American drama television series When Hope Calls Season 2 will be premiering with its first episode on April 6, 2025 on Great America Family. The first episode of Season 2 is already available to watch on PureFlix right now, but it will be bringing back the show to the small screen almost six years after its first season ended in 2019.
Going into When Hope Calls Season 2, fans can certainly expect to see a bunch of new characters and leads as well. This time around, instead of Morgan Kohan's Lillian Walsh and Jocelyn Hudon's Grace Bennett leading the series, the reins will be passed on to Cindy Busby and Christopher Russell who will be playing Nora Anderson and Mountie Michael "Fearless" Fletcher, respectively.
Alongside that, they will also be joined by Nick Bateman, Trevor Donovan, Sarah Fisher, and more in the series. Here is the entire cast list for the show:
Taking over the lead role in the series, actress Cindy Busby will be portraying the role of Nora Anderson - a girl who is visiting the two to meet her family. She will have a romance with Michael Fletcher - which will also become the primary plot of the show.
Busby has been an actor since she was a kid and has had quite the career. She played the role of Ashley Stanton in Canada's longest running show Heartland, and has also appeared in many Hallmark films such as A Whitewater Romance, Mr. Darcy, and more.
Starring alongside Cindy Busby in When Hope Calls Season 2 will be actor Christopher Russell who plays the role of Mountie Michael "Fearless" Fletcher. His romance with Nora will be the primary focus of the show this season around.
For those who don't know Russell, the actor has had quite a few notable roles in the past. His most famous work comes in starring in rom-coms and he recently appeared in A Costa Rican Wedding as well and starred in Operation Nutcracker too.
While Morgan Kohan's Lillian Walsh was the lead of the first season of the show, in When Hope Calls Season 2, she will be a secondary character as she passes the baton to Busby. She will be reprising her role again as Walsh and will be in a plot involved with Nora.
For those who don't know Kohan, she has been a major part of many CW series. Most notably, she guest starred in the DC superhero show Batwoman, and has also had a role in Star Trek: Discovery. Currently, she is also starring in Sullivan's Crossing.
Season 2 of the show will feature a recast as well, with actor Jon McLaren taking over the role of Sam Tremblay. Previously, actor Marshall Williams played the role of Sam, but he will be replaced this season.
Fans will know McLaren from many films like Chistmas on Windmill Way, A Novel Christmas, and more.
