Veteran actress Andie MacDowell reunites with the Hallmark Channel to star in “The Way Home” series.
“The Way Home” is the Crown Media network’s new original primetime series announced last month that was the first to be greenlit since 2016.
Synopsis of ‘The Way Home’ series
Andie MacDowell plays Del, the matriarch of the Landry family and a pillar of the close-knit community of her small, Canadian farm town.
She and her daughter Kat have been estranged from each other following tragic events that left their family forever changed and prompted Kat to move away.
When Kat unexpectedly returns many years later with her teenage daughter whom Del has never met, the three generations of women embark on an enlightening journey to find their way back to each other and learn important lessons about their family’s past.
“We’ve found our perfect Del Landry in Andie MacDowell,” stated Lisa Hamilton Daly, Executive Vice President of Programming, Crown Media Family Networks.
“It was crucial to cast someone with the ability to handle the nuances and depth of the role and we can’t wait to see her bring Del to life,” Hamilton Daly added.
“Our viewers loved Andie MacDowell when she starred in ‘Debbie Macomber’s Cedar Cove,’ our first original primetime series,” remarked Laurie Ferneau, Senior Vice President, Development, Crown Media Family Networks.
“We couldn’t be happier to welcome her home to Hallmark Channel and we know our fans will fall in love with her all over again,” Ferneau added.
“The Way Home” is executive produced by Marly Reed and Arnie Zipursky for Neshama Entertainment, as well as Larry Grimaldi, Hannah Pillemer, and Fernando Szew for MarVista Entertainment; and Heather Conkie, Alexandra Clarke, and Andie MacDowell.
