The Way Home Season 4: Will It Happen? Everything We Know

Hallmark's unique time-travel drama series The Way Home has wandered back for its third season, but will the show score a season 4 renewal? Created for the small screen by Heather Conkie, Alexandra Clarke, and Marly Reed, the show concerns three generations of women from the Landry family as they try to rebuild their fractured relationship while living together in a small Canadian town. While that may sound like the usual Hallmark Channel fodder, the big twist is that the Landry women are also time travelers who can visit the past via a pond on their family property.

Though the time-travel romance genre was popularized by shows like Outlander, The Way Home puts a cozier spin on the idea without skimping on suspense. Each season of the series thus far has introduced new wrinkles into its supernatural elements, and this makes for a fascinating watch. On top of that, new twists and turns mean that The Way Home can continue into the future with more seasons, especially as things get more tangled and complicated. While the Hallmark original series seems like a sure thing, the network has yet to renew The Way Home for an additional season.

New episodes of The Way Home arrive every Friday at 9pm EST on the Hallmark Channel.

The Way Home Season 4 Is Not Confirmed

Hallmark Hasn't Found Its Way Home Yet

Considering the swift and resounding renewal order that the show received for season 3, it seems like it's only a matter of time before The Way Home is green-lit for a fourth. However, Hallmark has yet to make that call, and they are likely waiting to see how the third season is received before making any decisions for the future. A multi-season renewal is the ultimate sign of a show's popularity and success, but they are also exceedingly rare in modern TV. When the renewal does eventually come, it probably won't arrive until the end of season 3.

If the series is renewed for a fourth season, it's unclear if Hallmark will try to make it a streaming exclusive like they did before the arrival of season 3

One uncertainty is exactly how Hallmark plans to broadcast the show going forward. If the series is renewed for a fourth season, it's unclear if Hallmark will try to make it a streaming exclusive like they did before the arrival of season 3. Much to the chagrin of viewers, Hallmark attempted to switch The Way Home to a Hallmark+ exclusive, forgoing a traditional TV broadcast for the time being. This caused an immediate uproar, and the network reversed their decision. However, if the network wants to pump up their signature streamer, they may make the switch for season 4.

The Way Home season 3 premiered on Friday, January 3, 2025.

Close

Regardless of what happens throughout season 3, there are three guaranteed returns for the cast of The Way Home season 4. Anchoring the series through all three seasons thus far, Andie MacDowell will be back as family matriarch Delilah "Del" Landry. Likewise, she'll be joined by Chyler Leigh as Katherine "Kat" Landry Dhawan, Del's daughter and the mother of Alice. Speaking of, Alice will once again be played by Sadie Laflamme-Snow. Another near-certain return is that of Evan Williams as Elliot, especially since he still carries a torch for Kat. Jefferson Brown will also likely be back as Colton Landry.

The time-travel aspects of the show's story open the door for the introduction of new characters, though the series also likes to explore the main characters' pasts as well. In season 3, this introduced Julia Tomasone as the teen version of Del and Jordan Doww as teen Colton, and season 4 could continue to explore their younger selves. However, anything besides the core cast is pure speculation until more information is available.

The presumptive cast of The Way Home season 4 includes:

What Waits On The Other Side Of The Pond

Though the events of season 3 will undoubtedly change the entire paradigm of the show, there are a few things that can already be predicted about season 4's story. First, any shocking twist ending found in season 3 will instigate a time jump to start the fourth season. Since season 2, the show has followed a format where the new season opens with a time jump before going back to catch the viewer up on what happened in between. More time-travel shockers are likely in store as well, and Colton can't be the only surprise time-traveler in The Way Home.
