The Way Home, the Hallmark Channel’s excellent time-travel fantasy drama, made its Netflix debut (as we first reported) on October 1st, 2025, in the United States and has been lighting up the top 10 charts. Will the third season, which has already been released, come to Netflix, and what’s the status of season 4? Here’s what we know about the future of the show and its plans on Netflix.
Just as a quick recap, in case you’ve not checked out the show yet. It’s regarded as one of the best shows in the history of the Hallmark Channel, with Chyler Leigh, Evan Williams, Sadie Laflamme-Snow, and Andie MacDowell headlining the cast. The synopsis reads, “After years apart, three generations of women reunite and must face their family’s complex past when the youngest makes an unimaginable discovery.”
Since its arrival on Netflix in the United States, the series has spent every single one of those in the Netflix US top 10s, with it peaking in the number six spot thus far. Sadly, no other regions have been announced to pick up the show as of the time of publication.
The addition to Netflix was part of an expanded new deal between Hallmark Channel, which will bring many of their movies to the service, as well as shows like The Way Home. That was the first of two additions, with the other being The Book Club Murders, which also landed on October 1st. A slate of Christmas movies is planned for international territories on November 1st, with more movies set for release in the US in January 2026.
In a statement upon the announcement, Hallmark Media SVP and head of distribution Jesse Wallace said, “We are thrilled about the partnership with Netflix, which brings Hallmark’s critically acclaimed series, ‘The Way Home,’ and popular romantic comedy movies to subscribers in the U.S., and holiday films in select international markets.”
Season 3 of The Way Home will touch down in February 2026
As part of the announcement of the new partnership between Hallmark Channel and Netflix, it was confirmed that Season 3 would be released sometime in February. We wouldn’t be surprised if it were at the beginning of the month again, but please keep this post bookmarked, as we’ll keep you posted as soon as we have the exact release date.
Furthermore, our understanding is that Netflix will retain the series for quite some time, with the license set to expire in October 2027 at the absolute earliest, but may be extended even further with the release of new seasons.
The third season premiered on Hallmark Channel in January of this year with 10 episodes airing through March. The season kicks off with the Landry women uncovering long-awaited answers, but a shocking revelation sparks a new search for truth. New cast members for the third season included Julia Tomasone, Jordan Doww, and Devin Cesshetto, all playing younger versions of characters already introduced.
Will season 4 of The Way Home be on Netflix?
Confirmed for a 2026 release, we got confirmation of a fourth season shortly after season 3 wrapped up. It got into production in mid-August 2025 in Scarborough, Ontario, and is scheduled to wrap on November 26th, 2025.
Upon its renewal, Hallmark released the following statement:
“Our talented writing staff led by the mother-daughter showrunning team of Heather Conkie and Alexandra Clarke continues to amaze us as they raise the bar each season. Their carefully crafted storytelling filled with family drama, romance and an absorbing mystery has enthralled the show’s passionate fanbase and has made The Way Home appointment television.”
No word has been announced on whether season 4 of The Way Home will be available on Netflix. Still, it is unlikely to premiere on the streamer until long after its run on Hallmark Channel and its initial exclusivity on Hallmark+’s streaming service.
