After a fan backlash, season 3 of family time-twister The Way Home, starring Chyler Leigh, Andie MacDowell and Sadie Laflamme-Snow, will premiere first on Hallmark’s main channel this January not on its new streamer Hallmark+.
Production on season 3 wrapped last month in Ontario.
What’s The Way Home about?
Divorced journalist Kat Landry (Chyler Leigh) and her teen daughter Alice (Sadie Laflamme-Snow) return home to Port Haven, New Brunswick, to live with Kat’s estranged mother Del (Andie Macdowell) on the family farm with a mysterious time-travelling pond.
In season 2, Kat searched for her younger brother Jacob who west missing as a boy after he fell into the pond and was transported into the distant past. She found him a grown man in 1814 Port Haven and in the season finale adult Jacob ((Spencer Macpherson) came home.
Season 3 picks up where season two left off – with Kat (Chyler Leigh) and her brother Jacob (Spencer Macpherson), who went missing more than two decades ago at the age of eight and is now an adult, poised to walk into the Landry home to an unsuspecting Del (Andie MacDowell).
Viewers will be introduced to a groovy new era when the pond transports Kat and Alice to 1974 – the year Del and Colton (Jefferson Brown) first met as teens and their epic love story began.
Alice is befriended by a young, spritely Evelyn Goodwin (Devon Cecchetto) but their budding friendship complicates Alice’s relationship with Del, who wants her memories of Colton to remain the way they are. Meanwhile, Kat attempts to close the door on the 1800s after making startling discoveries. In the present day she and Elliot (Evan Williams) navigate a new chapter in their relationship, while he finds himself faced with his own complicated past.
