Here’s some good news for anyone looking for their next pick to binge on Netflix: one of Hallmark’s most talked-about dramas, The Way Home, is finally on the platform.

And if you are thinking that this name rings a bell, you are not wrong, as it is not a brand-new show. It first aired back in 2023, and it’s a mix of family drama and time-travel mystery. This unique concept has earned it a loyal fan base. Now that it’s on Netflix from October 2025, it’s about to reach a much bigger audience.

At first glance, The Way Home might sound like your typical family drama: three generations of women under one roof, and it’s natural that there is plenty of tension. They also carry some old wounds that refuse to heal. But the show adds a twist that makes it far more intriguing.

It’s a family drama with some mystery and part-time-travel fable. No wonder Hallmark gave it multiple seasons, and no wonder Netflix is picking it up now. So, before it lands in your “Top Picks” row, here’s a quick guide.

What is the plot?

The Way Home follows the Landry women, with Del (grandmother), Kat (daughter), and Alice (granddaughter), as they try to mend their fractured relationships. Del runs the family farm in a quiet Canadian town. Kat moves back to her childhood home after her divorce, but reconciliation isn’t simple: Del is still grieving, Kat is haunted by her past, and Alice feels completely out of place.

The family drama intensifies until Alice discovers the pond on their farm is a time portal. Suddenly, she’s thrown into Kat’s teenage years in the late 1990s, and the show begins weaving together two timelines. You have one in the present day and one in the past to explore how choices echo across generations.

Who is in the cast and crew?

The series stars Andie MacDowell (Maid, The Last Laugh) as Del Landry, Chyler Leigh (Supergirl, Grey’s Anatomy) as Kat, and Sadie Laflamme-Snow as Alice. Supporting roles include Evan Williams, Jefferson Brown, and Alex Hook as teen Kat. Behind the scenes, it was created by Heather Conkie and her daughter Alexandra Clarke, with Marly Reed also associated as a creator and executive producer.

Is there a trailer available?

Yes, Hallmark has released multiple trailers and teasers since the show began in 2023. While Netflix hasn’t dropped a brand-new trailer yet, the original promos are enough to show you the mix of small-town intimacy and time-slip mystery the series thrives on.

When does The Way Home release on Netflix?

Here’s the part Netflix fans care about: The Way Home has officially arrived on Netflix US as of October 1st. Seasons one and two will both be available to stream right away. Since the series has already been renewed for a fourth season on Hallmark, this isn’t a one-and-done show. If you get hooked, there’s more to look forward to.

So, if you missed it when it first aired or never had access to Hallmark, this October is the perfect time to dive into the Landry family saga. Just remember: in The Way Home, the past is never really past.
