According to TV Line, they are premiering the When Calls The Heart spinoff When Hope Calls on Sunday, April 6, a couple of weeks after Wcth Season 12 ends on Hallmark.

With When Calls the Heart in a never-ending creative rut, many fans may bail and throw all their support behind When Hope Calls Season 2.

The long-delayed sophomore season of the spinoff finally has a premiere date on Great American Family.

Thankfully, new episodes will premiere on Sunday, April 6. Pure Flix will carry the installments three days earlier, which is pretty neat if you’re like us and can’t wait for Season 2.

The news means that the When Calls the Heart franchise will remain alive following the conclusion of Season 12.

For a long time, we thought When Hope Calls was dead and buried. It first aired on Hallmark in 2019 and moved to Great American Family for two holiday-themed episodes in 2021.

Then, news about the show went quiet, and we were surprised to learn last fall that eight new episodes were in production ahead of a 2025 bow.

At the time, rumors...

More than three years after its last original episode, When Hope Calls has finally set its Season 2 premiere date at Great American Family.

The When Calls the Heart spinoff — which originated on Hallmark in 2019 with a 10-episode Season 1, then relocated to Gaf in 2021 for a pair of Christmas episodes — will kick off its eight-episode sophomore season Sunday, April 6. (The premiere will stream three days earlier, Thursday, April 3, on Pure Flix.)

When Hope Calls season 2 gets a narrow release date. A spinoff of Hallmark Channel's When Calls the Heart, and based on the books by Janette Oke, the drama premiered in August 2019. The story follows a pair of sisters, Lillian Walsh (Morgan Kohan) and Grace Bennett (Jocelyn Hudon), in the town of Brookfield back in 1916. The cast also includes Ryan-James Hatanaka, Greg Hovanessian, Wendy Crewson, Marshall Williams, Hanneke Talbot, Neil Crone, and Full House alum Lori Loughlin. Although the adaptation was renewed back in December 2021, it's been a long wait to get to audiences.

TVLine was asked about when the spinoff might return. Although the outlet did not have an exact release window set, it was mentioned that When Hope Calls season 2 is expected to premiere on Great American Family in Q2 of 2025, which would narrow the release month to either April, May, or June. Earlier reports mentioned a January release date.

While When Calls The Heart (Wcth) continues to wow fans over at Hallmark, When Hope Calls, Wcth’s spinoff, has been a smashing success over on Great American Family (Gaf).

Both are premiering new seasons come 2025, with Wcth’s Season 12 dropping on Sunday, January 5 on Hallmark, and Gaf stating When Hope Calls’ Season 2 is set to debut sometime in January 2025 (although a specific date has yet to be announced).

The timeline of Criminal Minds: Evolution gets clarified by showrunner Erica Messer. With the show's successful revival on streaming, Criminal Minds: Evolution season 3 was renewed before the second installment even premiered. The early greenlight added assurance, considering the crime drama's tendency to conclude with major cliffhangers. But the latest update from Messer hints that the series will take a somewhat different approach when it returns.

In comments to TVLine, Messer confirmed that season 3 will begin six months after the events of the season 2 finale. This is a relatively significant time jump for the Paramount+ revival series, which previously unfolded with just two weeks between seasons.

We have some surprising news to report about When Hope Calls.

The When Calls the Heart spin-off is returning to TV screens for Season 2!

When Hope Calls debuted in 2019 on Hallmark.

It moved to Gac Family for a two-part Christmas special in 2021 and has been in limbo since then.

Thankfully, Deadline has confirmed that the next chapter will begin filming later this month.

It will be a fast turnaround because the season is tentatively set to premiere in January 2025.

The When Hope Calls Season 2 cast includes Cindy Busby (as Nora), Christopher Russell (Constable Mountie Michael), Nick Bateman (Wyatt), Wendy Crewson (Tess Stewart), Hanneke Talbot (Maggie Parsons), Morgan Kohan (Lillian Walsh), and Ryan-James Hatanaka (Mountie Gabriel).

Will Morgan Kohan be a series regular on When Hope Calls Season 2?

Eight new episodes have been ordered for the show, which is expected to introduce new characters during Season 2.

Exclusive: Aimee Garcia has joined Criminal Minds: Evolution for the Paramount+ series’ third season.

In a multiple-episode arc, Garcia will portray Dr. Julia Ochoa, one of the country’s leading neuropsychiatrists who is assigned to help a high-profile patient recover from his injury-induced brain trauma. She clashes with Alvez (Adam Rodriguez) who, by contrast, believes in a more aggressive approach than her gentle approach.

Criminal Minds: Evolution is an expansion of the original CBS series which ran from 2005-2020. In the current season, the FBI’s elite team of criminal profilers comes up against an UnSub who has used the pandemic to build a network of other serial killers. As the world opens back up and the network goes operational, the team must hunt them down, one murder at a time.

The series stars Joe Mantegna, A.J. Cook, Kirsten Vangsness, Aisha Tyler, Zach Gilford, Ryan-James Hatanaka with Adam Rodriguez and Paget Brewster.

Criminal Minds: Evolution season 2 may be over, but we’re already looking forward to what happens next. Even though it’s still early, we do know the show will be back for season 3. Plus, the season 2 finale already set up a possible arc that will continue to involve Elias Voit (Zach Gilford).

In the season 2 finale, Voit had started his prison sentence, where he for some reason had requested to be put into the general population. In the final scene, he was attacked while doing laundry. Almost immediately, based on his previous behavior and how diabolical he could be, there were suspicions that he planned this himself. There is no doubt Voit is prepared to do whatever it takes to get out of prison as soon as possible.

Here's what we know about the upcoming season!

Criminal Minds: Evolution season 3 is in production!

