Why When Calls the Heart Fans Should Watch This Must-See Taylor Sheridan Series

While a collaboration between Hallmark and Taylor Sheridan may not be what many anticipated for 2025, it’s certainly worth exploring. Fans of When Calls the Heart should take note and delve into one of Sheridan’s acclaimed projects without delay.

Set against the backdrop of Hallmark’s quaint small-town charm, When Calls the Heart has seamlessly transitioned into the lively 1920s, where residents are preoccupied with mastering the Charleston and launching a community radio station.

Conversely, Taylor Sheridan’s narrative universe portrays a starkly different picture. With the highly-anticipated 1923 Season 2 on the horizon, fans of Yellowstone have braved tumultuous family feuds, including dramatic clashes between characters like Beth and Jamie, and the shocking demise of John Dutton.

Kayla Wallace from When Calls the Heart Joins Taylor Sheridan’s Landman

In an exciting twist, Kayla Wallace, who portrays Fiona Miller in When Calls the Heart since Season 6, has taken on a new role as Rebecca Falcone in Landman. This transition required her to step back from the Hallmark series to embrace the challenges of the Western genre.

Landman chronicles the journey of crisis executive Tommy Norris, who is navigating the booming oil industry in West Texas. Amidst this corporate tumult, Rebecca emerges as a causation lawyer, shedding her former urban, white-collar life. Now deeply enmeshed in the high-stakes environment of an oil company, she’s willing to engage in cutthroat legal tactics to avert lawsuits.

In dialogue with SoapHub, Wallace drew fascinating parallels between her experiences with the lead actors in both series: “Erin Krakow is such a kind, wonderful person, and it sets the tone for everybody on set. The same can be said for Billy Bob Thornton. Having a leader who fosters a friendly atmosphere really cultivates a positive energy during filming.”

Wallace’s exit from Season 10 of When Calls the Heart was strategic, timed with the interruption of filming for Landman.

Fiona in When Calls the Heart — Hallmark

With the first season of Sheridan’s show concluded, fans are now speculating about Wallace’s potential return for When Calls the Heart Season 12. The official synopsis for Season 12, Episode 5 hints at a familiar face reappearing in Hope Valley, exciting fans and keeping interest alive.

The description mentions, “Elizabeth develops a new method of teaching. Nathan goes undercover. A familiar face returns to Hope Valley with an unlucky heiress in tow. Lucas and Lee confront their differences.”

Many believe this familiar face is none other than Fiona, with Wallace herself suggesting that “there’s a chance you might see more of her” during her recent interviews.

Landman is currently available for streaming on Paramount, while When Calls the Heart continues to air weekly on the Hallmark Channel. Fans should catch up on the finale of Landman and stay tuned for updates on the release schedule for When Calls the Heart Season 12 to learn how to watch it outside the US.
