‘THE WAY HOME’: WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THE FINAL SEASON
One of the favorite kind of “feel good” shows to arrive in the last five years is the Hallmark drama The Way Home, a show that inspires us to look at the “what we know” about this finale season. The show announced this year that it would be ending with this fourth season. Loved by viewers beyond just Hallmark (thanks to seasons one through three now on Netflix), the show is a three-generation story that spans centuries.

‘THE WAY HOME’: WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THE FINAL SEASON. What are you most excited to see? #TheWayHome #Hallmark Share on XFollowing the Landry women – Del, daughter Kat and her daughter Alice, the story starts when Kat returns home which changes everything. A pond on the family farm magically transports Alice to the past where she meets the teenage version of her mother just before the family not only loses Kat’s beloved brother Jacob in a disappearance case, but shortly after, Kat’s father dies.
From there, the story travels between past (which also includes trips further back including the 70s and 1800s) and present timelines. So, all this to say, let’s put together a little FAQ format of “what we know” about this fourth season of The Way Home.
WHAT WE KNOW about THE WAY HOME the final season
WHAT WILL the FOURTH SEASON be ABOUT?
According to the final season press release announcing its premiere date, this season will bring the women back to the pond for “more twists and turns” as the start of season four begins. The plotline further reads, in part, that this season will involve “new journeys and revelations” that will “await the Landry family across generations.”
The season also promises challenges for Del realizing she is about to be an empty-nester (again) and that plans for the future, no matter how good, somehow always brings everyone back to the past.
WHO is BACK for SEASON FOUR?
The primary cast will return in this fourth season. This includes Andie MacDowell, Chyler Leigh, Evan Williams, Sadie Laflamme-Snow and Spencer MacPherson.
The press release also announced that recurring stars (from season three) Julia Tomasone, Jordan Doww and Devin Cecchetto will again reprise their respective roles. New cast members will include Bianca Melchior and frequent Hallmark stars Gabriel Hogan and Dan Jeannotte have also joined the cast.
TIME TRAVEL
Everyone who watches this show knows that time travel is a big part of its plotting, so naturally, one has to question if (which is obviously yes) and where the show may take its characters! One can assume that revisiting the 70s may be in store since Julia Tomasone (who plays the younger Del) is returning, but there is more! A trip to the 1920s is also promised, making us wonder, is Kat on her way to the Roaring 20s?
IS THERE a TRAILER?
Check out the preview for season four (see it below!). And bookmark this page! We’ll update (this was updated on April 13, 2026) here as new details about this final season emerge.
In the meantime, take a look (again, because we all know Hallmark fans have seen it!) at the already released key art (see above) for the fourth season. We’ve added a few photos now that Hallmark released a few and watch the big outlets, because I suspect someone will wind up with an “exclusive” first look for this season!

The fourth and final season premieres on the network Sunday, April 19 (9:00 p.m. ET/PT), streams next day on Hallmark+.
You can watch seasons one – three of this show also on Hallmark+, and at publication, find the show (1 – 3) streaming on Netflix.
