Heartland is a new Canadian tv show that will premier on CBC on October 14th. This family drama series is based on the books by Lauren Brooke and is set in a fictional town, called "Hudson," in Alberta. The series is about a family struggling to overcome various obstacles ranging from debt to death. The family must work together and help one another in times of need, especially after the death of their mother. Heartland is the name of the family ranch.
The cast includes Chris Potter, Nathaniel Arcand, and Graham Wardle and Amber Marshall.
I was not able to find too much information about the show, since it has not even aired yet, but it looks like it could be interesting. And, I was surprised that I was able to find a tv show that took place in the Prairies since it seemed like the overwhelming majority of Canadian tv shows take place in either Ontario, Quebec, or B.C.
Hopefully, the show will do well.