While we don't have a release date for the third season,...

Note: This story contains spoilers for the Season 2 finale of “Criminal Minds: Evolution.”

Whether you consider it Season 2 or Season 17, “Criminal Minds: Evolution” ended with quite the explosion in Thursday’s finale. While fans were concerned for Paget Brewster’s Prentiss going into Episode 10, it was Zach Gilford’s serial killer Voit (aka Sicarius) who ultimately met his end — or did he?

Since the sequel series has already been renewed for Season 3 at Paramount+, showrunner Erica Messer broke down the twist-filled finale with TheWrap and gave a concrete answer about that violent cliffhanger.

“It was a journey to get here, because in some ways it really started at last season’s finale when Doug Bailey (Nicholas D’Agosto) was killed by Elias Voit, seemingly because Voit used this code word ‘Gold Star,’ which got Bailey to walk in all alone, unarmed, into the lion’s den,” she explained. “The journey to...

Criminal Minds: Evolution's love triangle between Tyler, Garcia, and Alvez is unnecessary and distracts from the main storyline. The show's office romance execution is problematic and doesn't add anything to the overall plot, especially as Criminal Minds: Evolution season 2 deals with darker themes. The unresolved love triangle needs resolution before everyone, including Tyler, returns for Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 3.

With Criminal Minds: Evolution season 2 entering its final stretch, I am so ready for the show to end Tyler Green, Penelope Garcia, & Luke Alvez's complicated relationship. As a loyal follower of the Criminal Minds franchise even when it was still on network TV, I know that romances aren't exactly its strong suit. The show never really fully delved into this particular storyline, even as its fellow police procedural dabbled into the same arc, with Law & Order: Svu doing its back-and-forth with Olivia Benson and Elliot Stabler, as well as...

The following contains spoilers from Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 2, Episode 5, "Conspiracy vs. Theory."

It's the midway point for Season 2 of Criminal Minds: Evolution, and Gold Star, Elias Voit (Zack Gilford) and Emily Prentiss's (Paget Brewster) deeply disturbed neighbor are bringing the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit (Bau) to their breaking point. After mostly leading on the members of the Bau and mocking them for it, Voit finally starts helping with the investigation into Gold Star. However, Voit plays both sides expertly, narrowly avoiding death.

"Conspiracy vs. Theory" is an episode that shows just how much Criminal Minds changed in its reboot in, Evolution. Unlike the past few episodes or any of the show's classic seasons, there was no case-of-the-week here. Instead, the whole narrative focused squarely on the Gold Star investigation. Criminal Minds' transformation from episodic cases to a serialized investigation has never been more apparent than in this episode. The Bau recently discovered that,...

The following contains discussions of self-harm, graphic violence and spoilers from Criminal Minds: Evolution, Season 2, Episode 4, "Kingdom of the Blind."

After a trio of episodes with the Behavioral Analysis Unit (Bau) chasing their tails, Criminal Minds: Evolution finally sheds some light on the Gold Star conspiracy at the heart of the revival series' second season. But despite this big break in the case, tiny cracks are spreading through the individual Bau members. While this would be dangerous for them at any point, Season 2's fourth episode, "Kingdom of the Blind," will bring the previous season's villain right into their midst. From here on out, things will only get worse for the Bau.

The Season 2 premiere episodes of Evolution revealed that David Rossi (Joe Mantegna) is still working through his trauma from Season 1. Similarly, Penelope Garcia (Kirsten Vangsness) continues to try to move on from Tyler Green (Ryan-James Hatanaka), a vigilante she fell for.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 17 Episode 4 “Kingdom of the Blind.”] The Bau has the best lead it’s gotten yet on Gold Star after the latest Criminal Minds: Evolution episode. The team is divided, at first, with Rossi (Joe Mantegna)—and his hallucination of Voit (Zach Gilford) along for the ride, of course—and Tara (Aisha Tyler) heading to Nevada to investigate two deaths that could be Gold Star since the eyes were removed and badges taken; Prentiss (Paget Brewster) trying to figure out why Brian Garrity (Paul F. Tompkins) told the cops she attacked him, not the three men who did; JJ (A.J. Cook) and Luke (Adam Rodriguez) helping Voit’s wife and daughters before and after they visit him; and Garcia (Kirsten Vangsness) reluctantly working with Tyler (Ryan-James Hatanaka) to crack the phone of the person who made sure the ...

Spencer Reid's return in Criminal Minds: Evolution looks more likely with recent news on the show's renewal for a third season. The original cast members remain central to Evolution's storyline, with the series staying true to its roots and characters. Matthew Gray Gubler's potential return as Reid in the upcoming season hints at a promising storyline for fans of the Bau.

Recent news about Paramount+'s Criminal Minds: Evolution (2022) makes fan-favorite character Spencer Reid's (Matthew Gray Gubler) return even more likely. A continuation of the original Criminal Minds, which aired from 2005 to 2020 on network television, Evolution serves as the sixteenth season of the once-canceled series. Unlike the franchise's two incredibly short-lived spin-off series, Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior and Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders, Evolution centers on many of the original show's long-standing criminal profilers who work for the FBI as members of its Behavioral Analysis Unit (Bau).

With just a few exceptions,...

Criminal Minds renewed for an 18th season at Paramount+ with returning cast members and new guest stars. Show originally aired in 2005, becoming a long-running police procedural series with high ratings. Series underwent casting changes over the years, including original stars leaving and some returning in later seasons.

Fans of Criminal Minds will be pleased to know that the series has already been renewed for an 18th season at Paramount+. The news comes just in time for the premiere of Season 17 on the streaming platform, which begins airing on June 6, 2024, with a two episode premiere, and weekly episodes on Thursdays thereafter until its conclusion on August 1.
