All About Heartland
Thanks to the ardor of the fans and the ingenuity of the creators, the world of Heartland has been growing and changing from the moment the first novel was published in 2001. The launch of the I Love Heartland social network is the next step in this evolution as it gives you a chance to connect directly with the cast and crew who work so hard to make every epsiode great. Stay tuned to this page for ongoing updates!
Before it became a hit CBC television series, Heartland began as a sprawling collection of twenty five novels penned by the prolific Lauren Brooke. The stories center on the Heartland ranch, a place of hope and healing for injured horses, and the Fleming family who own and operate it.
The first and second seasons saw the television series break into the national consciousness and immediately garner significant ratings. With production about to start for a third season, Heartland has become a landmark Canadian television event, with a steadily growing viewership and ever-better critical acclaim.
Now with broadcasts in France, Switzerland, Belgium, Luxembourg and even Senegal, Heartland is well on its way to becoming a breakout international success... which goes to prove that the themes of horses, healing and family drama resonate with a global audience.
