The Hallmark TV series called "When Hope Calls" premieres tonight at 8 p.m but you'll need Super Channel Heart & Home, or stream it on Hallmark Movies Now. 

The plot sees sisters Lillian and Grace face disapproval when they establish an orphanage in Lillian's hometown. But when a fire breaks out, they are swept up in the community's effort to prevent the blaze from engulfing the town.

It stars Morgan Kohan, Jocelyn Hudon, and RJ Hatanaka.

The set depicts the early 1900s town of Brookfield but the rustic "Wild West" town's set, was built literally in the middle of a secluded farm field in Powassan.

“We built this for our TV series, which we are hoping to have multiple seasons with, but there have been inquiries about filming here,” said David Anselmo, President of Hideaway Pictures.  

“There are not a lot of sets of this kind in Ontario or in Canada so we are getting phone calls. I do believe it will attract more productions to the region because now we have a set that is very unique that was not here before.”
