Hallmark’s beloved time-traveling series, “The Way Home,” is gearing up for its fourth and final season. Fans of the show, including Chyler Leigh who plays Kat Landry, are preparing to bid farewell to the cherished characters and the close-knit cast. Despite fans lobbying for more seasons, Leigh believes that the upcoming final chapter will provide the closure and satisfaction that viewers have been longing for. The fourth season, comprised of 10 episodes, is set to premiere on Sunday, April 19.

Leigh teased that Season 4 will continue the show’s tradition of intrigue and romance, promising that every answer will lead to a new question.
The themes of complicated generational relationships explored in “The Way Home” hit close to home for Leigh, who has experienced her own estrangement from her mother.

The evolution of being a mother and a daughter, the inability to change the past, and the importance of love are central themes that resonate strongly with Leigh.
While saying goodbye to her character Kat Landry won’t be easy, Leigh has found solace in taking home a piece of the show with her. The portrait of Kat, titled “My Katherine,” now proudly displayed above Leigh’s fireplace, symbolizes Kat’s journey of heartache and personal growth throughout the series.
