The Way Home is my first dip into the Hallmark Channel. Back in March, the series for a third season, which is planned to premiere in 2025.
The series is a time travel drama about the lives of three generations of strong, wilful and independent Landry family women who embark on a journey to find their way back to each other while learning important lessons about their family's past.
Evan Williams stars as Elliot "El" Augustine, with David Webster as teenage and young adult Elliot Augustine alongside Sadie Laflamme-Snow as Alice "Ali" Dhawan.
And finally, familiar face Andie MacDowell as, mother, matriarch Delilah "Del" Landry.
More than 20 years prior, life changing events prompted Kat to move away from her small Canadian farm town of Port Haven, and she remains estranged from Del to this day. Alice has never met her grandmother and is unaware of the reasons for their fractured family. With Kat's marriage coming to an end and having just been laid off from her job, she decides to return home after receiving an unexpected letter from Del urging her to come back.
Although Alice is none too thrilled, Kat and her daughter arrive at her family's farm, though the reunion isn't what Kat had envisioned. As the three generations of women slowly work on finding their footing as a family, they embark on an enlightening—and surprising—journey none of them could have imagined as they learn how to find their way back to each other.
Does it sound a little silly? Well it is and it isn't. HBO did a TV series of the Time Travellers Wife a while back, which wasn't half bad. Maybe cause that hunk of burning love Theo James was the lead. But hey!
I am late to the party, smashing both seasons back-to-back. Season one landed mid-January 2023, with season two landing this January.
Would I advise watching both seasons back-to-back? Well they are super easy, 40 minute an episode watches. The scenery in Canada is stunning, it's easy to follow, however the second half going back, way back is a little more tedious.
So with season three hopefully to land in January of next year (on Binge), where does season two leave us? Well, Del makes arrangements to sell the farm. Alice and Elliott try a new theory on how the pond works and they are able to travel back together. Out of their trio they find something that helps Del and Kat mend old fences.
It's a lot to take on.
While enjoyable, I am not sure how many seasons this can continue for. It has serious chick-flick energy. If you want something light and fluffy. This maybe totally up your back alley.
