18/10/2018

SHERMAN OAKS, Calif., Sept. 26, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cinedigm (NASDAQ: CIDM) announced today the acquisition of seasons one through 10 of the popular family-friendly drama Heartland. The series will make its Dove Channel debut in October. Rights to Heartlandwere acquired from international distributor Kew Media Distribution.

Based on Lauren Brooke's hit book series of the same name, Heartland follows Amy Fleming and her estranged sister Lou, who are suddenly reunited when their mother's tragic death forces Lou to leave behind her relationship and career in New York City for the rigors of Heartland Ranch. Together, with their grandfather, Jack Bartlett, and loyal ranch hand Ty Borden, Amy and Lou work to adapt to their new circumstances and rebuild their relationship while dealing with the trials and tribulations of life on the ranch.

Heartland stars Amber Marshall, Michelle Morgan, Graham Wardle, and Shaun Johnston, and features notable guest appearances by Arrow star Stephen Amell and horror icon Katharine Isabelle, as well as Beau Mirchoff (Awkward), Keegan Connor Tracy (Once Upon A Time), Benjamin Hollingsworth (Code Black), and Kari Matchett (Covert Affairs), among others. The series is the longest-running 60-minute scripted drama in Canadian television history.

For more than a decade, Heartland has stood as one of Canada's most popular television series of all time-resonating with viewers for its powerful storylines and realistic characters, said Erick Opeka, Cinedigm's Executive Vice President of Digital Networks.
