Heartland is a Canadian drama set at a family ranch, where sisters Amy and Lou and their relatives care for horses and cattle. The series has followed the family’s work and relationships across many seasons.
It airs in Canada on CBC and in the US on UP Faith & Family, a subscription streaming service. Its long run has made it a notable part of Canadian television, while its separate release schedules mean viewers in the two countries may see new episodes at different times.
