WHEN CALLS THE HEART Producer: ‘We Will Be Around For A Long Time’
By Movieguide® Contributor
WHEN CALLS THE HEART has been on the air for almost 10 years now, and producer Brian Bird says he still plans for the show to continue.
“This show is a healing agent in the culture in my opinion, and I think that’s why so many people watch it,” executive producer Bird said.
Bird has attended multiple Movieguide® Awards Galas, and his projects have won several Movieguide® Awaerds.
“I think we’re doing good work and I think we’re doing the right work on the show, but it’s not because of us, it’s that the audience is starved to death for this,” he continued. “And when you give people food, they will just love you, they’ll be so loyal to you. And that’s why the audience keeps coming back every Sunday night. Shows this deep into their lifespan can get old, can get long in the tooth, and we’re not yet.”
Though Hallmark hasn’t officially renewed the series, Bird has hope it will continue.
“I really don’t believe we’ve even peaked yet in this show with season 9,” he shared. We will be around for a long time, I believe.”
“We have no intention of riding off into the sunset ourselves with this show,” Bird continued. “We will never end the show unless we decided to end the show.”
Movieguide®’s review of WHEN CALLS THE HEART reads:
WHEN CALLS THE HEART is a charming Hallmark TV show set in 1910 Canada about a woman named Elizabeth Thatcher coming to a small coal-mining town to teach. In Season 2, the town is transitioning from being a coal-mining town to a lumber town. Elizabeth Thatcher is the lead character, who not only teaches the children of the town, but also helps wherever needed in order to increase the community of the town.
WHEN CALLS THE HEART is an entertaining television show with a strong Christian, moral worldview. The whole family can sit down and watch this show together, be entertained, and know that their faith and values won’t be offended.
