Time-travel drama fans, rejoice! Hallmark Channel’s “The Way Home” made its Netflix debut on October 1, 2025, in the United States and has been lighting up the top 10 charts. But if you’ve already binged Seasons 1 and 2, you’re probably wondering: when will Seasons 3 and 4 hit the streaming platform? Let’s unravel this temporal mystery.
The Way Home: Netflix Release Schedule
| Season | Hallmark Premiere | Expected Netflix Release |

| Season 1 | January 2023 | October 1, 2025 (Available Now) |
| Season 2 | January 2024 | October 1, 2025 (Available Now) |

What Makes The Way Home So Special?
Three generations of strong, independent women living together in the small farm town of Port Haven embark on an enlightening journey as they learn how to find their way back to each other. The show stars Andie MacDowell, Chyler Leigh, Sadie Laflamme-Snow, and Evan Williams in a multigenerational family drama with a fascinating time-travel twist.
Unlike typical time-travel shows that focus on grand historical events, “The Way Home” uses time travel to explore family dynamics, healing generational trauma, and second chances. It’s heartfelt, emotional, and surprisingly gripping—perfect for anyone who loved “This Is Us” but wished it had magical ponds.

When Will Season 3 Hit Netflix?
Season 3 premiered on January 3, 2025, on the Hallmark Channel and then on Hallmark+ the next day. Based on Netflix’s typical licensing patterns with Hallmark content (roughly 12-18 months after the original premiere), expect Season 3 to arrive on Netflix around February 2026.
This timeline follows the same pattern we saw with Seasons 1 and 2, which took approximately two years to reach Netflix after their original Hallmark premieres.
Season 4: Is It Confirmed?
Great news for fans! The critically-acclaimed hit series has been renewed for Season 3, set to return in 2025, and while Season 4 hasn’t been officially confirmed yet, the show’s popularity makes renewal likely. If there is a fourth season, it would likely air January to March of 2026, following the established seasonal pattern.
If Season 4 premieres in early 2026 on Hallmark, Netflix subscribers could expect it around late 2026 or early 2027, maintaining the streaming platform’s consistent release window.
Stay tuned to our streaming updates for the latest on Season 4 confirmation.
Why The Netflix Wait?
Hallmark has exclusive first-run rights to new episodes, which is standard for original programming. The network wants viewers to watch on Hallmark Channel or Hallmark+ first. Only after this exclusive window closes does Netflix gain streaming rights—typically 18-24 months later.

Worth The Wait?
Absolutely! The show has garnered critical acclaim and passionate fan engagement. Season 3 ended with quite a number of reveals, including major plot twists involving Elliot and Alice, setting up even more compelling storylines ahead.
Whether you’re catching up on Netflix or eagerly awaiting new seasons, “The Way Home” offers rich storytelling that rewards patient viewers. Check out more must-watch family dramas while you wait for new episodes!
