The Hallmark Channel isn’t just a glamorous destination Romantic movies and Family friendly fare. It’s also a reliable place to discover great TV shows. The Way Home, a surprisingly addictive show that’s a family drama mixed with a time-travel mystery (and packed with plenty of great original music, too!), returns for a fourth season this spring.

Why do I describe the landscape features around their house?

But when they start trying to change their family history, things get complicated.

It became an iconic series when it was released CEO of Netflix Administrator became head of programming at Hallmark and moved the show to the network.

The series feels like a departure for Hallmark, mainly because most Hallmark releases don’t dabble in science fiction or time travel, or feature such twisty and convoluted plots. The show is smart and clever, weaving multiple timelines together and allowing new secrets to be revealed in each season, but still being accessible and appropriate for most ages.
