‘The Way Home’ Sets Final Season Premiere Date — Who’s Joining the Cast?

With a pond that takes the Landrys where they need — not want — to go, the possibilities are endless for The Way Home. And while we’re still waiting to see what it has in store for Del (Andie MacDowell), Kat (Chyler Leigh), Alice (Sadie Laflamme-Snow), and Elliot (Evan Williams), both in the present and the past, there’s some big news about its future: The series is ending, and we now know when the final season will premiere.

The Way Home Season 4 will premiere on Sunday, April 19, at 9/8c, on the Hallmark Channel and be available to stream the next day on Hallmark+. Along with that news on February 12 came the announcement that new cast members include Bianca Melchior as young Fern Landry, Gabriel Hogan as Grayson Goodwin, and Dan Jeannotte as Port Haven’s new Temperance Inspector Cliff Kane.

Below, we’re taking a look at everything we know about The Way Home Season 4, including what could happen, who could return, and more.

When was The Way Home renewed for Season 4?

Hallmark Media announced the renewal on March 6, the day before the Season 3 finale.

“We’re so thrilled. It’s such a lovely thing to be able to do this again. It really is a family, this cast and crew and the team at Hallmark, and it’s such a rare gift to be able to do this for a fourth time and we’re so, so grateful that we do get that,” executive producer Alexandra Clarke told TV Insider. “We’re very, very lucky,” added exec producer Heather Conkie.

“Our talented writing staff led by the mother-daughter showrunning team of Heather Conkie and Alexandra Clarke continues to amaze us as they raise the bar each season,” said Samantha DiPippo, Senior Vice President, Programming, Hallmark Media, in a statement. “Their carefully crafted storytelling filled with family drama, romance and an absorbing mystery has enthralled the show’s passionate fanbase and has made The Way Home appointment television. We can’t wait for them to see where the pond takes our time travelers as their journey continues.”

Is The Way Home ending with Season 4?

Yes. It was revealed on Thursday, November 20, 2025, that the upcoming fourth season will be the farewell for the Landry family.

“Fans of The Way Home have enthusiastically watched and rewatched every episode since the first pond jump of season 1 as they’ve tried to piece together the brilliant puzzle Heather Conkie, Alexandra Clarke and Marly Reed expertly crafted,” Samantha DiPippo, SVP of programming at Hallmark Media, said in a statement to People. “We’re grateful to our talented cast led by Andie, Chyler, Evan and Sadie, as well as our amazing writers and crew who have worked so hard on this show.”

When will The Way Home Season 4 premiere?

The Way Home Season 4 will premiere on Sunday, April 19, at 9/8c, on the Hallmark Channel. It will be available to stream the next day on Hallmark+.

How did The Way Home Season 3 set up Season 4?

The Season 3 finale was reveal after reveal after reveal: Elliot was the baby in the basket, and his mother time traveled via the pond with a Landry; Colton (Jefferson Brown) found out Alice is his granddaughter and knew who Kat was when he died; Casey (Vaughan Murrae) isn’t Alice’s kid from the future; and Jacob left and Sam (Rob Stewart) stood at the pond as he told Del it will be okay.

What will happen in The Way Home Season 4?

At San Diego Comic-Con in July 2025, Leigh revealed Kat will head to 1925, where a riddle from last season will play out.

Hallmark Media also released the following description of the season: “New journeys and revelations await the Landry family across generations. At the beginning of Season 4, Alice (Laflamme-Snow) is about to graduate high school, Kat (Leigh) and Elliot (Williams) dream of the next steps for their relationship while Del (MacDowell) realizes she will soon be an empty-nester again. But Del, Kat, Alice and Elliot should know by now that no matter how hard they try to focus on the future, the past is never gone. As more mysteries are unearthed, the Port Haven of the past and the Landry family of generations before might just contain the answers they seek.”

Who will be in the Way Home Season 4 cast?

MacDowell, Leigh, Laflamme-Snow, Williams, and Macpherson will be back for the fourth season. Julia Tomasone, Jordan Doww, and Devin Cecchetto will also return.

We assume Murrae has to be back as Casey, since while we know they use the pond to time travel, we don’t know who they are exactly to the Landrys in the present just yet. And Stewart has to return as Sam, Del’s love interest, to answer the questions the finale set up about him.

With time traveling now taking them to 1925 comes the introductions of Bianca Melchior as young Fern Landry, Gabriel Hogan as Grayson Goodwin, and Dan Jeannotte as Port Haven’s new Temperance Inspector Cliff Kane.

Will The Way Home Season 4 reveal who Casey is?

It sure sounds like it! Casey is a time traveler, so they have to have some Landry blood in them, but while Alice was so sure they were her kid, they revealed in the finale that’s not the case.

“We realized early on that there was a way we could reveal all about Casey in our Episode 10, but we held back because it is such a lovely reveal and we didn’t want it to just be yet another reveal in this episode of reveals,” Clarke told TV Insider. There’s so much more story to tell with Casey. … They really could be anyone is the best part. They’ve got a little bit of Goodwin, they’ve got a little bit of Augustine, they’ve got a little bit of Landry. And I think it’s lovely to see the viewers continue to guess at who they actually are. The answer will be shared, of course it will. But I think there’s more story to tell and there’s more story to earn us that reveal rather than just kind of throw it away. It’s too big and important a reveal to just throw away in a quick scene in a finale episode. So I will say that they are telling the truth about not being Alice’s kid.”

And when we asked about any questions that will definitely be answered in Season 4, she said, “I think we can safely say that the Casey of it all — their identity, their story — the curtain will be pulled back on that in a bigger way next season for sure. I think the other lingering questions about Sam or the letters or all the things we let hang at the end of this year, they will be addressed, no question about it. We are very aware of the questions we left unanswered at the end of Season 3 going into Season 4, and I hope that our viewers trust us enough to know that we will 100 percent address ’em all.”

Is there a Way Home Season 4 trailer?

Not yet.
