The Way Home may be coming to an end, but not before a journey through time introduces viewers to a few new faces.
The Hallmark Channel series is traveling back to 1920s Port Haven during its upcoming fourth and final season, as mysteries are unearthed and lingering questions about the past find a way to haunt the present-day Landry clan.
“It’s a world of decadent deco glitz and dark, dangerous shadows, where flappers and bootleggers run rampant ... and a very special member of the Landry family tree is waiting,” executive producers Heather Conkie and Alexandra Clarke told PEOPLE in March 2026.
Joining the cast are two faces familiar to Hallmark fans, Gabriel Hogan and Dan Jeannotte, as well as newcomers Bianca Melchior and Kelsey Falconer. The latest installment, which premiered April 19, reveals how these characters’ stories intertwine with their relatives.
Here’s everything to know about the new cast members who have joined The Way Home season 4.

Prior to the season 4 premiere, newcomer Melchior was announced to be originating the role of a young Fern Landry — Colton’s grandmother and Kat’s great grandmother.
Taking fans back to days of the Roaring Twenties in 1925, young Fern can be seen meeting Kat at the pond in a teaser clip previewing the new season. Together, the pair dive deep into the culture of the time, showing off their flapper fashion as they hit the party scene.
“We are so thrilled to have a new roster of characters in that era that we’re going to come to meet, namely Bianca Melchior, who plays Fern in that era. She is amazing, and I can’t wait for everyone to meet her,” Clarke told TV Insider.
While not much is known yet about what role young Fern plays in the lives of her relatives, fans are speculating that she may be the one who originates Kat’s “Kitty Kat” nickname.

Hallmark fans will recognize new cast member Jeannotte from The Good Witch as well as films like A Royal Setting and Love on the Danube: Royal Getaway.
Jeannotte will take on the role of Port Haven’s new temperance inspector, Cliff Kane, who he has referred to as a “prohibition cop” in the 1920s storyline.
During an appearance on the Pop Culture Planet podcast in March 2026, Jeannotte revealed that his character was “intertwined with the Landry family” and called the season “romantic, exciting [and] dangerous.”
The actor also noted that taking on the role was “so fun ... not just because of the costume and the era” but because of the “wonderfully warm” set.
“When you come into a show that’s been up and running for a while, you don’t know what it’ll be like to come in," he continued. "Everybody’s dynamic is established already but this was one of the friendliest sets that I’ve been on. It was so lovely. Everybody was so welcoming."

Rounding out the new cast members is Falconer, who has previously appeared on shows like Doc and Fargo. Her upcoming role on The Way Home has been shrouded in mystery — until recently.
Eagle-eyed fans have spotted Falconer in trailers for The Way Home, where she can be seen in a photo alongside a younger Del and Colton Landry.
Falconer also appears in a brief clip standing behind a register while motioning someone to be quiet, although who she’s looking at is not clear.
Ahead of season 4's episode 3, Falconer revealed on Instagram that she is playing Tessa.
