Following fan demands, Hallmark has reversed its decision regarding the airing of The Way Home season 3. The network had previously announced that the hit sci-fi family drama series was going to be aired on Hallmark's streaming site.
However, following backlash from fans, the network has reversed this decision, and the popular drama series will premiere its third season as usual on The Hallmark Channel on January 3, 2025, at 9 PM ET. It will be available to stream on Hallmark Plus the next day.
The Way Home is a sci-fi drama that ended its second installment on a cliffhanger in March 2024. Fans have been waiting for long with anticipation to find out what happens next.

When and where to watch The Way Home?
Reversing its initial release decision of releasing the new season only on Hallmark Plus, the network announced that The Way Home season 3 will now premiere as usual on The Hallmark Channel on January 3, 2025, at 9 PM ET.
According to the usual release schedule, it will then become available to stream on the Hallmark Plus streaming site the next day. This decision comes following dissatisfied and angry responses from viewers on social media who opposed this decision and demanded that the usual release schedule be followed.
This sudden decision to release the upcoming season directly on the streaming platform was a tactic that the network used to boost subscriptions for its streaming platform using a flagship title. However, fans would have none of it and expressed their frustration with this switch as this would require them to unnecessarily pay extra to watch their favorite show's latest season.
Cast list for season 3
The returning and new cast members for The Way Home season 3 are as follows:
- Chyler Leigh as Katherine "Kat" Landry Dhawan
- Sadie Laflamme-Snow as Alice Dhawan
- Andie MacDowell as Del Landry
- Evan Williams as Elliot Augustine
- Jefferson Brown as Colton Landry
- Spencer Macpherson as Jacob Landry
- Kris Holden-Ried as Thomas Coyle
- Julia Tomasone as Teen Del
- Jordan Doww as Teen Colton
- Devin Cecchetto as Teen Evelyn
Plot details for The Way Home season 3 explored
Season 3 will pick up from where season 2 left off. It will show Kat and her brother Jacob, who was missing for more than two decades at the age of eight but is now an adult, ready to walk into the Landry home to an unsuspecting Del.
At the series' ATX TV Festival panel in June 2024, showrunner Alexandra Clarke revealed that, like the previous season, season 3 will begin with a time jump. According to Variety, Clarke said:
"We definitely can confirm that we do have to do a time jump, purely because of when we shoot."
After the shocking cliffhanger finale that season 2 delivered, there is indeed a lot to catch up on in season 3. In the last installment, viewers see that Elliot expresses his true feelings for Kat, but she is not quite ready to choose him. Her decision was heavily influenced by the fact that she had just learned that her 19th-century lover, Thomas, was still alive.
Season 2 also made a big revelation—Colton is also a time traveler. This opens up a vast range of possibilities for the plot to move forward in the third season. With more characters beginning their own time-travel journeys, season 3 of The Way Home will indeed be packed with emotional intrigue and adventures.
Don't miss The Way Home season 3 on Hallmark this January 2, 2025.
