Heartland remains a beloved show on Netflix, though some regions have either lost access to it completely or are missing earlier seasons. Fortunately, viewers in the US can still stream all the episodes, though they are currently behind on the latest updates. Season 17 of Heartland has been confirmed, but the release date on Netflix remains uncertain. For many, it won’t be available until later in 2024 or possibly even into 2025.

Can’t find Season 17 of Heartland on Netflix? No worries! You can still watch it for free on CBC Gem by using a VPN like Ivacy VPN to connect to a Canadian server.

For those who might not be familiar, Heartland is a long-running, feel-good series that tells the story of the Bartlett-Fleming family and their life on a large ranch in Alberta.

According to the official Heartland blog, filming for the new season started on May 8th, 2023. The first episode of Season 17 will mark a significant milestone as the show’s 250th episode.

The blog has also shared a brief preview of what we can look forward to in the upcoming season:

In Season 17, the Heartland family learns that while dreams can sometimes come true, life often takes us in unexpected directions. This new season is all about embracing these surprises and welcoming new experiences. The Bartlett-Fleming family will be looking forward to the future, ready to embark on new adventures, face challenges, and build new relationships. Despite all the changes, Amy (Amber Marshall), Lou (Michelle Morgan), Jack (Shaun Johnston), and Tim (Chris Potter) will remain committed to their values and stay connected to the land that has been in their family for generations.

When will Heartland Season 17 be on Netflix? To answer that question, we need to break it down because the release timing for Heartland on Netflix varies depending on your location.

Is Heartland on Netflix US and Australia?

Yes! Seasons 1-16 of the popular Canadian dramedy are now available on Netflix US and Australia.

Will Heartland Season 17 be on Netflix US and Australia?

We think so. Based on how the show has streamed before, Heartland Season 17 should come to Netflix US and Australia eventually.

When will Heartland Season 17 be on Netflix?

There’s no official release date yet, but here’s how previous seasons of Heartland have premiered on Netflix:

Season 14: Finale aired March 21, 2021, in Canada; premiered April 1, 2022, on Netflix.
Season 15: Finale aired December 19, 2021, in Canada; premiered May 31, 2023, on Netflix.
Season 16: Finale aired February 5, 2023, in Canada; premiered June 1, 2024, on Netflix.

Season 17’s finale aired December 3, 2023, in Canada. Based on this pattern, we expect it to arrive on Netflix in early to mid-2025.

What’s the reason Heartland is no longer on Netflix Canada?

Let’s start with Canada, where Heartland is no longer available to stream at all.

The show was removed when CBC took most of its content off Netflix in March 2023. This included popular titles like Kim’s Convenience, Murdoch Mysteries, and Schitt’s Creek.

Now, these shows, including Heartland, are only available on CBC and its CBC Gem service.

Netflix US won’t have Heartland Season 17 until at least 2025

People in the United States might already know that Netflix there often lags behind by two or three seasons.

This delay has been a pattern for a few years, and it will continue with Season 17.

A representative from UP Faith & Family has confirmed to What’s on Netflix that Season 17 of Heartland will be available on UP Faith & Family starting April 25, 2024. This will be the only place in the U.S. to watch all seasons of Heartland, including exclusive bonus content, until early 2025.

So, if you want to catch Season 17 in 2024, you’ll need to subscribe to UP Faith & Family starting in late April 2024. After that exclusivity ends, Season 17 should become available on Netflix, but this might not happen until early 2025 or even later.

Heartland Season 15 confirmed for May 30th release date
Heartland Season 16 is expected to arrive sometime in early-to-mid-2024
Heartland Season 17 of Heartland is expected to arrive sometime in early-to-mid 2025

When will Heartland Season 17 be on Netflix in other countries?

According to Unogs, Heartland is available in at least 19 regions outside the US, including Australia, the United Kingdom, Latin America, Asia, France, Israel, and India.

In these regions, new seasons of Heartland are released about a year earlier than they are on Netflix in the US. For instance, Season 16 was available in early 2023. In these areas, there are no exclusive distribution deals that would delay the release of new episodes on Netflix.

As a result, we expected Season 17 to become available in these regions sometime in early to mid-2024. This has already happened in many places, such as the UK and Brazil, where Season 17 began streaming on May 1, 2024.

However, a downside for viewers in these regions is that the earlier seasons (Seasons 1 through 6) are no longer available on Netflix.

What to expect from Heartland Season 17

In Heartland Season 17, the Bartlett-Fleming family will face new adventures, challenges, and relationships. They’ll learn that while dreams can come true, life often takes unexpected turns. The season is all about embracing these surprises and exploring new experiences. Despite the changes, Amy, Lou, Jack, and Tim will stay true to their values and their family’s land.
