Q: We have watched all 11 seasons of the series “Heartland” on Netflix (twice) and hear they have produced seasons 12 and 13. Do you know when these will be available on Netflix? -- E.S.

A: “Heartland” tells the story of two sisters and their grandfathe­r looking after their ranch. It’s a Canadian series, but was introduced to American viewers through Netflix, with the first 11 seasons available for streaming. As you wrote, there are two additional seasons that aired through the CBC in Canada. From what I could find out, the 12th installmen­t should be available on Netflix this fall. In fact, the website “What’s On Netflix” reported in June that it was expected by August. However, like most things in 2020, it’s been delayed. For updates, check out Whats-onNetflix.com.

Q: We rented the excellent World War II movie “Dunkirk” this past weekend. I don’t remember it in theaters. Did it win any Academy Awards? It should have. -- T.R.

A: “Dunkirk,” directed by Christophe­r Nolan (“Inception,” “The Dark Knight”), was released in 2017 and was awarded Oscars for Best Achievemen­t in Sound Mixing, Sound Editing and Film Editing, but the Best Picture Oscar was elusive. Although “Dunkirk” lost to Guillermo del Toro’s “The Shape of Water,” it was still a fantastic movie about the rescue of trapped Allied soldiers from a beach in France. The biggest names in the film are Tom Hardy and Kenneth Branagh, but actor Fionn Whitehead, who played the lead young British soldier, gave a heart-wrenching performanc­e.
