Fans of The Way Home can breathe a sigh of relief—the beloved time-travel drama has been officially renewed for a fourth season! While details are still emerging, here’s everything we know so far about Season 4, including what to expect, potential storylines, and when we might see the Landry women back on our screens.
Renewal Status
Great news for fans: The Way Home was renewed for a fourth season shortly before the Season 3 finale aired. This early renewal is a testament to the show’s growing popularity and the network’s confidence in its unique blend of heartwarming family drama and mind-bending time-travel mysteries. While production is expected to begin later this year, fans will likely have to wait until early 2025 for the new season to premiere.
What to Expect in Season 4
1. New Characters and Time Periods
The time-travel aspect of The Way Home opens the door for the introduction of new characters and unexplored time periods. Season 3 introduced us to younger versions of Del (played by Julia Tomasone) and Colton (played by Jordan Doww), and Season 4 could delve even deeper into the past. Will we meet other members of the Landry family or key figures from Port Haven’s history? The possibilities are endless.
2. Deeper Dives into the Main Characters’ Pasts
Season 4 is likely to continue exploring the backstories of the main characters. Del’s fractured memories, Kat’s unresolved feelings for Elliot, and Alice’s growing understanding of her role in the family’s history are all ripe for further exploration. Additionally, we may learn more about Casey’s connection to the Landry family and how her actions have shaped their present and future.
3. The Pond’s Mysteries Deepen
The pond remains at the heart of the show’s mystery, and Season 4 is expected to delve even deeper into its secrets. Is the pond merely a portal, or does it have its own agenda? The finale of Season 3 hinted that the pond isn’t done with the Landry women, and Season 4 could reveal shocking new rules—or consequences—for those who dare to use it.
4. Colton’s Fate and Legacy
Colton’s story took a dramatic turn in Season 3, and Season 4 is likely to explore his legacy further. Did he truly stop time traveling after 1974, or is there more to his story? The revelation that he may have pushed Alice into the pond in 1999 raises even more questions about his motivations and the impact of his actions on the family.
5. Alice’s Journey Comes Full Circle
Alice has grown significantly over the course of the series, and Season 4 could see her stepping into a more central role. As she uncovers more about her family’s history and her own connection to the pond, Alice may find herself facing difficult choices that could change the course of her life—and the lives of those around her.
6. Kat and Elliot’s Relationship
Kat and Elliot’s relationship has been a slow burn throughout the series, and Season 4 could finally bring them together—or tear them apart. With Thomas out of the picture and Elliot’s feelings for Kat laid bare, the new season could explore whether these two soulmates can find their way back to each other.
7. New Twists and Turns
The Way Home is known for its unexpected twists, and Season 4 is sure to deliver more shocking moments. From new time-travel rules to surprising connections between characters, fans can expect the unexpected as the Landry women continue their journey through time.
Release Date
While an official release date for Season 4 has not been announced, production is expected to begin later this year. Given the show’s typical production schedule, fans can likely expect Season 4 to premiere in early 2025. In the meantime, Hallmark Channel may release teasers, trailers, and behind-the-scenes content to keep fans engaged.
