‘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?

I agree with you great show

Yes bring back The Way Home Season 4 to see what happens with everyone. Hopefully Kat and Elliot will tie the knot. Please don’t send Jacob back to the 1800’s and leave him there. He is needed by his family in the present time and to be happy and helpful to them since he missed his childhood with them. Susanna has become strong in the 1800’s and taken over there. That was so good!

O
No Thomas comes future marrys kat
-
G
How would you know that? I hope its not true i like Kat and Elite dont like Thomas..

I hope I don't have to wait a year. I watch it on Peacock. I could watch it over again to make sure I'm not missing anything 🧡😂 I love Thomas and Elite.

G
I agree. I ❤️ THE WAY HOME. I'VE WATCHED IT 6 TIMES SO FAR, ALL 3 SEASONS. WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE THOMAS AND KAT TOGETHER FOREVER
-
O
ME too

The best series that I have watched in years. Please keep writing and producing this show. I love the twist and turns. It is unreal that writers and storytellers still exist in a way that makes this show so compelling and powerful.
-
B
Love this show!! Please renew for the 4th season plus many more seasons.. so many story lines are possible...
-
G
I'm so obsessed with this show...I wait for my kids and husband to go to bed, just so the show has my full attention, even though I'm dying to watch it. It's so different to other shows and I enjoy the creativity and excitement it brings with each episode. I really do hope this show lasts a long time.
-
O
Oh hon I totally feel the same way! Watching this show was so care!
-
-
O
Please continue The Way Home for season 4, and more if possible. But, do a fourth one to wrap things up nicely and not leave the audience hanging.
-
C
Oh come on... people who have cable.... fewer and fewer these days.... all can DVR... So having Friday night is no big deal to DVR it... not that complicated... the Hallmark+ option is valuable for fans who are cord cutters... Plus there is the Peacock option...

I pray that the Lord leaves me here for season 4 I just rewatched all seasons and it was like God was writing everything I'm thinking and feeling right now, just a month after being told I have late stage kidney cancer that has metastasized into other areas.

Love this show one of the best shows hallmark has very entertaining and great cast please continue giving us more seasons 🌟🌟
-

My family and I are loving The Way Home. I like that it's on Friday evening now. Too much going on Sunday evenings. Never could get into When Calls the Heart. Please continue with this amazing series. Love the Hallmark channels. Always looking forward for the upcoming season.
-

Would love for The Way Home to go as long as it can be written. Great show with many twists and turns. But keep it on Hallmark indefinitely, some can't afford streaming channels. Too good to miss.
Thank you all for this wonderful show.
-
P
You have to bring back The Way Home for season 4 and many more beyond. There is a huge fan base and viewership would improve if the show aired exactly the same as it did the first two seasons. Moving it to Fridays and then streaming the following day, was a bad move. Sunday evenings, more people are at home with their families looking to watch something family friendly. Also, 10 episodes is too short a season. Most shows air more than that after their first "pilot" season. Please keep the show going and for more seasons with the same cast because that is what makes the show what it is.

I can’t believe Hallmark would end a super great miniseries of The Way Home. So many people enjoy watching the mini series of the Landry family. Please let there be more episodes of The Way Home.
-

Love this show I don’t want it to end. ☹️
-

I have fell in love with this show and wish you would keep making it. For the first time in a while I have found a show that is worth watching and it is going to end . There are a group of people out here who need shows like this because they are heart breaking but they are also joyful and it is hard to see what is coming next. So worth watching. Thank you 🙏

I think there are certain trends that tend to date a show and reduce its ability to stand the test of time. The “they, them” issue is going to wreck this one. It is annoying and distracting and is only going to become more so over time. Someone is going to wish they could really go back in time and fix the past.
-
B
If Thomas and Kat were together in the 1800s where would that leave Alice and all that has already been shown?
-
O
OMG!!! I streamed Seasons 1 - 3 straight! I couldn't even sleep and barely ate! I can't wait to for Season 4. Gonna cool down my brain for a couple days and watch it all again to make sure I didn't miss anything. One of my All Time Favorites! I love wholesome Hallmark Mysteries!

