Langley, British Columbia, Canada

Langley, a municipality in the Metro Vancouver Regional District in British Columbia, Canada, serves as the perfect location for filming When Calls the Heart.

About When Calls the Heart

When Calls the Heart is developed by Michael Landon Jr. and inspired by the 1983 book of the same name by Janette Oke from her Canadian West series. The show was originally released as a movie pilot in October 2013. The two-hour pilot starred Poppy Drayton as Elizabeth Thatcher and Stephen Amell as Wynn Delaney.

Following the pilot's success, the makers released season 1 of the show on January 11, 2014. The plot for both the film and the show was similar, however, the actors who played the lead roles in the movie were replaced by new actors.

In the show, Erin Krakow played Elizabeth Thatcher, a young teacher from an influential background who was posted to a small town in Western Canada called Coal Valley (later renamed Hope Valley) for a teaching job. On the other hand, Daniel Lissing played Jack Thornton, a North-West Mounted Police Constable, in the series.
