Hallmark Channel offers viewers a special event night with a double dose of primetime drama on Sunday, March 26. The night kicks off with the highly-anticipated finale of its critically acclaimed, hit multigenerational family drama series “The Way Home,” which travels to an earlier time slot of 8PM ET/PT. Then hold on to your cowboy hats for the debut of an all-new original series “Ride” @ 9PM ET/PT, following the intertwined lives of a rodeo family dynasty.
Andie MacDowell (Maid, Debbie Macomber’s Cedar Cove), Chyler Leigh (Supergirl, Grey’s Anatomy), Evan Williams (Blonde, Versailles), and Sadie Laflamme-Snow (The Apprentice) star in “The Way Home,” which premiered Sunday, January 15, and has caught the attention of critics who have lauded the series for its compelling and innovative storytelling and standout performances, with MediaPost saying, “‘The Way Home‘ on Hallmark is a gem of a drama,” while Parade asserted, “It’s an intriguing generational family mystery with unexpected twists featuring strong female characters – a perfect fit for Hallmark.” Over its first three episodes, “The Way Home” grew from its premiere to become cable’s #1 program on Sundays. “The Way Home” tells the story of the Landry women, who have been estranged for more than 20 years after the unexplained disappearance of the youngest in the family and untimely death of the patriarch. Now under the same roof again, they must find their way back to each other by discovering truths about their past.
Nancy Travis (Last Man Standing, The Kominsky Method), Tiera Skovbye (Riverdale, Nurses), Beau Mirchoff (Good Trouble, Hidden Gems), Sara Garcia (The Flash, Reign), Jake Foy (Designated Survivor, A Little Daytime Drama) and Tyler Jacob Moore (Barry, Shameless) star in the new, multigenerational family ensemble following the lives of the McMurrays, part of a rodeo dynasty going back a generation, as they struggle to keep their beloved ranch afloat. After a tragic loss, each character embarks on an empowering journey of transformation and self-discovery while also uncovering a twisted web of secrets, threatening to tear the family and their small Colorado town apart at the seams.
