Hallmark shows have a way of feeling like an old friend, warm, predictable in the best way, and always there when you need a little comfort. So when one of those friends leaves for good, it stings a little more than expected. While the network is renewing three fan-favorite dramas — fans have also said goodbye to one of the network’s most beloved shows. “Hope Valley: 1874,” “Mistletoe Murders“ and “When Calls the Heart“ have all secured new seasons.
HallmarkMeanwhile, the time-traveling family drama “The Way Home“ has concluded its run after four seasons. Several other Hallmark shows, including “Celebrations With Lacey Chabert“ and “Finding Mr. Christmas,” are still awaiting official decisions.
Here is a recap of where Hallmark’s biggest television shows stand in 2026, building excitement for the upcoming seasons in 2026 and 2027.
“Hope Valley: 1874” Renewed for Season 2
HallmarkThe ‘When Calls the Heart’ prequel will return to Hallmark+ for an eight-episode second season in 2027, giving fans clear details about the upcoming season.

“Mistletoe Murders” Renewed for Season 3

Emily’s investigation into the local killings brings her closer to Detective Sam Wilner, played by Peter Mooney, and their partnership keeps evolving into something more.
But as Sam starts to sense that Emily is holding back a piece of who she really is, that connection may be harder to hold onto than either of them expects.
“When Calls the Heart” Renewed for Season 14
HallmarkHearties can officially plan another trip to Hope Valley. “When Calls the Heart” will return for Season 14 in 2027, according to the show’s official Hallmark page.

Through heartbreak, new love, and everything else life throws her way, Elizabeth keeps putting down roots alongside the friends who have become the family she never expected to find.
“The Way Home” Ends After Season 4
Hallmark“The Way Home” has closed its final chapter.
Hallmark previously confirmed that Season 4 would be the show’s last, as reported by People in November 2025.
The makers have promised a powerful end to the Landry family’s emotional journey across generations and time. The finale has since aired, bringing the series to an end. Hallmark’s final-season update confirms the four-season run.
The drama revolves around Kat Landry, played by Chyler Leigh, her daughter Alice, portrayed by Sadie Laflamme-Snow, and Kat’s mother Del, played by Andie MacDowell. Their discovery of a pond capable of carrying them through time allowed the family to confront old tragedies and repair their fractured relationships.
Evan Williams also starred as Elliot, Kat’s childhood friend and steady ally throughout the Landrys’ complicated journey.
Hope Valley 1974 should also been brought to and seen on the Hallmark Channel. Everything on the Hallmark Channel get to be seen on Hallmark+ the next day. Hallmark needs to do the same with the Hallmark+ movies and series too and show them on the Hallmark Station. What’s fair is fair. We pay through our Cable provider to get the Hallmark Station. Spectrum’s cost is outrageous as it it. May of us just can’t afford to add streaming stations. It’s all about the money for you Hallmark executives isn’t it Hallmark???!!!
I agree. I’m not paying for another streaming service. I already pay enough for cable. I don’t watch the mystery shows at all. Not interested. But I would watch Hope Valley 1874.
I agree, you are right. Xfinity’s cost is outrageous too. I can’t afford to add any more costs.
I really think that Hope Valley 1874 should be on the regular Hallmark channel. I would really like to see it but I can’t afford $80.00 a year for Hallmark plus. I’ve seen ads for other shows going on the Hallmark plus. I am very disappointed in Hallmark for doing this disservice to their loyal fans. Please reconsider?!
Since they canceled “The Way Home,” the Hallmark Channel has left a very bad taste in my mouth. I will not be watching much anymore. Why get interested in a new series if they are going to randomly cancel it in the middle of its run? The original story was supposed to be a 5-year arc, but they just couldn’t be bothered to do that last year. So, no, Hallmark, I no longer give you my eyes.
I agree with all of the above and I think it’s a real shame that money always comes before customers.
I agree as well – Streaming services are saturated – everybody is trying to get on the gravy train – Remember the Tech wreck of 2000 when everybody was trying to get on the Tech train – Streaming i the future no doubt but not everyone will survive – and that includes Hallmark + – You want to have a strong product not one divided – put Hope Valley 1874 on our Hallmark cable channel and bring back the Curious Caterer and you will have a rating winner and a strong cable channel for viewers – and while I am on a roll – cut back on the Christmas movies – especially in the summer – by the Holidays I am Christmased out and increase the mystery movies – one week would not be too much for me – your writers a flare for entertaining mystery movies and series
At least they did an ending to The Way Home. I loved the Martha Vineyard Mysteries shows and they just abruptly ended them with no conclusion. We never did find out who actually shot Jeff when he worked in Boston. It makes you not want to start another series.
I lost all respect for Hallmark’s management when they cancelled The Way Home. They knew they had a winner in that series, so they wanted to put it on + and charge extra for it. When the fans pushed back, Hallmark became vindictive and just ended the series. It was probably the most popular series they ever ran, and I am sure they could have gotten ten or twelve years out of it, but no, when they realized what they had, they just wanted more money out of their viewers.
It is a sad statement on today’s money driven society…. If you don’t give us all of your money, we give you dissapointment. Money uber alles!
I thought maybe, just maybe Hallmark was different, but I guess not…
