Hallmark Channel has a new series coming! The network gave the The Way Home the green light back in June, and now we're weeks away from the premiere. The series follows the lives of three generations of women in a single family with a time travel curveball thrown in.
“One of my passions is developing series and it’s beyond thrilling to spearhead the development of The Way Home and others for Crown Media,” said Lisa Hamilton Daly, Executive VP of Programming for Crown Media Family Networks.
What is The Way Home about?
Kat Landry (Chyler Leigh), her 15-year-old daughter Alice (Sadie Laflamme-Snow), and Kat’s estranged mother Del (Andie MacDowell) are all strong, willful and independent. More than 20 years prior, life-changing events created a chasm in their family that time has yet to repair. Kat and Del still aren’t on speaking terms. Alice has never met her grandmother and is unaware of the reasons for their fractured family. When the three generations come together under one roof for the first time in more than two decades, a surprising discovery unexpectedly sets the trio on a path toward healing and helps them find their way back to each other.
