Will Melissa Gilbert Appear In When Calls The Heart Season 12th? Here’s What We Know

As a die-hard fan who has grown up with both “Little House on the Prairie” and “When Calls the Heart”, I can hardly contain my excitement! The thought of Melissa Gilbert, who played Laura Ingalls Wilder in my childhood favorite show, appearing in “When Calls the Heart” is a dream come true. I mean, who would have thought that Michael Landon Jr.’s role in “Little House on the Prairie” all those years ago would lead to this incredible reunion?


Next year, it’s anticipated that When Calls the Heart, the beloved American-Canadian TV series based on Janette Oke’s book, will feature a mini reunion similar to Little House on the Prairie. This exciting news surfaced during the broadcast of Season 11.

With the recent announcement, there is a buzz among fans and devotees of the series about whether Melissa Gilbert, known for her role as Laura Ingalls Wilder, might make an appearance in the 12th season of “When Calls the Heart”.

As per a recent announcement, it’s been confirmed that Gilbert will make a guest appearance in two episodes during the forthcoming season, expected to debut in 2025. In this new role, she’ll portray Georgie McGill, who has an intriguing past connection with one significant resident of Hope Valley.

As a devoted admirer, I’m thrilled about my upcoming role in When Calls the Heart, as it shares a unique link with Little House on the Prairie. You see, Michael Landon Jr., the executive producer of this heartwarming series, is the son of Michael Landon, who brought the beloved character Pa (Charles Ingalls) to life in the iconic family show that graced our screens from 1974 to 1983. In a delightful twist, Melissa Gilbert, who embodied Laura Ingalls Wilder in Little House on the Prairie, is set to join us, fulfilling the wishes of many fans.

The concept for the Hallmark cameo was first thought up during the Little House on the Prairie 50th Anniversary Cast Reunion and Festival held in March 2024. It’s worth mentioning that Michael Landon Jr., who previously starred in two episodes of Little House on the Prairie back in 1977, will be making a special appearance. This adds an extra thrill to Melissa Gilbert’s upcoming guest role, creating a delightful connection for fans.

The long-running original show from Hallmark, “When Calls the Heart,” will have its Season 12 in 2025, as reported by Deadline. Meanwhile, apart from her famous character in this series, the Emmy-nominated actress Gilbert has also held the position of president at the Screen Actors Guild, created a lifestyle brand called Modern Prairie, and is an accomplished author with bestselling books on the New York Times list.

Wow, I simply can’t believe it! This ardent fan here has been keeping tabs, and let me tell you, season 11 of my beloved romantic period drama is breaking records as the most-watched cable series this year, among homes, total viewers, and women aged 18 and over. Simply astonishing!
