The Way Home will conclude its third season on Friday, March 6. Hallmark fans have called for the network to renew the season for a fourth season. They want to see some resolution to the storylines, and their wish has already been granted.
Returning In 2026
Deadline reported that The Way Home has been renewed for a fourth season. Hallmark executives noticed the multiple online petitions created in support of the drama. Fans have wondered whether the show would be renewed for a fourth season. Typically, Hallmark shares this news around the show’s season finale. Season 4 will debut in 2026.
“Our talented writing staff led by the mother-daughter show running team of Heather Conkie and Alexandra Clarke continues to amaze us as they raise the bar each season,” said Samantha DiPippo, SVP of Programming at Hallmark Media, said in a statement to Deadline. “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.”
Hallmark ruffled the fans’ feathers before. Last year, the network announced its plans to move the series to Hallmark+. The company backtracked on its decision after the backlash. All three seasons of the popular show are still available to stream on the platform. However, fans can also watch them weekly on the Hallmark Channel.

They want to show to come back on Sunday nights, which is a primetime slot. When Calls the Heart airs during that time. “So excited 🎉 hopefully, they’ll put you back on Sunday nights 👏,” the user noted.
