UP has cancelled Heartland after eight seasons.
The network has decided not to pick up the ninth season of the Canadian family drama.
The network confirmed via statement:
Thanks for your recent feedback about “Heartland” and for being such loyal fans. “Heartland” was a wonderful series for UP and we were pleased to carry it for eight seasons. We invite you to watch UP’s new original series, “Ties That Bind” and “Bringing Up Bates.” These new shows are consistent with UP’s commitment to provide entertaining, family-oriented programming featuring characters with character. While we understand that these will not replace “Heartland,” we are confident that you will find these series to be entertaining, engaging and fun for the entire family. UP will also be adding more popular fan favorites and family series to the lineup in the near future.
Heartland is currently airing its ninth season in Canada on CBC. No official decision yet on Season 10 – stay tuned…
Terry Lydon says
Is there any way to see “Heartland” here in the US if it is only being shown in Canada on CBC? I am so disappointed that UP has not picked this program up for season 9. It is such a great series!
Courtney says
Do you have Netflix? US Netflix is like 3 seasons behind because they have to wait for a season to have completed airing over here before they can stream it so there are only currently 6 seasons on US Netflix. However, if you have a Netflix account, look up how to change your internet VPN to Canada. It’s free, and when you log into Netflix, it logs you in to the Canadian Netflix which has 8 seasons. Season 9 will be put up after it’s completed airing. I know it’s not the best or immediate solution, but at least it’s a solution. Also, if you want an immediate solution, use torrents.

What channel is cbc on I have direct tv and would really like to see hartland season 9 I am very disappointed that up decided not to put season 9 of hartland back on up I and meny others were looking forward to seeing the show
Carol pilcher says
Bring back heartland season nine. You have enough followers who want it
shirley says
i hope they renewed heartland for season 9 is a good family show i m a big fan of heartland
Courtney says
It’s currently airing season 9 in Canada. It’s just that the channel that airs it in the US has decided not to air it. So season 9 exists; just not in the US.
Sue katz says
why in the world would up cancel heartland it is probably 1 of the most family oriented show left on tv what is it with these TV stations, you get a hold- some entertaining life changing family show that helps our children learn values and there’s no smut or cursing or violence and yet you cancel, you know I’m sorry there’s no skin or no killing I mean American wonders why are children are in trouble, every show that has family values is canceled it’s very very shameful. I hope you reach deep down in your soul and reconsider because heartland is wonderful wonderful family oriented entertainment show. If there’s anyone out there that are reading these replies please put your 2 cents in for God Sakes…~♡
Carol says
If you honestly think that another reality show can even match Heartland, then you are sadly mistaken. Cancelling Heartland makes me want to cancel watching UP.
Joyce C Wicks says
I have watched every episode I could get. I don’t understand how this works. Who decides which programs to cancel? Lots of times programs don’t get watched even though the viewers want to watch them because they are not available where they live OR sports takes their places.
I LOVE HEARTLAND! IT SHOULDN’T GO OFF AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!
AT LEAST SHOW SEASON 9 AND GIVE IT A WRAP UP IF NOTHING ELSE.
I HATE STATIONS THAT PUT ON GREAT SHOWS AND THEN CANCEL THEM.
HOW COME MY SOAP OPERA HAS RUN FOR OVER 40 YEARS – WHY CAN’T THE OTHER PROGRAMS RUN LONGER.
PLEASE EXPLAIN ALL THIS TO ME. I DON’T UNDERSTAND. BUT WOULD LIKE TO.
Betsy says
You really thing Bates and Ties could ever be on the same level as Heartland? You are sadly mistaken. Both of those could be cancelled and no one would notice. Heartland is one of the most healthy, heartwarming shows. There are lessons to be learned every episode and it is all played out in God’s outdoors. Shame on you!!! Bring it back!
Nancy says
I am very disappointed that UP will not be airing Season 9 of Heartland. It is such a wonderful family oriented show that will be greatly missed. I hope you will reconsider.
Nocona Soboleski says
I buy channel packages strictly to get certain shows and I am very disappointed that UP is not airing season 9 of Heartland.
Jen says
Why i love heartland please bring it back
Kris says
The least you can do when y’all cancel a series is to give us a way to end it. At least Make a movie and get everyone settled…you create these huge season-finales to make sure we come back and then decide to cancel it!!! I am so disappointed in the choices y’all and Hallmark are making in removing good shows with substance and tossing a movie or a 19kids, big family reality show…we’ve kind of been there, done that by now. Give us some credit. We are not toddlers you can hand a quick treat to and have us trot away happy. Doesn’t work like that. UP and Hallmark have been on my ‘tell everyone’ list because of the wholesome but interesting shows…shows with morals but rich characters, great stories, interesting, multi-layers and now y’all are chopping the great shows off. Shame on you. Guess I will have to go back to my friends and tell them to forget about watching your channel, you took the great stuff off. And I am not placated by a bunch of kids on a show like one I have seen for years and years..courting, hold hands, sweet, mayhem, babies, etc etc etc nor am I placated by some ‘maybe’ or ‘maybe-not’ new show. What I know for sure is that you are making a poor choice here…wow. Just when I began to have hope in good programming.
Lynn Neumann says
I fail to understand why wholesome, family shows get cancelled. Some of us actually appreciate watching shows that do not go overboard with violence, sex or disrespect. I love this show and watch reruns all the time. It makes me sad that networks don’t consider those of us that enjoy family shows.
Nina says
Worst decision ever by UP to cancel Heartland in the US!!! What is the reason the US won’t air the show??? Unbelievable….really disappointed in UP if it was their choice. Won’t be viewing UP any longer but would like to know the REAL reason that Heartland can’t be shown in the US.
Marion says
I will no longer be watching Up unless you bring Heartland back. it is a great family show. Why would you make this awful decision to not keep it on your station? Goodby to UP.
ANGIE says
WORSE DECESION EVER MADE…MY HUSBAND AND I ALWAYS LOOKED FOWARD TO WATCHING THIS SHOW EVERY WED. NIGHT. HEARING THAT SEASON 9 WILL NOT AIR ON UP CHANNEL MAKES ME WANT TO CANCEL THAT CHANNEL………VERY SAD AND VERY DISAPPOINTED!!
Bernice says
Guess it didn’t have enough blood and guts to suit the people that rate these things!!! Family shows that show family values are out. I am so upset with the Hallmark channel that is why we watch their channel. Heartland showed family life, respect and love for one another. I’ll not be watching anymore.
sandra martin says
I can’t believe Heartland has been cancelled. To be honest, it is the only show that you broadcasted that I watched. It was wholesome and I didn’t have to worry about my grandkids watching. SO dissappointed.
Diane says
We are very disappointed that you dropped Heartland, it is our household favorite show.
Linda Swatzell says
My whole family love watching Heartland. Why in the world would up cancel it. Did they cancel because it is a decent show..l will not watch anything on up any more. Thanks UP.
Jean Marshall says
I was just looking to see when Heartland was coming back on because it has been off for so long. I saw where UP has canceled the show. I am beyond disappointed!! Heartland is one of the few shows I looked forward to watching! Although looking through the program guide on direct tv I am seeing where reruns of heartland are being shown on UP so why not continue with season 9? I guess UP would rather show continuous back to back episodes of 13 year old reruns of 7th Heaven and Gilmore Girls. No more UP for me!
Frank braden says
