Heartland season 15 was filmed in various stunning locations across Canada including Calgary (where Heartland has its own studio), High River, Millarville, and Longview in Alberta, Canada.
Whilst fans would love to live on the beautiful ranches and farms seen in Heartland, filming the hit TV series has had just as much drama as the script itself.
In June 2013, areas of Southern and Central Alberta experienced extremely heavy rainfalls, leading to some of the worst flooding that the province’s history.
Maggie’s Diner was said to be completely swamped by the floor, with production having to shift many of its filming locations to Inglewood, a town just outside Calgary.
Heartland has even filmed some sequences at the famous abandoned military base known as Currie Barracks.
Heartland season 14 finale recap
The Heartland season 14 finale was titled ‘Staying the Course’ and originally aired on March 21, 2021.
The season 14 finale saw Amy working with a particularly challenging horse called Shadow, the horse that we saw bolting from its herd back in the season 13 finale. Whilst out riding Shadow, Amy sees the old jumping course that she and Spartan used to enjoy and vows that she will rebuild the training course bigger and better than before.
Meanwhile, Jessica returned to the ranch and tells Tim that it was unfair of her to leave, but acknowledges that her new dream is to travel both across Canada and the wider world. Thankfully, Tim is supportive of this plan and the two finally share a kiss after Jessica suggests that he joins her on their travels.
However, it’s not all plain sailing in paradise; Lou calls off her wedding to Mitch after he says that he wants to have children with her and in a heartbreaking twist of fate, she admits that she still has feelings for Peter.

“It’s about new experiences and taking the path less traveled. In Season 17 the Bartlett-Fleming family will find themselves excited for the future and ready to embrace new adventures, challenges, and relationships. But no matter how much things may change, Amy (Amber Marshall), Lou (Michelle Morgan), Jack (Shaun Johnston), and Tim (Chris Potter) will continue to fight for what they believe in while staying rooted in the land that has been in the Bartlett-Fleming family for generations.”
Speaking on the season 17 renewal, lead actress Amber Marshall said “It is hard to believe I have been part of 250 Heartland episodes. When I look back and do the math, I’ve spent over 1700 days on set which is roughly 20,400 hours. I really can’t imagine a better group of people to create something so special.