Conceived when Jacob went back to the 1800s after the vineyard incident, Casey is Jacob and Susanna’s child. Named after their mom, Casey looks so much like Jacob. This would also explain why they know so much about the will. Part of Susanna’s headstone was covered at the cemetery scene - it might also indicate “Mother.” Perhaps “Wife,” as well, since originally she and Jacob had intended to marry; maybe they do during future travels and conceived Casey during wedded bliss. Jacob has yet to learn he has a child. My theory, anyway!

I’m canceling my Hallmark+ as soon as the final episode of the way home ends. There NOT another series as good as The Way Home
-
K
Love The Way Home...have been going crazy trying to figure out what actor is playing Colton's older brother> He looks like William Ransom in Outlander...but that character is played by Charles Vandervaart, and I do not see his name in the Way Home cast for season 4. Help???
-
J
So glad they are bringing this show back. So many people were upset how it ended in season 3 and they had plenty of resources to make a season 4 and now we finally get it!
-
I
Imagine if she slept with Thomas and had his baby in current times?
-
B
kat should bring thomas back to her time and see if something can withstand the test of time for them. I love Elliott but he seems like he may care for his exwife still
-
D
It's so f-in confusing when you refer to an individual as a "they." Wth. Are we speaking of just Casey or more than one cast member? So stupid.
-
V
I was so thinking by now season 4 would be out since the following seasons came in January. Anyway I've gone back and binged watched all seasons again in anticipation. I hope Del can go back in time. I'm still trying to figure out who Sam is. He's too old to be the baby 🍼 😘 left on the porch. And if you go back in season 1 think it's episode 5 or 6 Kat went to see if Jacob's name was out of the book 📖. Look hard before Alice name there's someone named Taylor. ?????

Love this show, waiting impatiently for its return!
-
C
It’s a shame they did not renew this for more seasons.Hallmark is bad about cancelling shows that are so loved by so many. Mystery 101, and now The Way Home. It would not surprise me if they do the same to the Mistletoe Murders. I don’t know why they get rid of the good ones. My granddaughter and I just loved to watch the Way Home together.
-

Absolutely love this show. Love and innocence.... away from the horrible reality shows of today. I hope that Coltan some how finds his way home too. What an awesome ending to this series would be. Thank you to the writers! 🥰
-
C
This series has been amazing! The whole cast just take their roles so personally which makes the show so “ real”. I have always been interested in “ time travel”, this show does it so well! I’ll tell you; though i have never cried some much in my life over a tv program! Time after time after finishing up an episode; i couldn’t wait to see the next one. You kept me so intrigued. Can’t wait for the next season! Loved it that you found a way to bring Jacob finally home😀
-
G
I am so excited to see how season 4 unfolds!
-
G
I am impatiently waiting on season 4. I can not wait. I pray there is many more seasons. My kids even love it.
-
C
Pleeeeaaase bring back Thomas….If not for Kat, then for me! 🙂 Just kidding, I think there could be soooo much more to the story of Thomas and Kat….
-
O
cliffhangers at the end of the season like this are super irritating. I get there needs to be a lead in to the next season. But this is torture
-

Love this show! I am so excited about it...myfamily is always turning me on to this show or that show. Finally there is a show that i have watched first. So far, my step daughter watched the first five episodes with me..(was my second time watching it.) My daughter and my son are both going to start watching the first 3 seasons soon. My brother is eventually. Even my 97 year old mom is interested in this show! I am truly impressed!. It seems to be a good fit for everyone so far. Wow. I cant wait to see wherher or not my husband likes it. Ratings will likely go up just because of my extended family. As for me...i am almost finished with season 3 and i feel like it should be a crime not to bring season 4 back soon. Hallmark DEFINITELY NEEDS TO KEEP THIS SHOW.

I am hoping they bring back Thomas somehow, as he was a great part of Cat's life. I know they said 'goodbye' when the hose burnt down in 1816, but he never got to travel w/ a Landry (which is why he couldn't do it alone to follow Jacob). Hoping Elliot can find another love interest as well.
-
R
It’s taking too long. I don’t remember waiting that long for the other seasons.
-
G
the Writers of this show are family. I love, love, this show. their imaginations are amazing. so who are we curious about now?? Casey, Sam.. and we have to do something to help enchant us with Elliot. i'm torn between Noah, and Max. older questions: what was Vic's origignal beef with the Landrys? .. omg.. characters i want to hear more about: Fern, Claire Bear, Rachel.. best of luck.. health.. and happiness for those who created this show. <3
