on March 19th, 2026.
Their exclusivity period lasts about a year, so we don’t expect Heartland season 19 to be on Netflix US until at least early 2027, though it could launch as late as summer.
We can also confirm that Netflix has the rights to the show through at least September 2028 in the US, meaning we shouldn’t get a removal scare like we did last year anytime soon.
When will Season 19 of Heartland be on Netflix in International Regions?
The good news is that international regions, such as the United Kingdom and Australia, receive season 19 of of Heartland much sooner than those in the States. On the flip side, they lost all the older seasons (1 through 6) in 2022, and those haven’t returned.
For the past few years, new seasons have been released anywhere from 9-12 months after their initial release in Canada, meaning they should be available sometime in Summer 2026 through Autumn 2026 (season 18 was released in September).
What’s going on with Season 20 of Heartland?
While there’s been no official renewal, season 20 is expected to get into production this Summer in Calgary, Alberta, with a three-month shoot planned between May and August 2026. That would suggest a late 2026 airing on CBC, mid-to-late 2027 international debut, and 2028 Netflix US release based on the schedules outlined above.
There are also unconfirmed rumors that Heartland season 20 may be the show’s last. Fingers crossed that won’t be the case, but if it is, what a heck of a run this show has had.
