For all those fans whose hearts are breaking now that season three of When Calls The Heart has come to a close, rest assured that not all is over. The popular Hallmark series that stars General Hospital alums Jack Wagner (ex-Frisco Jones) and Kristina Wagner (Felicia Jones) has been renewed for a forth season.
According to the series' network and Nielsen stats, the finale episode of season three pulled a 2.6 HH rating and 3 million total viewers in Live+3, making it the highest-rated episode in the series' history. And there's no doubt the strong numbers helped sway Hallmark into ordering a fourth season of the series, scheduled to begin production this summer in Vancouver for a 2017 premiere.
