The Way Home fans have spoken — and Hallmark executives have listened. A couple of weeks after it was announced that the popular Hallmark Channel series starring Andie MacDowell will migrate from the linear cable network to Hallmark+ for its upcoming third season, the decision has been reversed.
Instead of debuting Jan. 2 exclusively on Hallmark+ as previously announced, with a run on Hallmark Channel in fall 2025, Season 3 will premiere Jan. 3 on the cable network and will be available on the subscription streaming service the next day.
The Way Home, which also stars Chyler Leigh, Evan Williams and Sadie Laflamme-Snow, is the No. 1 most-watched program overall on entertainment cable among homes, viewers and women and persons 18+, per Hallmark.
