The Way Home has been renewed for a third season on Hallmark Channel. The family drama series has been a hit for the network since its 2023 debut. So, it’s not a surprise the show secured a season 3 prior to the second season’s finale. Get details on the news below, including cast reactions to the pickup, plus a recap of seasons 1 and 2 of The Way Home.
The Way Home follows Kat Landry (Chyler Leigh) and her teen daughter Alice Dhawan (Sadie Laflamme-Snow) as they move in with estranged grandma Del (Andie MacDowell). Escaping the tension, Alice explores the farm and finds herself on a surprising journey. All three women must confront their pasts to allow themselves to move forward into the future, whether that be in professional endeavors or personal relationships. Along the way, they’ll meet new people and discover how to rebuild connections with each other.
In season 1, Alice discovered she could time travel through her grandmother’s pond on the farm. She was transported back to the late 90s and early 2000s when her mother was a teenager. There, Alice befriended a teenaged Kat and her friend Elliot. Plus, she met her grandfather, who died before she was born in the present day. In this time traveled state, Alice also investigated her uncle Jacob’s disappearance.
Meanwhile, in the present day, Kat discovered the time traveling pond, and went back to when her father and brother were both still alive. Present day Elliot also revealed his longstanding crush on Kat. However, Kat discovered her brother Jacob fell into the pond and so she went back to get him. But, this time she traveled back to 1814 and found Jacob to be an engaged adult. When Kat tried to reach him, her efforts made Jacob get captured.
Kat discovered Jacob was imprisoned by Cyrus, a mansion owner. With help from her 1814 friends, Kat rescued Jacob and continued to go back and forth in time. Meanwhile, Kat’s mom, Del, found a horse belonging to her new neighbor, Sam. But, she initially ignored the attraction between them due to memories of her late husband, Colton. She was torn between letting Colton go and letting Sam in.
Alice struggled to feel normal amidst her time traveling abilities. But, things started to look up for her when she developed a crush on Noah, a coffee shop patron. For her mother, Kat, things were pretty complicated for a while. Kat found her focus to be on 1814, including the handsome Thomas Coyle. When she discovered he sacrificed himself for Jacob, Kat raced to find him and left present day Elliot in the dust.
When she arrived, Jacob told her that he wanted to return to the present, and that Thomas was still alive. In the meantime, Elliot theorized that they could only travel back in time with a Landry family member. So, he and Alice put the theory to the test and ended up at his 2007 graduation with teenaged Kat. In the final scene, fans saw Colton and a young Jacob at a fire on graduation night. But, when the man turned around, it was Colton and not Elliot, who originally traveled back in time.
Sadie Snow, who plays Alice on the show, posted this lovely, celebratory tribute to Instagram. “see you next season 🫶🏼🏠 if you work on this show i love you, if you watch this show i love you and if you are about to binge seasons 1 & 2 and join the party i love you too!! i love being alice with everything i’ve got and you don’t even know how grateful and thrilled i am to DIVE back in with my way home family for season 3 (pun intended) bye from your alice (for now) xx #thewayhome.”
Chyler Leigh, who portrays Kat, echoed her onscreen daughter’s sentiments, writing: “I love this project so much and I’m so happy I get to share this journey with all of you!” Shock and surprised reactions were also had by their fellow co-stars Evan Williams (Elliot) and Andie MacDowell (Del). You can see their reactions below.
“Our cast, writers and entire crew have used their impressive talents to create a story that is just as compelling and addictive as the first season,” Lisa Hamilton Daly of Hallmark Media told Deadline. “We’re grateful to the fans who are so passionate about the series and can’t wait for them to see what and when is ahead for Season 3.”
There is no premiere date set for The Way Home season 3 right now. But, it is expected to premiere in 2025, so filming will most likely commence later this year. Be sure to follow the show and cast on Instagram to keep up to date with the new season.
