The first five seasons of When Calls the Heart are no longer available to watch on Netflix. While fielding questions from disappointed Hearties, the show's official Instagram account confirmed that there are no plans to release the sixth and seventh seasons on Netflix — ever. Keep in mind that this news only applies to American viewers; the show is still available on Netflix for other countries, such as Canada and United Kingdom.

The show has never been available to stream on Hulu, and as of right now, it doesn't look like that'll change anytime soon.

Where you can stream "When Calls the Heart"

Even though you can't count on Netflix and Hulu to get your Hope Valley fix, there are tons of other streaming services available to you. All of these options, however, require you to pay for each episode or season, which means you'll have to shell out some money upfront. The silver lining: You'll own the episodes, so you can re-watch them as often as you'd like.

Here's where you can stream When Calls the Heart right now:

Amazon: Buy individual episodes for $2.99 or get an entire season for $19.99. All seven seasons are available to stream, and the season 8 episodes will be available to purchase the day after it airs on TV.

VUDU: By far, the most cost-friendly option out there. The price of each season varies, starting as low as $12.99 for season 2.

iTunes: Although you can buy each season for $19.99, you'll save big by picking up the season 1- 6 bundle for $59.99. Season 7 is slightly more expensive, priced at $21.99 for all 10 episodes.

Google Play: Purchase individual episodes from seasons 1 - 7 for $1.99 each, or get a whole season for anywhere from $12.99 to $18.99.
