You've Got Until July 31 to Binge This Virgin River Replacement Series on Netflix
If you've been using Heartland as a cozy stand-in while waiting for Virgin River to cough up new episodes, bad news: Netflix is kicking the Bartlett-Fleming family off the ranch at the end of the month.
As quietly updated on the show's Netflix page, the last day to watch all 16 seasons of Heartland in the U.S. is Thursday, July 31. On August 1, nearly 250 episodes will vanish from the platform—along with any hopes that Netflix will carry future seasons.
This includes:
- Seasons available now: 1–16 (249 episodes)
- Seasons not coming to Netflix: 17 and 18
- Removal date: July 31, 2025
- Confirmed by: What's on Netflix
To add insult to injury, Heartland Season 17 and 18 have already aired in Canada. But Netflix U.S. subscribers won't be seeing them—not now, not later.
If you're wondering where the show's going, the answer is… everywhere except Netflix. The U.S. streaming rights are a patchwork, with UP Faith & Family holding first dibs on all new seasons. They already debuted Season 18 back in April 2025, months after the Canadian finale aired in December. Once UP's exclusivity lapses, older seasons filter out across Hallmark+, Prime Video, Peacock, The CW, The Roku Channel, and whoever else wants a bite.
So while Netflix used to be the home for Heartland completists, it's now just a temporary stopover. And by the end of July, that stop is shutting down.
There is a Season 19 on the way, if you're still hanging in. Filming started in May 2025, and it'll bring another 10 episodes. No word yet on a premiere date, and naturally, don't expect it on Netflix.
The bottom line: if you're one of the thousands who latched onto Heartland during the post-Virgin River drought, you'd better binge fast. After July 31, you'll have to chase it across half a dozen platforms—or just take it as a sign to move on.
Because in the end, Heartland's exit from Netflix says what Netflix never will out loud: if it's not trending, it's disposable.
