The Way Home season 3 is back on Hallmark and we have all the details about the release date, how to watch it and what you might expect to see in the new episodes.
The Way Home season 3, which stars Andie MacDowell, Chyler Leigh and Evan Williams, was originally set to premiere exclusively on Hallmark+, Hallmark’s official streaming platform, on January 2, 2025 and wouldn’t air on cable on the Hallmark Channel until fall 2025. However, this outraged fans who took to Reddit and Facebook groups to express their frustration at being forced to subscribe to another streaming platform in order to watch the beloved show. Luckily, Hallmark listened to these frustrations.

Who Are the Cast of The Way Home Season 3?
The new season will welcome back all the original cast. Andie MacDowell plays Del Landry, Chyler Leigh plays her daughter Kat, Sadie Laflamme-Snow plays Del’s granddaughter, Alice, and Evan Williams is back as Kat’s longtime friend, Elliot. Season 3 will also welcome a few new exciting additions. Actors Julia Tomasone and Jordan Doww have joined the show as teenage Del and Colton and Devin Cecchetto has joined as teenage Evelyn.
Spencer Macpherson, who plays Kat’s brother Jacob, and Jefferson Brown, who plays Kat and Jacob’s father Colton Landry, are also confirmed in the new season.
What To Expect From The Way Home Season 3
As you can tell from above, having teenage Del and Colton in the show means season 3 will introduce a whole new storyline. As shown in the season 3 teaser, Kat (Leigh) and Alice (Laflamme-Snow) jump back into the pond and end up in 1974. “Visiting for the summer?” one driver of a 70s-decked-out van says. “Yeah, with my daughter,” Kat responds as she hops in.
In the 70s, in addition to meeting Del in this completely different phase in her life, they’ll watch Del and Colton meet for the very first time. “You’re Delilah Watson,” Colton says to his future wife during a fireside beach hangout. “Colton Landry.”
Also in the new timeframe, Alice will become friends with a young Evelyn Goodwin. “Their budding friendship complicates Alice’s relationship with Del, who wants her memories of Colton to remain the way they are,” the synopsis of the new season details.
Also coming up in season 3 will be more of Kat and Elliot’s bumpy relationship. “In the present day, [Kat] and Elliot navigate a new chapter in their relationship, while he finds himself faced with his own complicated past,” the blurb continues.
During a panel at the ATX TV Festival in June, showrunner Alexandra Conkie hinted at what that piece of Elliot’s past might be. When asked whether fans will be introduced to Elliot’s ex-wife, Conkie seemingly confirmed the speculation by responding, “Who have you been talking to?”
“I think there’s a lot of Elliott story left to tell,” creator Marly Reed added.
How Did The Way Home Season 2 End?
We have an official recap of The Way Home season 2 but among the bombshells that you need to remember is the reveal that Colton was a time-traveler himself. In a moment no fan could’ve expected, Colton was seen standing in the bushes watching himself with young Jacob (Remy Smith) at the summer kick-off before he disappeared in 1999.
Also in the finale, Elliot tested out his time-traveling theories and jumped into the pond with Alice. Proving his theories correct, he found himself in 1999 and shared a touching moment with Colton as he volunteered to help build young Elliot’s nook above the barn.
Another major question mark last season was about Casey Goodwin’s character (Vaughan Murrae). When they came over and saved the day by saying their family would no longer be buying the Landry farm, Kat noticed that the ring on their necklace looked suspiciously like her own engagement ring. Are they a Goodwin and a Landry too?
To answer all these questions and much more, tune in to the new season!
