‘The Way Home’ Season 3 Premiere Gets Major Update — When Will It Air on Hallmark Channel?
UPDATE (12/16/2024):
There’s a major update to the Season 3 premiere of The Way Home!
While it was initially announced that the new season would premiere on Hallmark+ first, on January 2, 2025, with the linear premiere on Hallmark Channel not coming until fall 2025, that’s no longer the case.
Hallmark has announced that “due to overwhelming demand,” now, The Way Home Season 3 will premiere on Hallmark Channel on Friday, January 3, 2025, at 9/8c, with episodes streaming the next day on Hallmark+.
Original story (11/25/2024):
The Way Home is moving to streaming for its upcoming third season—but there’s a twist!
The third season of the time-travel drama will premiere on Hallmark+ on January 2, 2025—and then premiere on the Hallmark Channel in fall 2025.
“Heather Conkie, Alexandra Clarke and Marly Reed’s incredible storytelling continues to amaze us,” Kate Redinger, senior director of programming, Hallmark Media, said in a statement. “Each season brilliantly builds on the one before and this season promises to be the best one yet. With the intriguing new characters they’ve created and riveting storylines, viewers are in for another enthralling season.”
The Way Home stars Andie MacDowell, Chyler Leigh, Evan Williams, and Sadie Laflamme-Snow. The Season 2 finale, which aired in March, ended with Kat (Leigh) being surprised when her brother Jacob (Spencer MacPherson) returned to the present, rather than stay in the past, and with them about to reveal he was alive—and where he’d been—to their mother, Del (MacDowell) was about to be told about how their family can time travel using the pond on their property.
“What’s the conversation going to be once they get in there? Keep in mind he’s wearing clothes from a different era,” executive producer Alex Clarke told TV Insider after the Season 2 finale. “How do you explain that? In the writers’ room, we know what’s going to unfold if and when she gets them into that kitchen. But I think that’s something the viewers will definitely be waiting on as a big reveal next year.”
Added executive producer Heather Conkie, “Huge reveal, whether Del knew something or nothing or something in her past tweaks that she remembers something. But yeah, that’s the big reveal of Season 3 for sure.”
Speaking of that ability of their family’s, a glimpse into the past revealed that Kat’s father Colton (Jefferson Brown) can time travel, too!
The new Season 3 picks up where the finale left off, “with Kat and her brother Jacob, 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,” Hallmark teases. “Viewers will be introduced to a groovy new era when the pond transports Kat and Alice to 1974 – the year Del and Colton (Brown) first met as teens and their epic love story began. Alice is befriended by a young, spritely Evelyn Goodwin (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 (Williams) navigate a new chapter in their relationship, while he finds himself faced with his own complicated past.” Julia Tomasone and Jordan Doww will play the teen versions of Del and Colton.

I’m not happy with the move to Hallmark plus. I get three Hallmark channels right now. I don’t want to have to pay for another streaming service in order to watch the show nor do I want to have to wait all the way till next fall when I have already been waiting months for it. Very disappointing.

Stations, programmers, streaming services, etc. can continue this until the masses can no longer support paying phenomenal increases for shows on channels we already pay for - to now "upgrade again" to see. Eventually, people in frustration will just disconnect. If you keep raising the bar to these new cost levels... we'll just read about the episodes (when they come out in January) instead of waiting 9 more months to be second class citizens. You are taking advantage of the same people who helped make this show grow by telling our friends, relatives, and other women to watch it. The way I feel is, if we add Hallmark + you will just raise the bar again and create a Hallmark ++ and so on and so on.
I don't need to time travel to know how this will end, and it saddens me that I can't afford this new change to watch my favorite show.

How unfair and greedy of Hallmark to make this change. We pay enough to watch television with your channels on them but yet that’s not enough you have to move this series to Hallmark + so we would have to pay extra or wait till the fall. I believe I’m done with Hallmark.

That is so disappointing. A lot of us have older tech and older tvs which make streaming very difficult. Also watching something on basic cable is not a bad thing. Have seen more comments from people who are waiting till the fall to watch it. It also is sad because those numbers won't go into their ratings before a renewal decision will need to be made 😕😢😞😔

First of all, The Way Home was a Canadian series before Hallmark bought it. I sm incredulous that we are not going to see Season 3 in Canada at all! We don’t have Hallmark+!!!
