It began with horses, heartbreak, and the occasional stampede of emotion. Heartland, the beloved Canadian drama based on Lauren Brooke’s novels, first aired in 2007 and galloped straight into the hearts of viewers across the globe. Set against Alberta’s breathtaking landscapes, it follows Amy Fleming and her family as they navigate love, loss, and livestock. With over 17 seasons, it holds the title of CBC’s longest-running one-hour scripted drama. But even the sturdiest barns face a storm eventually.

Lately, chatter has erupted online about Heartland potentially trotting off Netflix, and fans are demanding clarity before it disappears.

After over a decade of uninterrupted streaming, Heartland is preparing to ride off the Netflix United States range. The streaming platform has housed the CBC’s iconic family drama since the early 2010s, helping it find a massive international audience. However, tangled licensing rights appear to be bringing this long trail to a halt. As per a notice on Netflix, all 249 episodes across 16 seasons are scheduled to depart the service on August 1, 2025.

Unless a last-minute renewal wrangles the rights, Heartland will end its Netflix United States journey without streaming Seasons 17 or 18. This coincides rather ironically with the recent announcement of a Season 19 renewal, complete with ten new episodes. So while Amy Fleming continues to tame horses in Alberta, American viewers may need to find a new digital ranch to catch the action or watch feel-good shows like Heartland.

Heartland may be leaving Netflix, but fans can still watch it on other platforms to quench their binge-watching thirst.

As with recent seasons, Heartland continues to debut new episodes first on UP Faith & Family, which premiered Season 18 earlier this year. The streaming service remains the series' primary home for first-run content in the United States. Meanwhile, viewers looking to catch up on past seasons can find Heartland in full or in part across various platforms including Hallmark+, Prime Video, Peacock, The CW, and The Roku Channel.

The options may vary by season and region, so audiences should be prepared to do a little digital trail riding. With Netflix likely closing the barn doors by August 2025, these alternative platforms may become the go-to pastures for Amy Fleming’s equine adventures and all the slow-burning ranch drama that has defined the CBC’s longest-running scripted series.
