UPtv SETS PREMIERE DATES FOR THREE UPCOMING SCRIPTED SERIES

HEARTLAND SEASON 15 WILL DEBUT ON THE NETWORK MAY 19 WITH MYSTIC AND THE WEDDING PLANNERS LAUNCHING IN JUNE

NEW MOVIES WILL CONTINUE TO PREMIERE EVERY SUNDAY NIGHT

ATLANTA - April 21, 2022 - UPtv, the television destination for uplifting entertainment, announced three upcoming scripted series to the network's programming slate. In addition to debuting a premiere movie every Sunday night as part of the "Love Sundays" programming destination, UPtv will premiere the new season of fan-favorite series Heartland on Thursday, May 19 at 8 p.m. ET (10 episodes) followed by the U.S. debut of Mystic on Thursday, June 2 at 9 p.m. ET (13 episodes) and miniseries The Wedding Planners on Friday, June 3 at 8 p.m. ET (8 episodes). The Wedding Planners will be part of the network's month-long June Grooms programming stunt.

Heartland, the 5th most streamed series in 2021 according to a recent Nielsen report*, is set in the rolling foothills of the Rockies in the fictional town of Hudson, Alberta. While some journeys end, others are just beginning. The Bartlett-Fleming family has learned a hard lesson: life is short, and you have to live each day to the fullest. In Season 15, they will put what they learned into practice. Last season, Amy said goodbye to the past. This season, she embraces the future - raising her daughter and working with the horses who continue to heal her while branching out into a new phase of her life and profession. She is moving forward and feels determined to leave a legacy. In fact, Jack, Lisa, Lou and Tim have all decided that now is not the time to pull back, but to ramp up, to create new dreams and fulfill old ones. And, as they always do, the family will pull together to help each other... and will ultimately end up stronger than ever. Heartland stars Amber Marshall, Michelle Morgan, Shaun Bartlett, Chris Potter and Baye McPherson.

Set on the fictional peninsula of Kauri Point, New Zealand, Mystic tells the story of Issie Brown and her new-found friendships with the town's teen horse riders, and their efforts to save Kauri Point from an industrial development that threatens it. Originally launched internationally in 2020, Mystic stars Macey Chipping, Laura Patch, Cathy Downes, Kirk Torrance, Antonia Robinson and Max Crean.

The Wedding Planners revolves around Paige, James and Hannah Clarkson when they inherit their mother's wedding business and quickly become passionate about the most important day of a couple's life... planning beautiful, one-of-a-kind weddings. The Wedding Planners is a Canadian series starring Kimberly-Sue Murray, Madeline Leon and Michael Seater.
