‘The Way Home’ Season 2 Premiere Date, Cast, Photos, How to Watch, What to Expect
Hallmark Channel has found its way home, again. Time-travel family drama The Way Home returns for its sophomore season in January 2024. The new episodes will pick up immediately after season 1’s cliffhanger finale, which ended with Kat having a critical realization about what may have happened to her missing younger brother, Jacob.
In The Way Home Season 2, Kat reveals to her mother, Del, her theory about what happened to Jacob. As Kat continues her quest to find Jacob, the Landry women learn more about their family’s origins, which answers some questions while also raising new ones.

What happened at the end of ‘The Way Home’ Season 1?
Where did we leave the Landry women at the end of The Way Home Season 1?
Kat had discovered that not only were she and Alice inadvertently responsible for her dad Colton’s death, but that she was also the mystery woman at his funeral. Her presence had led Del to believe her husband had been unfaithful, only adding to the pain of his loss.
As Kat grappled with what she’d learned, she turned to her old friend Elliot for support. (Elliot is also the only person aside from Alice and Kat who knows about the pond’s true qualities.) Kat and Elliot had recently acted on their long-simmering feelings for each other. But Elliot suddenly pulled away. His knowledge of the future had dictated his life, and he wanted to finally be able to make choices without knowing what would happen.
In the finale, Kat also discovered that the Landry family dog had been traveling in time via the pond. She realized that on the night he disappeared, Jacob likely followed the dog into the pond and then ended up stuck in the past. The episode ended with a nod to a scene from the series premiere, when a mob of people chased a woman in white through the woods in 1814. We saw the scene again, only this time the woman was revealed to be Kat. “I’ll be back for you, Jacob. I promise,” she said just before she jumped in the pond.
What to expect from ‘The Way Home’ Season 2 premiere
What can we expect from The Way Home Season 2 premiere? Hallmark has revealed a synopsis for the upcoming episode, titled “The Space Between”: “Del recreates traditions of family summers past, Alice misses her friends, and Kat grapples with Jacob’s mystery in the wake of losing Elliot.”
