Heartland is the longest-running one-hour drama in Canadian television history. The success of a family-run ranch in the foothills of Alberta isn&#8217;t guaranteed, even in the best of times, and when season 18 begins, Heartland&#8217;s future has never been more precarious. With new competition from a neighboring ranch and a drought that threatens the health of the herd, the only solution is for the Bartlett-Fleming family to buckle down and adapt like never before. Amy&#8217;s work with horses continues to be her focus, but when she unexpectedly finds her heart pulled in two different directions, she&#8217;ll be forced to make a difficult decision. Lou will be more involved than ever in the family cattle business, often placing her at odds with Jack and Tim. However, when it matters most, the entire family will come together and prove that no adversity is too great when they&#8217;re united. It will take courage, resolve, and strength of character to overcome the challenges ahead. In other words, it&#8217;ll take true grit.<\/p>\n<p><em>Heartland<\/em> is based on the bestselling series of books by Lauren Brooke. The executive producers are Michael Weinberg, Tom Cox, Jordy Randall, and Mark Haroun, along with co-executive producer Dean Bennett. The series is produced by Jess Maldaner. The season&#8217;s writers are Mark Haroun, Ken Craw, Caitlin Fryers, Adam Hussein, and Mika Collins. Season 18 directors include Dean Bennett, Ken Filewych, Chris Potter, Michelle Morgan, Melanie Scrofano, and Cazhhmere Downey.<\/p><div id=\"morty-2073249641\" class=\"morty-content\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>\r\n      <table id=\"tmdb-pro\">\r\n        <tbody>\r\n          <tr>\r\n            <td class=\"tmdb-pro-poster\" width=\"20%\" rowspan=\"3\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"100%\" src=\"https:\/\/image.tmdb.org\/t\/p\/w300_and_h450_bestv2\/\/uc2gtWczT58BiAUJWFz9P5aZmNF.jpg\"><\/td>\r\n            <td>\r\n              <h3><b>Heartland<\/b><\/h3>\r\n            <\/td>\r\n          <\/tr>\r\n          <tr><td><span><b>Network:<\/b> CBC Television<\/span><span><b>Genre:<\/b> Family<\/span><span><b>Seasons:<\/b> 19<\/span><span><b>Episodes:<\/b> 279<\/span><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><h5><b>Overview<\/b><\/h5><p>Life is hard on the Flemings&#039; ranch in the Alberta foothills where abused or neglected horses find refuge with a kind, hard-working family.
