The Way Home Season 3 Gets Story & Filming Updates From Showrunners

I always thought it was odd the way Colton recognized Kat right when he died.  Also odd that he didn't seem to recognize her before that if he recognized her then.  

I will watch this show the bitter end, no matter how little sense it makes.  The same with I did with Lost and we all know how that went.  lol

That absolutely is a dick move.

 

[LGK]

Yeah, the show was not that good. Guess I'll read spoilers and wait

[Lisa418722]

I was looking so forward to this show rather than the umpteen season of Who Cares About The Heart (not dissing on people who like it, but I don't).  

I have not yet cut the cord, so I am still paying for cable. I have Peacock (with commercials) through Comcast, but I don't have Hulu, Netflix, Paramount+, etc. As much as I would love to see this show, I'm not willing to pay extra. I know I will end up watching the show in the fall, but right now, I'm just tired of dealing with Hallmark's greed.  
 

[bunnyface]

Yeah, I like the show, holes and all, but I'm not willing to pay extra to see it.  And by the time it comes on in the fall, it will be almost two years since the last episode.  I may have it out of my system by then.

"How can we alienate the people who rarely watch our network but like this show?  Oh, I know!"

This is probably the only thing of theirs I've watched in 10 years, and I'm not willing to pay for it.

 

[DMK]

I had a feeling hallmark would pull this when they announced their streamer.

[Woopwoopkitty]

I'm debating.  It's dick move and I'm not a streamer and I'm not exicted about paying extra. That said, I love this show and really don't want to wait longer to see what happens next. 

[Daff]

I’m hoping that this, and Mistletoe Mysteries will eventually move to cable/satellite channels. Meanwhile, in another “dick” move, for those cable/satellite subscribers who don’t have all the hallmark channels-you can add them to your service for $9/month! Hell, the pay movie channels don’t even charge that much.

Yeah, but when does it end?  You have to pay whatever service you use to get channels and then you have to pay for umpteen extra channels to get all the shows they are putting on those instead of the original channels.  Can I afford $9 a month? Yeah.  Does it piss me off I have to pay an extra $9 on top of everything else to watch shows?  Yeah.  Just seems like more corporate greed.

That's exactly it. I can afford it but I'm not willing to spend it when it should be free. Hallmarks content by and large is just trite garbage, the one time they produce something decent and different they expect me to pay extra. No.  There are too many other options that are already included with what I do pay for.

Hallmark reverses decision to move The Way Home to premium channel

I had a suspicion this was going to happen - the powers that be thought it would be a good way to get people to subscribe to yet another channel. But they would have risked alienating a lot of viewers, splitting up if not altogether losing the show's audience.

streaming next day on Hallmark+

[DMK]

The viewers revolted! Hahaha… 

[Notabug]

Hallmark running wall to wall commercials about it: 'due to popular demand...'

[redpencil]

I'm glad they reversed course, but networks should never move a show to their streaming network midstream. That's just disrespectful to viewers. Debut a new show on a streamer if you want, maybe even if with a "sneak peek" on your channel if you must to try to hook subscribers, but that's it. The only way a show should ever move to streaming in a later season is if it gets cancelled first and then picked up by a totally different streaming entity (I've watched multiple shows this happened to).

They are actually doing plenty of this, too. I am glad they’ll continue The Way Home where it began. I already pay for Hallmark content (3channels) through my satellite provider, so I don’t feel like I should pay them more.
